    You're gentically predisposed to grow a certain height. The only things that affect this is your diet. You need a healthy balanced diet that includes meat and dairy if you are going to grow to your full potential.

    Exercise regularly and remember not to over-do anything. Everything in moderation.

    You have scientific proof, Nuovo?

    Height, size, hair colour and a whole bunch of other characteristics do not always come from your parents. I would bet that you have family who are not all short.

    By family I mean grandparents, uncles, great grandparents etc.

    Secret, who told you meat was not good for you? Whoever it was is lying through their teeth, probably because they're an animal crusader and a member of Green Peace or something. If you are unsure and doubtful (as you should be) then look it up for yourself on a site that is non-partisan about vegetarianism. To keep it non-partisan I won't give you an address but encourage you to look for it yourself.

    We are, as a species ominvores and our digestive systems, from our teeth to our intestines are designed to cope with meat. I would avoid that processed crap and find a good butcher in your area.

    Meat should only make up about 10% of your meal.

    Exercise, good diet, lots of rest and stretching exercises are good, they help you grow. There are some exercises you can do to help stretch the, um, ligaments, I think, in your hips, that help you grow.

    No apology required, Nuovo, but what has it got to do with genetics?!

    Geneticists are rarely government funded, it's nearly all private. And why would the government subvert information about what makes us blonde, blue eyed, ginger tall or short?

    well thank you all for the advises!!..i really appreceat it!!..

    aniwayZ what does "ligaments" means?

  • Truest Lies

    Ligaments are the things that tie the muscle and the bones together. You have them in all joints. Haven't you ever heard of "torn ligaments?"

    Anyway, one exercise is to lie flat on your back on the floor, and to cross one leg on top of the other, and straighten both legs until you feel a faint stretch in your hip ligaments. Repeat a few times on each leg, don't overdo it. This can help you to stretch the ligaments and muscles in your hips, and after a period, to grow taller. It doesn't matter if you are over twenty years old, you can still grow.

    ^^I also do not want to be any taller. I'm already pretty tall, and I could end up 6 foot, like my sister, and trust me, when you live in a country where everyone is a midget, it can get really uncomfortable to be so tall.
    Especially in dancing, where you are forever placed at the back.
