How can you shrink your height?

Answer 1

The height of a person is primarily determined by bone structure and is not easilly reduced. A person's height will reduce slightly as the discs between the spinal vertebrae become thinner with age. In addition, people with osteoporosis appear to shrink in height, but that appearance is due to the bending of the spine, producing the characteristic "hump" high on the back. For a fully grown person, the only way to reduce height is surgical removal of bone. This sometimes happens with severely injured legs, or as a result of hip replacement surgery. If you really think there is something wrong with your height, talk to you doctor right away. Preventing growth is often easier than reversing it. Some serious medical conditions can cause excessive growth.

Answer 2

The advice given below to stop eating anything with calcium is very unhealthy advice. Your teeth and bones need calcium to be healthy. You can develop a calcium deficiency and lose all your teeth and start getting broken bones frequently if you stop eating foods containing calcium. Calcium is also very important to help your heart to contract. If you quit eating any calcium you may have a heart attack, even if you are a child. It is MUCH safer to just accept your height.

1. stop drinking or eating anything with CALCIUM

2. lift weights above the head and do squats and other exersises on a daily basis

3. Do not eat fast food, red meat, or anything that is genetically modified ... eat more fish and seafood

4. drink A LOT of soda and drinks with caffiene, ( drink tons of Nestea, Diet Coke, tea, coffee, energy drinks

5. exerise A LOT and play various sports

6. still stand up straight or you will devolop a hunch in your back like me :(

7. Use bean bag weights (iunno what its called) with a strap attached to your ankles, walk around and exerise in them,, try treadmillin' with them on,, but don't let them fall off !

I'm 6 feet tall. i have shrunk 4 inches. i skinny though. hate it. every1 in the family is 5'4 on average. i feel like a giant... i have grown 12 inches since grade 8, i am now in grade 11, age : 17... both my parents are short. my mom 4'9 and my dad is 5'6. i feel that the reason for my height is drinking too much milk, and eating too much fast food and red meat. If you stay off this at a younger age than 17 and you know that you dont want to be as tall as me, than follow these 7 rules... they really work but make sure that you keep your posture....

Yea um i wanted too know how long do you have to do this for and how much weight do you need to use to do squats and other weight lifting exercises?

Answer 3

I'm not sure about ways to get shorter in height. I've heard of crouching down, laying on a tub filled with ice water, eating a lot of ice cream and eating a lot of candy worms. I can't say for sure those methods work. I myself is looking for ways to get shorter. I know how it feels to be the tallest in my family, it's terrible.

Answer 4

Yes, you can. They are several ways to do so:

• loosing 4 kilograms in weight will result in a loss of half an inch in height.
• risky - intake less calcium, which will result in the collapsing of your skeleton shrinking you. This is if you want to be decreased in height that badly.

And you can stop your growth:

• drinking too much caffeine will stop your growth too ... :)
