There are many factors that affect your height during your teen years, such as diet and activity level.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: To be higher

   Eat a balanced diet. One looks shorter with a round body. Not only that, but the slim figure thanks to proper eating will help you look taller and feel happier!
   • Eat a variety of lean proteins. Lean proteins like poultry, fish, soybeans and milk help promote muscle growth and build strong bones. Avoid simple carbohydrates like pizza, cakes, sweets, and soda.
   • Eat plenty of calcium.Calcium in green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale, and in milk (yogurt and drinking milk), helps strengthen bones.
   • Eat enough zinc. Although so far inconclusive, reports have shown that there may be a link between zinc deficiency and growth retardation in boys. Excellent sources of zinc are oysters, wheat germ, pumpkin and pumpkin seeds, lamb, peanuts, and crab.
   • Get enough vitamin D. Vitamin D helps develop bones and muscles in children, and a vitamin D deficiency has been shown to cause growth retardation and weight gain in teenage girls. Foods with relatively high levels of vitamin D are fish, alfalfa, mushrooms, as well as vitamin D fortified foods like milk and breakfast cereals. However, most vitamin D sources are absorbed through sun exposure. Just 15 minutes of sunbathing a day to get all the vitamin D you need.

2. 

   
   
   Exercise during teenage and puberty. Regular exercise can help you get taller during your teenage years. Get out and train your muscles for at least 30 minutes a day.
   • Take a gym class. Joining the gym class you can get access to a variety of exercise machines and increase muscle mass. You also have the motivation to exercise (you will feel like an idiot if you're at the gym without practicing at all).
   • Join a sports team. Participants in sports teams can use their instinctive competitive spirit to burn calories and have the hope of making themselves taller. The great thing about being on a sports team is that half the time you don't even realize you're training.
   • If you can't do anything else, you should walk. If you don't have time to do anything, get up and walk. Walk to the department store. Walk to the library. Walk to school.

3. 

   
   
   Get enough sleep each night. Sleep is an ideal time for your body to grow, so getting enough sleep will give your body more time to grow. Get 9 to 11 hours of sleep each night if you are a teenager or under 20.
   • Growth hormone (HGH) is produced naturally in our bodies, especially during deep sleep or slow wave sleep. Good sleep stimulates HGH production in the pituitary gland.

4. 

   
   
   Be aware that most of the height is determined by genetics. Scientists believe that up to 60 to 80% of your height is due to a predetermined genetics. Unfortunately, not everyone is genetically high. But that doesn't mean you can't be tall if your parents are short; but if your parents are short you tend to be low too.

5. 

   Try not to hold back your growth. There is not much you can do to increase your height, but there are steps you can take to ensure that your natural height will not be constrained by environmental influences. Both stimulants and alcoholic beverages contribute to growth retardation if you consume it while growing up; Moreover, malnutrition also prevents you from reaching maximum height.
   • Does caffeine really inhibit your growth? Scientific research has shown that, at all, caffeine does not inhibit body growth. However, caffeine can make it difficult for you to get proper and restful sleep. Children and young adults need 9-10 hours of sleep, and caffeine can make it difficult for you to get that much sleep.
   • Does smoking inhibit growth? The effects of smoking and passive smoking on body mass index (BMI) have not been proven. According to the Columbia University Health Information Sources, "Although the studies that have been done are inconclusive, current studies have shown that children who smoke or passively smoke will lower than those who do not smoke or inhale secondhand smoke. "
   • Do steroids have height restriction? Certainly yes. Anabolic steroids inhibit bone growth in children and adolescents, along with decreased sperm count, female breast size, high blood pressure and increased risk of heart attack. Children and teenagers with asthma and using an inhaler containing very small doses of the steroid budesonide have an average height of 1.3 cm lower than those not treated with steroids.

6. 

   The time to stop growing big is the age of twenty. Many young children look at themselves and wonder, "Have I grown up yet?" If you are under 18, the answer is probably "No!" You still haven't stopped growing if you haven't passed puberty yet. Feel lucky that you still have time to grow instead of worrying about how tall you will be. advertisement
