I want to be just like 1 or 1 1/2 inches taller?!


Question: Im 17, 5'8, and I'm wondering if there is any hope for me to just end up being a tiny bit taller? Say if I cut out caffeine from my diet and drank a ton of milk?

If there is no hope, how do I know so I can drink as much caffeine as my heart desires??

Well there really isn't much you can do other than take care of yourself. Its ultimately your DNA that decides how tall you are.

"elevator boots"

milk just makes your bones stronger, not longer.

Some people have a small late growth spurt.

I am 5'3'' and 22, but I had a growth hormone deficiency when I was younger and took human growth hormones. By the time I was 17, I was 5'1''. By the time I was 18, I grew two more inches.

My sister is 5'8-5'9'' and 19. She was 5'7'' about a year and a half ago.

I think it depends on your genes, lifestyle and diet.
