Question 1

i was wondering how i could grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Other options: At age 44, you can't. There are barbaric surgical procedures that lengthen legs at the price of much misery, they are not available in the us.  If you're a "he", muscular development and overall fitness override being short (i know lee priest, 5'3" and a world-class bodybuilder) -- get built up and ripped and they'll call you "tank." a fit woman looks great regardless of height. Good luck.

Question 3

how to grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Exercise, eat, sleep: 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.

In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.
