How to grow taller?

Grow taller: Sorry, but that information has no meaning. How old are you, how tall are you, how heavy are you? I presume you are a man not a woman. Please see your doctor as soon as possible!

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. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height beyond its natural destiny.
