is there any kind of pill. natural juice or exercise that could make me grow taller
Answer:
i found i got taller by eating a lot of mocha almond fudge ice cream. i dont know how it happend but to make a long story short, i am the tallest girl in my family! i am very lucky i didnt gain three hundred pounds during that time though :)
no but you could try standing in a grow bag, you get them in garden centers.
Hormone theropy is one way that can help, but you need to start this when you are young (grade school age, or younger), and this needs to be administered / monitored by a physician.If you are older, there is a method that I first heard of on TV years ago. A Baltimore Doctor had perfected it, and now it is done in various places in the USA. In the procedure, your lower leg bones are broken, your legs stretched out and held in place with metal clamps. These braces on your legs have adjustments. During your recovery, the bone material fills in the gap, and on regular visits to the Dr., the adjustments on the leg braces are adjusted slowly until the desired length is acheived. For this procedure, you must be young enough for your bones to grow and heal (under age 30 would be ideal)
Yes, it is entirely possible, and probable to get taller. There are number of factors involved though, and it needs to be a lifestyle choice, not a once off thing. I am 5 ft 6 inches myself, but I really enjoy my height and do not want to get any taller at this stage, but for yourself, here is the following:- HGH (human growth hormone) pills/injections
- Stretching, particularly your spine, hips/pelvic region,
thighs/upper legs
- Vitamins and Minerals (Vitamin A, Zinc, Calcium, Vitamin
D, Magnesium, Iodine, Amino Acids/Protein, Selenium)
- Dariy foods, Meats, Vegetables, Fruits, Wholegrains,
Healthy oils, Plenty of Water
- Heaps of sleep(enables body to grow, promotes production
of Human Growth Hormone in the body - weight training is
also excellent for this)Apart from the above, please let others know, as they may be asking the same question as you!
Genetics and Height

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/mo...Question:
My son is 16 and about 5 feet, 7 inches tall. He keeps asking if there's anything he can do to become taller.
– Chris
Answer:
Taking care of himself — eating well, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of rest — is the best way to help his body reach its natural potential. But assuming his diet is normal and he has no medical problems, there's no magic pill or formula or nutritional supplement for increasing height. In fact, his genes are the major determinant of how tall he'll be.Most teens can expect to grow a total of about 7 to 10 inches during puberty before they reach full adult height. Each person is a little different, so everyone starts and goes through puberty on his or her body's own schedule. Those who start a little later than their friends will usually continue to grow a little later, too.If you're concerned about your son's growth, talk with his doctor
http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/questio...The Tall Girl - Doctor's ResponseHeight is one of the many characteristics that is largely inherited from your parents. Therefore, if you are tall, perhaps it is because you have tall parents. There is no way for you to stunt your growth. However, maybe you will not always be the tallest in your class. Girls tend to grow before boys and therefore are sometimes taller than boys at this age. But the boys will hit their growth spurt soon and when they do, many of them grow taller than the girls. Even some of the girls you are taller than right now will grow more than you and become taller than you at a later age. Everyone grows at different times and different rates. Variations in height are absolutely normal amongst humans.The Short Boy - Doctor's ResponseHeight is one of the many characteristics that is largely inherited from your parents. Therefore, if you are short, perhaps it is because you have short parents. There is no way for you to increase your height. However, maybe you will not always be the shortest fellow in your class. Girls tend to grow before boys and therefore are sometimes taller than boys at this age. As for boys, they hit their growth spurt between the ages of 12 and 17 and many of them grow taller than the girls. Some of the boys who are taller than you now may actually be shorter than you at a later age. Everyone grows at different times and different rates. Variations in height are absolutely normal amongst humans.

Avoid scams that say if you buy their product, you will be taller, it’s so not true!NO WAY TO GROW TALLER AFTER PUBERTY
Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
Web sites for products such as "HeightGrowth" are so unbelievable that the people who wrote them must be laughing as they steal people's money for totally worthless products.
They tell you that if you take HeightGrowth, you will continue to grow until you are as tall as you like, at any age. If that were true, we would see people who are 15 feet tall and basketball would be an entirely different sport.
Bones do not grow throughout their length. They grow from growth centers, called the epiphysis, near their ends. When a person reaches puberty, growth centers close one after the other until all the growth centers are closed forever and a person's bones can never grow again. After that, a person can grow wider, but not taller.
Even before a person reaches puberty, the product will have absolutely no effect on growth. The ad claims that HeightGrowth is made of a special mixture of herbs and minerals, and lists 23 plants, many of them vigorous vines such as kudzu, which grows so rapidly that it covers trees and buildings all over the South, and can cross a road overnight. So when you eat kudzu vine and other rampant-growing plants, they want you to believe that you will grow like the vines. Of course this is ridiculous. Kudzu vine grows rapidly because of its genetic structure called DNA. But you cannot absorb DNA from plants or animals that you eat; it is broken down in your stomach and intestines into its nucleic acid building blocks, which have no effect on your own DNA.
The tragedy is that some people will shell out their hard earned money to someone who is making fun of them. They have a 30-day money-back guarantee, even though they recommend that you take their product for six months or more to see results. They know you will probably be too embarrassed to ask for your money back, and people who have tried to get action on similar guarantees report that their money is never returned from these scams.

