I need to grow taller, but i'm in my late teens... will it be possible?


Question:
i'm 17 years old, female, and only 5'4. i want to be at least 5'6 though. in the past year, i noticed that i've grown about half an inch. is it possible for me to grow more? how? will exercising or eating right help?

Answers:
If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1.Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2.Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Make friends with High Heels!

HELP THAT HELPS
Well, I am not sure if you grow taller when you get older, but you sound a lot like me. I am 17, and about 5'7" and I don't really see any changes in my height. I read in a Health book that people usually stop growing in their late teens. Don't worry about it though, most people like me and my family are in the 5 foot range. Hope this helped!
only time will tell.
it also depends on your genes.
it is possible to grow after 17.
but you may be stuck at 5'4
just be lucky for what you've got (i am 16 and 4'11... i only wish i was 5'1)
