How can I grow taller?!
Question:
How can I grow taller?
I am from singapore, 19 this year, asian, and 5'11(180cm) but im pretty much unstatisfied with my height. Yes thats about average, but many people tower over me in eastern areas of my country.(im taller than many in the western areas tho)
Thats just some background info. Anyway we've been having lots of china immigrants here in the recent years, and they are really tall, averaging about 6'. I see them in the gym and the streets all the time and cant help but feel tiny. It doesnt help that my build is small, and people sometimes even ask me "whats your height? more than 170cm i believe?"
Yea it bothers me a lot, please advise me if theres any way to grow taller at this age, even an inch is appreicated! Thanks in advance!!

There isn't really a way to grow taller, its in you genes and DNA how tall you get. For males they usually keep growing till they are 25, however for females its usually 15. I'm assuming that you are male and since you're not yet 25 you still have time to grow. (unless it's not in your genes to grow taller) You can take vitamins to strengthen your body, you might grow, you might not. Some people go so far as to do steroids, but it isnt worth it. Too many side affects that are life long. (btw its the pituitary gland that releases growth hormone)
