Patience: 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.
