I was wondering if anybody knew the
relation to exercise and height.
I've researched the topic a little but am
still confused.
I was inquiring of a method to increase
height, or if that's even possible.
I'm male and just turned 21.

To my knowledge there is no connection.
Height is based on genetics, your body's
production of growth hormones and proper
nutrition (malnurished children can have
stunted growth). Some types of exercises
may claim to make you taller, but all they
really do is strengthen your back or
stretch your back giving you better
posture and thus you may seem taller.

this is pretty much exactly on. There is
no way any excercise can you make you
taller. If you think about it for a
minute and use commen sense its absoulutly
rediculous. Height is based on genetics.
Your not going to make yourself taller or
shorter by excercising, you will make
yourself stronger, and healthier. Your as
tall as your going to be, your not going
to be able to change it so you gonna have
to deal with it if you dont like your
height for some reason.

Darlin,love yourself for who you are,not
what you are!!!Make your mind your most
prominent muscle and you will go very far
in life!Some very powerful and successful
men were not tall.Being less than
statuesque is only a problem if you think
it is!!In my mind,i'm 5'10",in reality,i'm
5'3".I often forget that am not
tall,because I don't dwell on it.Good luck
to you!Patty

If you improve your posture you will "walk
tall" so even if you are not actually
taller you will seem so. Also, stretching
exercises will loosen up your spine so you
will reach your actual height (i'm 5'3"
when I am fully stretched, but I kind of
'shrink' when i'm just hanging around.
Lastly, be sure to drink enough water!
The pads between your vertebrae can
shrivel up if you become too dehydrate
(happened to me in the hospital ~ I was
down to 5'1"!)

What about those body bulilder people who
started exercising too early and stunted
their growth?

Actually if your growth plates are still
opened(they might be open in some case up
to late 20's) you should look into ways to
increase your growth hormones production,
they can effective help you grow taller,
according to this website
http://www.Hgh123.Com you can increase
your growth hormones level either
naturally or articially...My advice is
stick to the natural way.
