What do you think about this?
I am 20 years old and stand at 6ft. My dad was 5'10 1/2 and my was mum 5'2 but is there anyway I can grow to 6ft4? I have started to do stretching exercises and drink loads of milk but I really would like to grow to 6'4 because it would be really awsome being that tall.
Anyway l can grow taller by lifestyle factors such as diet or exercise?
I am one of the few people in my family to reach 6ft with the exception of 2 distant 6ft4 cousins

It all depends on genetics. I don't think that doing exercises or having a healthier diet would help at all (unless you are still going through puberty). It would surely make you really healthy, but that's like asking if I could make my member grow by masturbating all the time. You said you are 20 years old, and probably out of puberty, so I'll say that drinking lots of milk or doing stretching exercises wouldn't help. Besides most men stop growing around the age of 19. So if you are like most men, you're out of luck. Unless you are a late bloomer than you would probably grow a bit more.
Sorry...you might reach 6' 0 1/2" to 6'1" if you have a late growth spurt. But my opinion is that you've probably gotten as tall as you're gonna get. A height gain of 4 inches is hoping for a miracle.
It's interesting that sons are on the whole growing to be taller than their fathers. Maybe there were distant ancestors on your family tree who were tall, and the genes for 'tallness' in your family are no longer recessive but dominant. Maybe your sons will be taller than you someday when you have children of your own.

I am taller than my parents, and they were taller than theirs.
jeez. Trust me, you don't wanna be that tall. My brother is 6ft 6. And although i'm the oldest sibling in my family, i'm only 5ft 9. But i love laughing at him when he smacks his head on things.
i guess you stopped growing :S:S but maybe holding on a bar fix for about 5 mins each day might help!! at least that's what my sports teacher says:P
Since you're 20, I would guess you are done growing. You are a good height now anyhow though. Be happy.
