What are hormones? Do they have anything to do with my short height? Can it be genetically linked to my children and they can be short too?
Answers:
First of all there is nothing wrong with being short. Second genes determine how tall you are. Some people use hormones to increase their height when they are young, but this can cause some adverse affects such as depression. Even if you marry a tall person, your children can still be shorter than normal. A study was done a few months ago, and the United States average height has decreased substantially, and will continue to. One example believed to be a cause was the hormones in our food. The hormones cause our bodies to grow at an earlier time period than normal, which causes us to stop growing earlier. My suggestion is you think about how you are going to maintain a healthy lifestyle for you and your children Vs. worrying whether they are going to be tall or not.
