What can help me grow taller?!


Question: I'm 16 and my height is about 174 cm (about 5'8") I really want to grow taller because I feel like I am very short and I think that I will look better if I were taller. I drink soy milk everyday. Does soy milk contain less calcium than dairy milk? What exercise routines could you suggest for me to grow a bit taller?

Plenty of protein, calcium and zinc will ensure normal growth and a deficiency can stunt it.

Unfortunately you can't grow any faster than normal, no matter what you do.

One thing that you must do immediately is to terminate your consumption of soy milk or take a zinc supplement every day because soy milk depletes your zinc levels by up to 50% due to the high content of phytic acid and phytates that hinder the absorption of zinc and a zinc deficiency can stunt your growth.

Some kids in Asia who thrived on soy milk have grown into short adults.

The calcium content in calcium fortified soy milk is about the same as in cow's milk.

You will probably grow for another 2 years to peak at 5'10 as long as you get enough zinc.
