Question:
Diet, will it affect my height?
I am 16 years old and i just started diet. I am 80 kg and my height is 169 cm. i eat special k cornflakes with skimmed milk in the morning then in lunch the food my mum makes, between lunch and dinner i eat a fruit with some skimmed yogurt and in night 2 sandwiches with skimmed ham and skimmed cheese and black bread. Will this affect my height positively or negativly because i want to loose kg and gain height. Thank you.
Answers:
no... Sadly you will not gain height by eating right, it does seem like the best result but your height comes as a result to you genetic make up, you x and y chromosomes, and if you thyroid gland is working properly. At 16 years old you may bet taller until you are about 21 and then you will most likely be the tallest that you are going to get, that is a good diet though good lucky with that stay strong!! :-)
