Not without screwing up your joints.\n\nYou could have a look at your posture - if you walk a little more upright it will help.

well people grow taller till the ends of the long bones keep growing ...once they are fused no gain in height is usually possible. If you feel that your growth is not proper do get an appointment with an endocrinologist who deals with problems of growth...however i think your height is sufficient ti leading a normal and fruitful life...so why worry there is more to life then just being tall!!

height is genetic, beyond radical surgery there is no way to increase height

Genetics will predetermine your height RANGE, but not your exact height. Proper nutrition, sufficient protein and calcium will do that.\n\nLook at the Hindus. Their upper caste, the Brahmin, despite being able to afford the best medical care and the best foods, because they eschew meat, are shorties. Average adult male height, 5'5".\n\nIn the USA, where meat is a staple part of a diet, average adult male height is 5'9".\n\nSo, if you want a few inches and you're not done growing, eat red meat! The muscle flesh of mammals contain four amino acids not found anywhere else in nature, nor can the body synthesize them from other nutrients. These four amino acids are the necessary components for proteins that aid both bone growth and muscle growth. Result; greater height. \n\nJust make that meat as UNfatty as you can. Trim off all the fat before cooking. Use lean cuts to start with. And stay away from hamburgers. Due to its original positions in the cow, that meat contains fatty acids you don't want!

This is what my recommendation is.\n\nGood food and Stretching exercises.\n\nI have an article on this subject please read it and understand it.\n*********************************************************************\nIncreasing the Height \nBy \nminootoo\n\n\n\nYou did not say how old you are. But you are under 18 years of age.\n\nIn rear cases, you can increase the height up to age 30.\n\nYou said you have been Cycling. That is a good exercise and fun too.\n\nYou need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first.\n\nThe FEW things I did at least helped me.\n\nSwimming. \n\nNot just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming. Remember slow and steady wins the race.\n\nStretching exercises on floor.\n\nFind them on line.\n\nChin ups.\n\nFull stretch type.\n\nSwinging from a rope.\n\nFull stretch climbing.\n\nIn other words do things that require stanching.\nSTRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH\n\nPS\n\nIn the morning after good night sleep every one is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch taller. This is because the soft tissue between the bones recovers during the time when there is no weight on them.\n\nOlder people loose height due to bone loss. I was 5', 7'' I am only 5', 5".\n\nIssue of Genes: \n\nYou know only the active genes but genes can stay dormant for generations.\n\nI believe that every one has some tall height genes, dormant or active; I again believe that certain exercises can activate those.\n\nAgain Swimming: \n\nYou will start out with half a lap and build up day by day, half a lap at a time. Then you will swim non stop for 1/2 an hour.\n\nThe speed is not important but you must use various strokes and do them correctly, completely, slowly and perfectly. This way you will have full stretch, and its benefit.

My son is almost 15 - he started taking Height Max a few weeks ago, and has grown 1 cm in that time.  Before that, he seemed to have stalled at 5' 5" for at least a year!\n\nHeightMax.com - they ship internationally.

from your description you appear stout but you will certainly be able to add more height to your 165cm over the next 3-5 years. whether you can add another 20cm will depends on your hormones, diet and lifestyle. eating well with high protein food and playing games (especially those that allow you to stretch, like swimming, basketball) should help you grow to your dream height. but, andrew, even if you do not, it is not the end of your happiness. lots of guys shorter than you are very happy. it is who you are, your personality and love for life that attract you to others and others to you. enjoy life. you have many good years ahead.

Sorry, But I have to agree with the others that have answered your question.\n\nHow tall you will be depends on how tall your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents are or were. \n\nUnfortunately there is not an exercise that will make you taller.

your height is detrmined by genetics - if you look at the height of your father, grandfathers and uncles - you will probably be close to the average of them - perhaps an inch or so taller \n\nto maximise your height eat well, lots of good food and get lots of good sleep - at least 9 hours a night \n\nexercise regularly - you can do pushups, squats, pullups, situps, run, cycle and do some light weights - dont do heavy weights until you are a few years older - do stretching to keep your joints long and limber \n\ntry to do some  fast sports like flag (touch) football or soccer and swim - fast sports will help build good muscles

hey if you are below 15 years. and if you do some right workout. it is little possible to become tall. choose a good gym and take some workouts for best result(straight arm pull over, squat, lot workouts, chin-up, etc)... but if u r above 16 years. " There is no chance to make you tall".

Height and growth go on from the birth until adolescence.\nThen skeleton reaches its max (genetic) measures and there is nothing to do for increasing it since any bones is tightly interconnected with the body. Generally the hormones helps the growth during the childhood and the puberty. Therefore  even at 16 years old it's too late.

there is a yoga exercise which can increase your height by 4cm within a year if you do it every day.... its called "the plough posture" and its also great for releavig back pain in some cases...\n\nits pretty easy, all you have to do is lie down on your back(on the floor), bring both legs over your head and try to keep them straight... stretch your hands out so that they are parallel to your legs... while youre in this position breathe slowly and deeply from the abdomen and concentrate on the spine. Stay in the posture for about 1 minute.....  To come out of the posture, just slowly uncurl the spine... do not panic if you feel an uncomfortable feeling in your back once you place youre legs back on the floor... just lie there for a couple of minutes and relax..... \n\nthe exercise opens up the spinal discs and stretches most spinal muscles and ligaments...  its very good for your back...\nBUT IF YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH YOURE BACK YOU SHOULD TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO THIS EXERCISE.....

The best way to grow taller is to eat nutritious food and excercise. Because of your age, you may be nearing your last spurt of growth. It is important that during this last spurt of growth, you excercise and eat healthily because this might be your last chance to grow taller. You may be able to grow up to an inch.
