2% milk helps you grow?!


Question: 2% milk helps you grow!?
My friend (I am veryyy gullible, but she is smart) and me were talking about how short I am (17 and 5'3) and how I'll never grow any taller than that!. But she mentioned that something in 2% milk helps you grow as fatty as it is!. That was last year!. And I have actually grown an inch in the past month!. Is what she said true or is this just some anatomical phenomenon!? Ha!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Totally crap!. I'm 29, and 5'5"
During my growing up years, i must have been under 5 feet!.
I was doing a lot of researching about growth, growth spurts!. and things like that!.

The thing with the milk, the info is a bit inaccurate!.
What milk does is it provides vitamin D, which is helpful for bones!.!.!.!. your bones are what grow to make you taller!.
So, I would guess that drinking milk 'could' help your height, but probably doesn't!.!.!.!. also, once you stop growing that's it, you're done growing!.!.!. no drinkin milk or anything else will make you taller!.!.!.!. but at age 17, you still have a bit more of height to get!.!.!. maybe a half a inch!.

The key is not to smoke, drink coffee, or do things that stunt growth!. Or, start your child from the beginning and focus on feeding them what they'll need for help!.

One more thing!.!.!. A doctor can take an XRay of your hand and tell you if you have more growing to do, or your height is final!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not drinking milk will affect your bones because you need calcium for strong bones and teeth!. The 2% is just less fat in the milk and I always gave my children 2% and they are fine!. They all had problems with spitting up the whole milk because of too much fat in it!. The sun has Vitamin D which is in milk too!. If you are worried, then take Calcium with Vitamin D caplets to make sure you are getting enough!. You could still grow some yet but heredity plays a big factor in your height!. 5'3" isn't that short at all, especially for females!.
Whole milk has more fat in it and cream has even more!. I believe you grew because you had a growth spurt and that is all!. You should drink milk though !. It's true that it will make for stronger bones and it isn't an anatomical phenomenon!.
I am 4'11" and the shortest in my family and female!. It doesn't bother me at all!. My tallest sister is 5'3" and we come from a background of short people!.!.!.!.!.but my brain is big!
Take your vitamins and exercise to keep your muscles in your back in good shape, that in turn , helps keep you standing tall because it helps keep your spine straight!.!.!.!.!.which can make you taller!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hope I knew this when I was 9!. I am very short!. And yes, I hate milk while growing up and doesn't drink it on regular basis!. I hope that I can be like you and grow a little bit taller from drinking milk!.
