I’m a medical student so according to what we were taught, the epiphyseal growth plates at the end of your long bones are pre-determined by your genetics. Now that isn’t to say that nutrition doesn’t impact height and growth. People in impoverished countries are malnourished and that could stall their growth. However, since you live in the United States, a developed country, it’s unlikely you are malnourished so a physician will tell you that won’t be able to increase your height through eating foods
If you are still in your prebuscent or puberty period, you can be prescribed human growth hormone which can allow you to grow taller; this concept is supported by the medical community. An endocrinologist usually handles these types of cases.
From a homeopathic point of view, I do believe that certain foods particularly animal protein (meat, dairy) in large quantities during childhood and puberty can make one grow taller particularly beef. My parents were both 5’3 and I consumed a lot of beef and grew to over 5’11. However, that could be explained by a lot of factors aside from diet. My parents may have been malnourished since they grew up in a third world country and were not exposed to the level of protein that Americans are given. And it could simply be due to probability factors that enabled me to grow tall; my dad’s brother was tall and the relatives on dad’s mothers’ side of the family are all tall as well.
yoga.. stretchin
Well, after all genes are a big deal. If our grandparents are tall you might be tall. Being short isn’t all that bad. It’s not like youll be super tall and everyone stares at you. Talk to your doctor about it.
drink milk and eat vegetables……it’s the best for ur bones
eat your vegi’s
There is nothing that will make you grow taller or do it fast.
You are stuck with the genes your parents gave you.
Wait and see how tall you get after puberty.
if you are only 12 yrs old you still have a couple more years to grow. if you dont grow there are tons of shoes out there that will give you a couple more inches. how tall you grow is usually based on genetics unless if something happens that stunts your grown such as drugs or brain damage. Sometimes people grow taller than their parents so there is always a change. GL
You can’t make yourself grow any taller then you will grow naturally.
Stilettos, baby.
The best thing you can do is take a multi-vitamin and live a healthy lifestyle to make sure you grow to your full potential.
your parents are short you most likely will be short. check out the height of everyone else in your family. But you cant physically make yourself taller. Sorry babe.
