Reading crazy things like tingling from massage, vitamins, acupuncture, stretching, etc. made adults much taller after 35?any truth to claims or myths
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO, however...: Nothing can make an adult any taller. However, if you have poor posture and are hunched over then improving posture and standing up straight can make you appear taller. But you aren't actually any taller than you were, you just have better posture...

Loads of rumors: Lots of fables are being portrayed online these days, and cures and solutions abound. Most of these are attempts to gain monetary advantage, via fraudulent promotions. In other words, the concept of getting taller after age 35 is not substantiated scientifically.
