What things can I do to make sure that I reach my maximum height potential (plea!


Question: What things can I do to make sure that I reach my maximum height potential (please help)!?
I guess what I am asking is: what are things to make sure that I reach my maximun height!?

What foods should I eat!? What habits should I have!? What are things that I should avoid if I want to get taller one day!? Is stress a factor!? Besides genetics, what are some other things that contribute to height growth!?

I ask because recently, I have been VERY height conscious!. I walk around and see boys that are younger than me by 2+ years, but significantly taller than I am, and then I see guys my age that are taller than I am!. Its rare that I see a guy who is my age and is shorter than I am or is as tall as me!.

Im 17, and about 5' 7", and I dont see signs that I will get taller!. Id like to be at least 5' 9" - 5' 10" by the time I turn 21, could that happen!?

The more detailed answer you give, the better!. Thanks for your time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I agree with the user above, it's best to either quit or lessen your caffeine intake!. Caffeine can have an effect on those that have not completely developed, and although there is no pure evidence that caffeine can stunt growth, it is best to lessen intake!. It can cause complications!.

As for the first answer, to be quite honest, I doubt milk can increase ones height!. I'm 5'9, which is fairly tall for a female and never have I (even as a child) excessively drank milk!. For instance, I have a cousin whom is the same age as I (17), also a male, and stands about 5'5!. Not to mention he drinks milk many times, daily, and in comparison I am taller!. I doubt milk has anything to do with height, only bones!.

Genetics play a big role, so in a way you can't do much!. But, genetics are not always the actual factor leading up to an individuals height (for example, my parents are not tall, but I am- but my grandparents are tall)!.

I've heard stretching daily, exercising, and eating healthy can result in minor changes to height!. But, besides what I have mentioned, why don't you visit your doctor and have your growth plates x-rayed!? Normally, if your growth plates are closed then that is an indication that you have reached your maximum height!.

You can also post this question in the Men's Health section!.
I hope my answer has helped!. But, seriously dude, your fine!. 5'7 is nothing to worry about!.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I have heard that excessive work outs/lifting weights can stunt growth!. Posture can make an individual appear taller, as well as vertical patterns on clothing!.

No problem!. Hey, how about you use your favourite quote (or at least I believe it is) in this specfic situation!? "Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are!." - Although it may not exactly fit into this scenario, it is true!. Be glad your not shorter- hell, your taller than most females!. It's just giants like me that your not taller than! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you drink any caffeine then stop! caffeine causes the bones to weaken using up all of the calcium you ingest!.!.!. its why old people get shorterWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm 5'4" and done growing, so be grateful for what you have!. You are still taller than most girls with high heels on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

drink a lot of milkWww@Answer-Health@Com

just eat healthy i suppose!. but genetics plays a VERY big part!. depends on how tall your parents are!. are they close to 5'10" or 5'9"!? if not then you probably wont grow any taller!. it also depends on who you take after!. i take after my mom and shes 5'2" which means im 5'2" and going to be for the rest of my life unless they find a miracle grow for humans!. i WAS a senior (recently graduated, yay) and there were people mistaking me for a freshman AND to top it all off, there were FRESHMAN that were taller than me by like 10"!. jk, maybe by about 5"-6"!. be happy you're 5'7" and NOT 5'2"!. my YOUNGER sister is taller than i am!.

anyway i dont really know how to make your self taller!. i dont think it matters what you do you're probably not going to get taller!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
