How to Look and Grow Taller
..................................................................................................... Being the shortest one in your friends and family can be a little irritating. You know that such things as height are unluckily controlled by genes and heredity. But did you know that other factors can also play a role in determining your height? Check out how to get some height: Get Active : Exercising, particularly throughout your teenage years, clearly advances your height. Hit the gym, join a sport or, if busy, walk around at least 30 minutes a day. Balance Your Diet : A healthier fit body appears taller than a slack one. Get plenty of calcium, vitamin D, zinc and lean protein in your diet. All of which encourages bone and muscle growth. On the other hand, stay away from carbohydrates. Certain Habits Inhibit Growth : Smoking, taking drugs, drinking alcohol and using steroids have a major impact on slowing down your growth. Children exposed to any of the factors grow up shorter and in poorer health.
