hey what's going on guys so you guys probably clicked on this thumbnail because you're interested in growing taller or maybe you're just curious as to how I grew from five five to six three in two years so before I get into this video I want to share with you guys some other crazy growth sports stories like for example I've talked about Dennis Rodman in another video I think I commented that he grew from five nine to six seven within a couple of years another basketball player CJ McCollum was only 5'4 when he was playing basketball
in high school but by the time he got to college and ultimately entered the pros he became six five so growth spurts do happen there are tons of other NBA players who had crazy growth spurts David Robinson is another player who was the center he's seven foot one I believe he was average height or even short for his height when he was a teenager but then he had a crazy growth spurt before I get into this video let me tell you guys that it is possible I know there are a lot of people that don't
think it's possible to grow taller but it is possible there are a couple of things that you can do to make sure that you reach your maximum height potential I've mentioned that in some other videos it all revolves around making sure you're eating a balanced diet it's getting enough sleep doing some stretches if you're already an adult and you've stopped growing completely there are a couple of things that you can do to give yourself an inch or two inches of heights now when I was younger I wasn't necessarily tall I wasn't amongst the tallest in
my class and neither was I short I wasn't among the shortest in my class I was just sort of like average heights so there was nothing special about my heights and most people thought I was just gonna be average heights like maybe 510 my sister she's currently 511 and she's a year older than me she was growing way faster than me and that's because girls tend to grow and mature a lot faster than boys do but also you know it was obvious that she was going to be tall because she was always tall one of
the tallest amongst her peers while as for me I wasn't tall I had friends that were taller than me that I ultimately outgrew I had family members who were taller than me at the same age and I also grew them as well so for me there were a couple of things that happened that are very important and I think that you guys should know about these things because this could be what's limiting your Heights and not letting you reach your maximum high potential the first thing that happens that actually helps me increase my Height was
that I got dewormed so what that means is that I had worms in my intestine I'm not going to show you guys a picture because it's very gross but you can google stomach worms and see what that looks like I had stomach worms a tapeworm in my stomach and I didn't know about it because when you have worms in your stomach you don't know you don't feel any symptoms all you know is that you're eating a lot so you're hungry but then you're not growing you're losing weights you feel weak you feel tired because what's
happening is that the worms are actually feeding off of you and taking all the nutrients from the foods that you're eating and they're actually growing and multiplying while you yourself you're not growing and you're losing weight and all these kind of things so how do you get stomach worms and how do you know if you have stomach worms I'm gonna leave a link in description box down below so some of the symptoms that you might experience if you have stomach worms it's very important to see a doctor if you do have stomach worms because I
guarantee you a hundred percent this is definitely stunting your growth now you can get stomach worms from drinking water that might be a little bit contaminated some fruits vegetables sometimes these worms are very small and undetectable to the human eye so it's very easy to just consume it and then they ultimately start growing and living in your stomach I grew up in Nigeria where it's very possible to have stomach worms so this is one of the things that I felt stunted my growth at an early age but luckily I was able to detect it and
I took a medication to get rid of the stomach worms and it was a nasty disgusting experience I flushed it down my system and all of the stomach worms came out and it was very gross another thing that stunted my growth is that I had really bad bowlegs when I was younger and a lot of people didn't think I would be able to stand up straight or walk straight but thankfully and luckily for me my Bones actually kind of straightened out a little bit I still have a slight bow leg but it's a lot better
than it was when I was younger so of course having a straighter legs are also gonna make you stand taller and be taller compared to having a bow leg so the big question how did I get from 5'5 to 6'3 in a matter of two years so here's the thing so when I was younger I really didn't think about my Height much I didn't care about my Height I didn't know I would want to be a model and you need to be talked to be a model back then I thought modeling was only something that
women did so I just didn't really care much about my height but I started caring about my height when I noticed that a lot of girls especially the girls that I had a crush on when I was younger were more attracted to taller guys so I was like hey like I need to get taller so what I started to do is I started to research what are the things I need to do to get taller and I saw that the some of the things that you need to do to get taller was to consume a
lot of proteins and eat a balanced diets one of the easiest sources of protein that I had available to me was beans and beans is actually very nutritious and if you're a teenager this is something you guys need to add to your diet because it helps you guys grow taller some of the other foods that are very nutritious in terms of helping you guys grow taller is eating a lot of eggs eating salmon eating quinoa a lot of green leafy vegetables and berries as well these things will help you guys grow taller because they had
the necessary vitamins and nutrients to help you guys grow another thing is to try to take supplements because when I was growing up younger in Nigeria I didn't have those supplements readily available to me but luckily for you guys now it's very easy to get your hands on supplements you can get it from Amazon and whatnots I'm gonna leave some really important links in the description box down below to some of the best supplement so you guys can take to help you guys make sure you're getting a balanced diet and making sure you're reaching your
maximum high potential so anyway so I started becoming really obsessed with my Heights once I noticed that women are more attracted to taller guys I started becoming really obsessive and I was eating everything that I could to make sure I was growing making sure I was eating enough another thing that I started to do that at the time I didn't realize helped me was I started to play sports so I played soccer growing up and I also started to pick up basketball a little bit now of course when you're playing team sports one of the
first things you always do before you actually start on your physical activity is to stretch and stretching is very important for soccer because you're using your lower body a lot same with basketball stretching is very important so I was doing a lot of stretches so doing these daily stretches actually helps me grow to about 63 one thing I forgot to mention my parents aren't necessarily tall my mom she's about five five and my dad he's about 510 511 now one way to calculate your height potential if you're a guy you take the average height of
your parents and add 2 to 4 inches that's the range of your height potential now of course there are some outliers and you can still grow even 6 inches above that average Heights if you're female you subtract 2 inches from the average height of your parents and add 2 inches so you're in between that range of minus 2 inches to 2 inches plus but of course they're always outliers some people just have the DNA to just grow taller and just have a crazy growth spurt all right so what can you guys do if you're under
the age of 21 and you're interested in growing taller you definitely need to follow these tips 1 make sure you guys are getting your daily stretches I've made videos about that secondly make sure you're eating a balanced diet this is very important third should always be drinking enough water and getting enough sleep adequate sleep is one of the most important things that you guys can do for your Heights and then if you're over 21 you can still grow 1 to 2 inches by having better posture doing yoga stretches these things will help you at least
add 1 or 2 inches more to your Heights another thing that you guys can do is that you guys can wear insole shoes these insoles are like a really nice trick you can slip them into any shoes and they will give you 2 inches of height boost and that'll make you stand taller alright so that's it for this video guys I hope you guys enjoyed it drop a comment down below if you guys have more questions something you're curious about if any of these tips are working for you if you guys have noticed any kind
