Height is typically a predestined characteristic in most people.
According toMedical News Today, up to 80% of someone’s height is based on their DNA.
If you come from a tall or short family, you are more likely to be taller or shorter.
Basically, it’s the health advice you’ve likely heard several times before but not everyone follows.
Obey a nutritious diet byeating lots of fruits and veggies every day.
verify you have enough calcium to grow healthy bones as well as plenty of protein.
Get adequate exercise to strengthen bones and muscles.
One of the biggest things teens need to reach optimal height is sleep.
A growth hormone is released while you’re in certain sleep stages (viaVerywell Health).
If sleep is insufficient, a body won’t likely reach maximum growth.
TheMayo Clinicoutlines two different techniques.
(Subtract 5 inches for girls).
Then just divide by two.
(For girls, do the same at age of 18 months.)
As a general rule, men stop growing when they’re 18.
The reason is simple and it has to do with growth plates (viaHealthline).
That’s the area of the bone made of cartilage that continues to grow.
Oddly enough, there are certain states where heights differ.
All the remaining states lie somewhere in between.
