I want to become taller. What can I do to increase my height?!


Question: I want to become taller. What can I do to increase my height?
I'm 18 years old and I'm 5'8 (173 cm). I'm taller than most people I know but I want to become taller. Sometimes I look at other people who are taller than me and wish I could become as tall as them. I understand that height is determined by genetics and all that, but I really want to grow a few more inches, maybe even reach 6'. My mum is like 5'6 and I'm not sure how tall my dad is.
I usually walk a lot and try to keep fit when I can and I'm neither skinny or fat. I started to drink a lot of milk last year and I try to have a milkshake or a Nutrament drink when I can.

Is there anything else that would help? Like:

-Taking multivitamin tablets
-Playing basketball
-Stretching exercises
-More sleep
-Running/jogging
-Eating veggies

What you do is, you eat a lot of McDonalds.



You could try praying...lol There's nothing you can do to make yourself grow except hormone injections and those would have to be prescribed and administered by a doctor. At 18 and at that height you have no chance of a doctor agreeing to that. You may not have stopped growing quite yet anyway. You should just be happy as you are as long as you're healthy.
