What are healthy choices to grow taller?
Isise asked:
Okay so I’m 12. Still growing, yeah I know. I’m 5 feet, exactly, and I’m pretty much the shortest person in middle school. I had my period early, and I used to be the tallest girl in grade 4. After that, others just started towering over me, and I haven’t grown much at all in the pass 2 years. I’m too young to use a gym and I don’t know what exercises to do.

Anyway, I know I should keep a nice balance, but what foods/habits would encourage height growth?

There are no foods to eat that will make you grow faster or taller. It’s all about genetics. You have another couple years to grow, and you will probably end up at 5′2″ or 5′3″. It wouldn’t hurt to start learning how to walk in platforms or heels.
Protein rich foods, fruits, veggies, vitamins, exercise to make the bones strong and give you a nice frame, maybe a taller frame. If you don’t know what kind of exercises to do try, stretching your limbs, but ask a doctor first, such as yoga to stretch, try jogging , jump roping in your room, sports like basket ball, not too much it can wear you out fast.
Avoid sugar, it stunts growth.
Eating healthy may not make you taller but you can try,
after all, in countries with poor nutrition the growth is stunted there.
Calcium found in milk and other diary products can help make your bones stonger and a but longer, but nothing can seriously help you grow a lot. I read that jumping ropes for about 15 minutes each day can make you 2-5 cm (about 1-1.5 in) taller (only if you’re still growing, of course!).
There aren’t any foods which make you grow taller or any exercises which make you grow taller.
You will get a growth spurt later on in adolescense.
seriously you will stay around that height for the rest of your life
