Re: How can I grow an inch?

Wait.... are you asking about a vital organ... or does the thought of being a gigabyte make you happy....? Cause I'm a terabyte baby... YA--ha....ha.... oh bleah... >.>

[I read the first post btw :P but its still kind of funny]

Oh yeah and eat meat and milk, but if you're at a certain height, you will probably stay there... For instance I have great uncles that were 7 foot and were in the civil war... needless to say one of them didn't survive--basically someone in your family had to of married someone tall, so apparently your family came from a moderate European family who kept marrying in the same ol' circle (wild hypothesis) and so they just kept getting married, and married to average heighted people.

'Cause lets face it... we all know leprechauns are afraid of giants.... you poor poor Irish wo/man... marry a giant and have larger kids... thats all I got for ye.

Why are people even mentioning drinking/smoking/etc. Rofl.

Genetics people.

I could almost see how doing stretches might give you a slight boost. If you can improve your posture then I suppose you could get slightllyyy taller. XD

Re: How can I grow an inch?

I'm inclined to believe there's probably nothing I can do since I'm already 20 years old and I'm pretty sure I'm done growing

Your inclination is valid. In some cases a lot of men can hit other growth periods in their early 20's, but simply said it will either happen or not. There are many different variables to why you grow to a certain height/weight. For the sake of a constructive comment, I'll just leave out things like genetics, and former diet as these are things that are either in the past or you can't change. The best you could do (that I would recommend) would be to eat a full balanced diet with an extra kick of protein and amino acids.

If you are on any medications, do some research or ask your pharmacist about any possible side effects along the lines of stunted growth or hormone deficiencies. There are common steroidal (and some non-steroidal) medications that will do this such as asthma inhalers, anti-inflammatory based drugs, etc.

However, hormone manipulation is another story. If you are really desperate; research HGH, GHB, or other hormone therapy. This is not something I recommend as it can give you health problems and run you into trouble (illegal substances like GHB or various steroid classed chemicals).

Re: How can I grow an inch?

Genetics helps, I'm 6' 1" and my parents are 5'11" and 5' 7", but I also eat a lot of meat and do aerobics. And it's a great way to stay in shape.

Inversion table. Apparently it helps to stretch out the vertebrae of the spine and give you some more height.

Wouldn't recommend stretching your spine for height unless you're into hurting yourself.

Also, weightlifting doesn't ever stunt growth; it stimulates growth hormone production; and the more intense the exercise, the more hormones will be released. What, do people actually believe doing heavy squats would compress their spines? o_o

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle (good nutritional uptake and regular cardiovascular exercise) while weightlifting would help Sephi's cause. Very general, but those are ultimately the only two things a person could do, really.