As you get older, there will be many decisions that you will need to make to ensure that you stay healthy. Eating right, exercising, and getting enough rest are important during puberty because of all the changes your body is going through. It is also important to feel good about yourself and the decisions you make. You have to learn to care for your own body, work hard and maintain good health, and to like yourself as you are.

How comes many people reccomend fat free yogurt while trying to loose weight?
what is the best low fat and LOW SUGAR yogurt?
Answer:
Any one you like, none make you loose weight, but they can all be included in a healthy balanced diet which, accompanied by regular exercise will help weight loss.Without wishing to seem impolite Type ' weight loss ' into the search for questions box and you will see the answers to the 20 questions like yours that clutter ' Answers ' every day, together with their standard answers.Type in ' Answers swamped with weight loss questions!?' and see what regular contributors think.
I will cut and paste my stock answer, however it is interesting to see how close this is ( I have been using it for over 2 months), to a recent paper from University of California. They did a meta-analysis of all the work on weight loss over the past few years. ( summary) It showed that 2/3 of people who diet yo-yo to a higher weight, none of the faddy diets of diet pills work and that rapid weight loss doubles heart attack risk!They seemed to suggest the only hope was modest calorie reduction + EXERCISE.This is a news report of the article:
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/health/...I have to admit I have a 'stock' answer for this question, since if you look it appears 20-30 times every day!Type 'guaranteed weight loss' into google, you will find 1 1/2 million sites!Look around you if ANY of these things worked would we be getting so overweight?We are what we eat, but we are at least as much what we don't do. Calorie intakes in 1900 and 1950 were higher than they are now, we just don't use them up!Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg.Take a healthy amount of exercise 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?I have seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super diet or herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch!No fixes pal , less in more out, its the only way.
Mostly because most people are uneducated regarding nutrition. They think that less fat intake means less fat on the body, but that isn't true. Whole milk yogurt is best, perhaps Yo Baby, since it has less sugar in it but no artificial sweeteners that are bad for your health.
I have never heard of anything special about fat free yogurt when wanting to lose weight. As product companies change wherever you live I would imagine if you were looking for a good one just go to your local grocery store and find an organic 0% or 1% natural (plain) yogurt. Now on it's own the taste will be very bland so many people use plain yogurt as a base for other things like smooties, on cereal with fresh fruit, etc. I would think eating sensibly to incorporate all the food groups into your daily diet in moderation and exercise is the best way to lose weight.
Hi this is because its low in fat and is fills you up so you wont need to eat more.
I think the best low fat yoghurts are weight watchers ones, as most of them are only half a point which is good ewven when you are not counting points. But the only thing with these they arent prebiotic to really your not getting good bacteria so I tend to go for the BIO Yogurts, these are fat free and come in flavours in big tubs so you can scoop out what you want, when you want and do your self some good. I like the natural one it takes a while to get use to the taste, but I love it on shreddies, Also them lasting satisfactions ones are nice too.
I would recommend fromage fraise though as they are the fwattyesy yoghurts, also when you get them muller youghurts that are low fat, they only tell you the nutrisional value per 100gs and there is 200g per pot so your actually gettting more calories that you think, not much more, but when I was on weight watchers a standardsized low fat yoghurt is like half a point up to one and a half points, but when you get a muller yougurt you get loads so it like 2 youghurts in one equalling 2-3 points. and of course they go up the more flavour you get, like the apple pie ones and the dessert ones are more calorise and fat but not much.
Home made is the best.
i was told that fat free means more sugar? stay away from the yogart eat fruit instead ..

How come..?
I see myself differently than others?I am 5'6" and 126 pounds.
Everyone says I'm really skinny..but I don't see that..I see it like if I need to lose more weight..How can I stop that and see what others see?Only serious answers please.Thanks =0)
Answer:
Step one: Throw away any celebrity/fashion magizines that you may be reading. I promise you that they will only make you feel fat.Step two: Focus on feeling healthy. Eat healthy foods (and I don't mean stop eatting carbs or giving up desserts. I mean don't eat fast food everyday.) Eatting a good variety of foods and drinking plenty of water will make you feel healthy overall. As will a moderate amount of activity. Being toned is way better than being thin!Step three: Go shopping and find clothes that make you feel hot! Get a mani/pedi. Pamper yourself. Do things that make you feel good about yourself. You derserve it!
Stop obsessing about yourself. Go volunteer and help someone who is poor, sick or handicapped.
you got to forget about being skinny and say health is what i went.

