Question 1

What are the best ways to grow taller at 16 and if you put stretching please list examples of what stretches?

Accepted Answer

Genetics and the growth centers of your bones determine how tall you can grow.Most growth centers will close at 16-19 years of age in males. After that happens, you can not grow taller.  If your growth centers are open (xray), a balanced diet/rest ; healthy physical activity would support good growth.There are no special diets, meds or exercises that make you taller.

Question 2

Hi is there any supplements or devices that can make me grow taller at 16 years old?

Accepted Answer

At sixteen your growth centers have some potential for growth and simple measures help the best.Follow a healthy diet, rest and exercise,  but supplements will not make you grow taller than your genetic potential.If you want to know how much longer you have to grow, an x-ray of your wrist and hand can be analysed for bone maturity.If close to 16 you have a little left, if like 14 you have more.

Question 3

How can i grow 6 inches taller at 16 girl?

Accepted Answer

At sixteen your growth centers may be closing  and you are unlikely to grow much taller.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of your wrist ; hand can be analysed for bone maturity ; tell if the growth centers remain open to new growth.Good nutrition, rest and exercise allow a person to reach their tallest height while the opposite will stunt growth.

Question 4

What can make me grow taller faster or rapid when i am 16?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

I'm 16, female and 160cm tall. can i still grow taller? how can i grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.

Question 6

I'm 16 and i'm 5'10" ..at 12 i was 5'4".......will i grow taller....i want to be at least 6'0-6'1"?

Accepted Answer

I don't know where you'll end up, but you probably have another few years of growth.  Your goal might not be unreasonable.

Question 7

I've asked multiple question and recived different answers, in general for a male 16 yr will i grow taller, i'm 5.10 only looking for 1 inch gain?

Accepted Answer

If you are male, the typical growth spurt is between 13-16. If there are other males in the family that continue their height growth after 18, you may as well. There is nothing you can do to make yourself grow taller. It's mainly genetics. Just work on being healthy- good nutrition, good exercise, and healthy habits.

Question 8

I am 16 years old male and i'm 5'2, how can i grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, there is no safe/effective way to boost your height.  Some drugs can make you grow, but they also cause serious, permanent medical side effects and are not safe or healthy.  Anything you may read--like hanging by your legs/arms etc--have not been proven to work.  Eat a healthy diet  calcium and protein so your body can grow to it's maximum potential.

Question 9

What do you suggest if i am 16 years old, will i grow taller ?

Accepted Answer

Growth patterns are related with hormonal changes and with the genetics of your family.  There are individuals that achieve their peak growth earlier than 16 and others that still continue to grow after.  Your doctor is the best source to tell you that, since he has records of your growth pattern over the years.  Also, ask your parents and see when they achieved their permanent hight.
