Iam about 17 years now. what are the things i have to do to grow taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing specific: Keep active ; a healthy diet but don't expect to grow taller unless you have open growth centers.Special diets or exercises won't make a difference.If you want to know if your growth centers are open, an x-ray of your wrist ; hand can be analysed for bone maturity. If open, more growth is possible.
