Stretching cannot and will not make you taller as to be taller your bones have to grow and your bones do not stretch.
However stretching is good for posture and improving flexibility.
Tall people don't always need more sleep than short people.
However some tall people may require more sleep than short people to function properly.
In reality though the amount of sleep you need depends on your individual needs.
Tall people live on average of 2 years less than shorter people.
However most tall people live for around 75 to 85 years and sometimes longer.
Being tall does not always shorten your lifespan.
To know if you will still grow you can have an X ray of the wrist which can show if you have growth potential by showing if your growth plates are still open.
If the growth plates are still open then you will likely still grow.
The height that is short is when a person is below the height of 5 feet and 3 inches for boys and for girls if they are below 4 feet and 11 inches.
Average height in the United States for men is 5 feet 8 inches and for girls the average height is 5 feet 4 inches.
Things that can stunt your growth are lack of nutrition, not eating a proper diet, not getting enough exercise, drinking coffee when you're a kid and recurrent infections and or chronic diseases that cause poor nutrient intake and absorption or utilization.
Also if the pituitary gland doesn't make enough hormones, normal growth slows down or stops.
Kids and teens with GH deficiency grow less than 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year.
GH deficiency happens if the pituitary gland or hypothalamus is damaged or doesn't work as it should.
The sleeping position that makes you taller is the Fetal Position.
Sleeping in a sideways position means the body is able to stretch which makes you a bit taller.
The stretching during your sleep helps you increase your height.
The time of day you grow the most is when you wake up in the morning although you also grow through the night and through the entire day.
The largest body organ is the skin.
Your liver is the second largest body organ.
The organs you can live without are your appendix, one of your lungs, one of your kidneys, your spleen, gall bladder, tonsils, adenoids, and some of your lymph nodes as well as the fibula bones from each leg and six of the ribs.
The organ that humans do not need is the Appendix.
Also some non vital organs are the Reproductive organs and the Spleen as well as the Gallbladder.
The thing that never grows on the body is the eyeballs.
Also the nails and the nails and the hair also do not really grow although they appear too but they are just pushing themselves out of the body.
The fastest repairing and healing body part are the muscles as well as the tendons.
Also mouth wounds tend to heal the fastest.
The only body part that cannot repair itself is the teeth.
Repairing of teeth means they must either regrow what was lost or replace with scar tissue.
After your second set of teeth they cannot grow again or repair themselves.
Human eyeballs do grow but the human eyeballs only grow during your childhood and teen years.
However after your teens and into adulthood your eyeballs do not grow anymore although the eyeballs do change in shape sometimes.
The body parts that grows all life and till death are the ear muscles, earlobes and also the noses.
This is because they are made mostly of cartilage cells that divide more as we age.
During the same time however the connective tissues begin to weaken.
The part of the human body that does not grow from birth to death is the innermost ear ossicle and the eyeballs.
As you grow or develop the ossicle does not grow in size nor does the eyeballs.
Your legs are stronger than your arms as your legs hold up the weight of your body so they need to be much stronger than your arms.
The legs are also able to push as much as 4 times more weight than your arms can.
Legs also have a much better advantage than arms when it comes to endurance.
The strongest bone in your body is your femur which is one of the most well described bones in the human skeleton in the fields ranging from forensic medicine and clinical anatomy.
The femur is the bone of the thigh or upper hind limb, articulating at the hip and the knee.
The part of human body that does not burn in fire is the bones.
The bones will burn however but it takes a temperature of 1,292 degrees F or above and even then the bones don't turn completely to ash.
The body part that stops growing first are the hands and feet.
After the hands and arms the arms and legs then also stop growing.
As you progress through puberty your growth plates mature and then at the end of puberty the growth plates fuse and stop growing.
A good way to know if you will still grow and have growth potential is through an X Ray of your wrist.
The X Ray of your wrist is called a pediatric bone age and it shows if your growth places are still open or not.
If your growth plates are still open then you will likely still grow but if your growth plates are closed then you stop growing.
Your body knows to stop growing when the bones fuse together.
The high concentration of estrogen in human blood is what causes the growth plates of our bones to fuse.
This fusion effectively closes the growth centers of long bones and renders them unable to respond to the hormones that initiate growth.
Humans take so long to grow as the brain which is hungry for energy diverts energy from our bodies which slows down growth and leads to a long childhood and adolescence.
Humans are considered late bloomers and late growers when compared with the other primates.
Growth hormones are made in the pituitary gland, which is the most important factor for growth and growing fast.
Things that makes us grow fast are proper nutrition, plenty of sleep, exercise, water and growth hormones.
The 4 things that humans need to grow are food, water, air and exercise.
As humans we also need growth in every capacity: spiritually, intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
Development in all four areas is key to a healthy life.
The age that your body grows the most is between the ages of 12 to 15 years of age.
Growth spurts for boys is around 2 years later than the growth spurt of girls and by age 16 most boys have stopped growing although the boys muscles will continue to develop.
The fastest body part to grow is the skin.
As your body grows your skin also grows and stretches to fit your growing body.
The fattiest organ in the body is the human brain which is made of fat and not only does the fat make the brain the fattiest organ the fatty acids are also very crucial for your brains performance.
The organ that humans do not need is the Appendix.
Humans can easily live without an Appendix and a lot of people have the Appendix removed before it bursts and live just fine without it.
Other organs and body parts that you can live without are wisdom teeth, teeth, Coccyx, External Ear, Male Nipples, Arrector Pili, Plica Semilunaris.
The only body part that cannot repair itself is the teeth.
While new teeth can grow once baby teeth fall out the adult teeth cannot regrow or repair themselves once damaged and need dental work to repair and treat.
The only body part that grows back is the skin which can regenerate although the liver is also an organ and body part that can also grow back.
Other parts of the body that can grow back are fat, brain tissue, fingernails, toenails,
Regeneration means the regrowth of a damaged or missing organ part from the remaining tissue.
As adults, humans can regenerate some organs, such as the liver.
If part of the liver is lost by disease or injury, the liver grows back to its original size, though not its original shape.