How come this happens to me when i jog or run??
Everytime we have to run in gym class for 7 minutes, i run out of breath soo quickly and feel like i can't run anymore!! anyone know why?
Answer:
Sounds like you need some homework. In other words your level of conditioning is low. To improve you need more exercise than what you get in gym class. Start jogging or fast walking 5 days a week with the goal of increasing your total time %26 distance regularly.Now you said that your run out of breath, but do you wheeze or struggle to breathe? If so, you may need to see your doctor to be checked for exercise induced asthma. Should you have it, it is just a matter of learning how to manage it. People with EIA need a longer warm-up period before heavy exercise.
You might be trying to push yourself too hard. Running to fast for a long time will cause this. Try slowing down. You need to build up your stamina.
sounds to me like you are out of shape. i would recommend you start a regular exercise program for yourself if you are that bad. first, go to your doctor and get cleared to start a program. describe this symptom to him and make sure its not medically related. if and when you are cleared for exercise, start doing cardio 3-4x weekly at a pace that challenges you for 20-30 minutes per session.
Breathe through your nose and out through your mouth. That will get the oxygen circulating through your body.
Try to have a SMALL snack before you work-out. That will give your body some energy.
Out of shape maybe?
your out of shape...its that simple.maybe its time you started excersing on a more regular basis.
try swimming..this is great cardio!im not bragging,but im 41 years old,and i can jog 5 miles.
its more of a way of life.if you want to be in shape,you have to excersise!there is no excuse to be that winded while your still so young and in school.

How come the channels on HD tv look bad?
Okay for some reason my regular channels look like crap on my HD tv...I havent upgraded yet to HD what can i do to fix this crappiness?
Answer:
Upgrade to HD cable.
Blame the high quality of new TVs. They magnify the flaws of crappy reception.Do you have cable? channels 1 -99 are analog on most systems, not digital. If you have digital cable, 100+ are digital. Some systems are converting all channels to digital. Satellite is already 100% digital - try switching to them.If your TV has a built-in HD tuner, you can buy an HD antenna at Best Buy and get your local network channels in HD without upgrading to HD cable service.
If you don't have HD cable, having a HD tv itself will not make the picture look any better. The only way to getyour $$ worth (from buying the HD tv) is to get the HD cable. Once you do, you will definitly see the difference !

How come I've ONLY lost 2 lbs. in 3 wks.?
I've been exercising/eating right for 3 wks. now and have only lost 2 pounds. I've been eating the foods listed from the 12 Powerfoods on Prevention.com. What's going on? My schedule seems like I would lose more!
MY SCHEDULE:
Aerobics: 6 days/wk.
Yoga: 6 days/wk.
Cardio 3 days/wk.
Abs 3 days/wk.
Strength training 3 days/wk.
Answer:
You're doing fine. You're body is just taking some time adjusting to a new eating and exercise program.Remember, people who lose weight quickly usually gain it back in short order. You're doing it right.Losing weight is a matter of burning more calories than you consume. You have to have a net loss of 3,500 calories to lose one pound. That a fact. Keep up the good work and check back in six months. I bet you'll be pleased with the results.
Maybe the diet you are on is not suited for you, try eating less calories.
I've also heard that weight loss can be really slow for a few weeks or months and then it speeds up all of a sudden.
Basically your body is thinks you are going to starve it with sudden eating changes but evenutally it will realize you are giving it enough and it will get rid of the extra fat.
sufficient exercise is definetly not your problem. you might not be consuming enough calories. make sure to consume at least what your BMR requires on a daily basis
You have probably gained muscle, if you are doing lots of exercise then its better to follow your body fat loss rather than your weight.
It's not really healthy to lose more than 1-2 pounds per week. I think you are doing ok. Just stick with it. It really looks to me like you are exercising too much.
There could be a few reasons but one stands out to me from what you have said. It looks like you could be over training. It is very good to get into exercise but if you train yoga 6 times and aerobics and all the other stuff it doesn't seem to me that your body is getting any rest time. Rest time is where all the changes actually happen and if you are not allowing your body rest time then the changes just won't happen. I'm not making this up, I'm a personal trainer and this is a very common problem. You can train 6 times a week but every muscle needs at least 24 hours rest before the next workout. So you would be better off training upper body lower body on alternate days. Or you could do strength training alternated with cardiovascular, which not quite as good but another way round it. I hope this has helped and good luck with your training.
You need to detox! Clean out your system.
