How do I grow taller?!


Question: How do I grow taller?
Hey, I'm a 15 year old girl, and the smallest in my class, the smallest in year 10 in fact... MOST of the year 7's are taller than me, and I'm starting to get annoyed with the piss about on my height, so any tips on how to grow taller, like:
What to eat?
What type of exercise?
What type of stretching?

I do martial arts (Karate) and can get my kicks pretty high, but I'm still working my way towards a split so that A) I can grown taller and B) I want to improve my martial arts

Any tips would be most appreciated :) Thankssss

Unfortunately, there is no real way to become taller.

Height is a result of the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) secreted by the pituitary gland. Although it is possible to lengthen certain muscles, none of these will contribute to a noticeable or even a slight height increase.

It would be ideal, however, that you retain a lean body so as for you to appear taller and for increases in bone length to be more noticeable in terms of your height. Just ensure your diet includes the standard four servings of vegetables and 3 servings of fruit as well as a healthy amount of whole grains and about a serving of meat a day.

I'm sorry to say that height can't be increased. There may, however, be the off chance that the HGH secreted by your pituitary gland was delayed and so there is a chance that you will have an increase in growth in the years to come.



Hey!
I did a study on height so I hope I can help you.
There are only 3 things you can do that will help you grow:
1. Eat healthy food with enough vitamins and protein- just your RDAs
2. Keep fit and active so your metabolism is fast and you body processes everything efficiently
3. Sleep enough each night so your body has chance to build up

Stretching does not make you taller. It can help you keep good posture, which makes you look an inch or two taller than someone with bad posture, but it's not actual growth.

Other than this, your height is set by your genes. But you can do things that will make you look taller than you really are, and also look your age so that people won't treat you like a kid. I have loads more info on this so if you want more just mail me through my profile.
