Hello all;
I have a question about the height: I'm a 22-23 year old guy. How taller can I still get? Are there ways to increase the height of a person at that age? (basketball..?) anything to be eaten that would do it? any specific diet/supplement? a certain fitness exercise maybe?
I'd be happy to learn more about this.
THanks!
I can't believe nobody answered this.
Simple: cover yourself in ketchup and hang from your feet upside down every night for 3 hours. Or just date shorter women.
After your early 20's an increase in bone growth is not likely.
A program of stretching exercises can add 1 to 3 inches to your reach and do wonders for your poise and self confidence.
Aren't there pills that will enhance tallness?

Only if your name is Alice.

Excellent! How can I know more about this stretching program? Im ready to go for it and do it regularly
I answered as I did because I know when I've been doing my exercises reaching the top shelves in the kitchen is much easier for me. My exercises are for general strength and agility.
I googled for "Stretching Increased Height" and came across a lot of sites that just reek of Snake Oil. You have your choice of many places to send money.

I'd talk to someone at your local gym--or perhaps the "Y".
I'd guess what you mean by stretching can increase your reach, is by stretching you're more flexible? It's not going to make your limbs any longer, just more mobile.
They always say positive thinking works wonders. Just keep repeating that rap song in your head: "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl with a cell I would call her."

You won't get any taller. By the time you 13, you are already about 80-85% of your permanent height.
No, you won't get any taller, but there are ways that will make you APPEAR taller. Standing up straight, holding your head high, will create the illusion of greater height, as well as shoring up your self-confidence.
