Would You Like To Grow In Height .

I am 19 and my height is 5.4 feet. I would like to grow up to 6 feet. What should I do?

Height depends on nutrition intake and the height of your parents and grandparents also, but in science there are always exceptions.All you can do is eat lots of protein and probably consult an endocrinologist, they might be able to help you and give you advice and prescribe medicine/dietary supplements but you are old, do not have much expectations.Also I am not really sure but a doctor once told me that being overweight has a lot to do with height increase so if that's one of the factors in your case try to lose weight and have a balanced diet.

I am 23 and my height is 5.3 feet. I would like to grow up to 5.8. What should I do?

Face the reality that you’re never going to reach 5′8″ or even 5′4″. Here’s a chart showing height by age. Notice two things: First, almost all the growth is over by age 20. At 23, you’re not going to grow any more. And while I don’t know your nationality or genetic makeup (the chart below is based on heights in the United States), you’re short and you’re going to stay that way.Still, you can accomplish plenty even though you’re short. My son is somewhere between 5′2″ and 5′3″. He’s also an MMA fighter (with a 5–1 record), a college grad, a martial arts instructor, and more. And, if it matters, he’s got women chasing him. If you’re healthy, be thankful for your health. Height becomes insignificant.The picture below shows him after winning an MMA fight. Note that he’s standing on his toes (after the announcer had made some light-hearted remark about his height), and he’s still much shorter than the ring girls. The audience loved it. His height doesn’t bother him. Yours shouldn’t bother you.

Do sit-ups and push-ups stunt height growth?

Absolutely NOT. No form of excercise ''stunt'' growth, so to speak. However, there is a problem with the excercises you have mentioned. Think about what you do when you do push ups and sit ups. In the former, you push your body up, that is, you essentially PUSH against a resistance. If you keep doing push ups ONLY, without working you back muscles, eventually the upper front part of your body becomes stronger than your back muscles, leading to what is known as Thoracic Kyphosis, i.e. your weak back muscles are unable to stabilise your strong mirror muscles, and your shoulders get pulled forward, leading to the dreaded, rounded shoulder look.The deal with sit ups is kind of same. They strengthen your abdominal muscles, while your lower back remains weak, leading to lumbar kyphosis. All this MIGHT give you a stunted ''look'', but they don't really stunt your growth.I am taking nothing away from these excercises, ut if you are keen on doing these, be sure to add some chin ups, maybe even deadlifts, to keep your back strong and balance things out.
