Can you grow twice as tall as an adult?

Whether or not you can grow taller twice as an adult needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis. If it is just over 18 years old adults may still grow taller, but if it is more than 25 years old adults, the possibility of secondary growth is not great. Usually reach 18 years of age is adult, 18 years of age in the end of puberty development, for the development of late crowd, epiphysis is not completely closed, generally will still grow. You can increase your nutrition by eating more milk and other foods with high calcium content, stimulate bone growth through sports such as basketball and jumping rope, and get enough sleep to help you grow taller. If you are older than 25, even if your body develops later, your epiphyses will have completely closed by then and it is generally impossible to continue to grow taller. After adulthood, if you want to continue to grow taller, you need to go to the hospital to take a picture to check the epiphyseal closure before determining, and pay attention to supplemental nutrition and appropriate exercise in normal times.
