i know by injecting human growth hormone can, but is illegal in malaysia, so there must be something that is legal is malaysia but did the same result, anything is possible with science, haha

haha, i'm not till that level of desperation...

actually if it is available in malaysia i will go do, but since not, then i accept my fade lo, since my dad 168, my mom 155, nothing much i can grow already

Study well, get a good job, earn lot of money, then you can choose to go oversea to have the injection... i bet it costs whole lot of money.....

till then already too late, lol, growth plate close liao, still better study well, get a good job, earn lot of money, and buy giraffe shoe

I believe if there's a will, there's a hope.....

This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Feb 14 2012, 04:16 PM

its kinda heavy, the giraffe shoe, not really good for ankle and foot, so i wouldnt think i will buy the tall tall 1, maybe i'll buy the 5cm one, or less

but theres no good design for teenager, and its unhealthy to wear it so frequent

found this on youtube.. lol..

Who is kidding?

I used to jump and try to touch the ceiling when I was younger, it works. Do it every day and jump like 10 times.

I read somewhere before, jumping do helps... seriously 10 times a day? i heard at least 100 times...
but i doubt asking someone to pull... haha~

Wei wei.. In ancient times, I think they do. Stretching does help. A different word perhaps.

I know stretching exercises do help... but pulling... ouch, painful leh...

Enough of spreading speculative nonsense~

Stretching exercise 'might' help if you are still growing (children -> late teen)...
It will NOT help you after that - simply because - after you have attained adulthood -> your bones have become permanently fused and will NO LONGER grow.

A child's bone (say a thigh bone) - have an active growing component in it called the Epiphyseal plate (growth plate for bone) this permits the growth of child (it is however is highly influenced by genetics, nutrition and hormones).

After reaching adulthood this plate become FUSED and stops growing - hence adult no longer can become taller by natural means~

Here study this and you will understand:

and this:



The ONLY way for you to get taller is by breaking your legs via Illizarov technique (done by orthopedic surgeons)....~
Go find out what it is...~

Eat long beans!.....ok, lol just had to say it. Used to be my Dad's standard joke when people asked about my height.

Making sure that your muscles aren't all tight and that your keep your ligaments stretched helps..Which basically means, stretch regularly to ensure that you do not grow shorter!
