The Nutrient Deficiency That Makes You Short

[@PoetiqueMs]

My dad was 6'4 and my mom was 5'7. My brother did make 6', but my sister and I were both shorter than our mom. We had a good diet while growing up, but we were all bottle fed babies, and our mom smoked while pregnant (in the 60s), and was addicted to sugar. I believe that is the explanation.

[@microsp20lect28]

You do however carry the tall genes from both of your parents and I bet your offsprings and your sister's children will no doubt in my mind be taller. Smoking suppresses cell growth and that says it all.

[@PoetiqueMs]

@microsp20lect28 You are absolutely right! All of my siblings' children are taller than their parents. Even my children are taller despite the fact that my husband's family are shorter people.

I believe genetics and life style plays a big role in growing tall. My mother is 5’3 and my father is 5’11 and I’m only 5’7 while my younger brother is 6’3. I’m in my late 30s now so it’s no longer possible for me to grow taller unless I have height surgery. What I regret when I was a kid and teenager is I didn’t eat a lot, didn’t exercise, played video games a lot not getting enough sleep. My brother on the other hand joined many sport clubs, ate and slept a lot. I wish I could go back in time and fix what I missed.

[@dbuc4671]

_"I wish I could go back in time and fix what I missed."_ this is first time I've ever seen people share this sentiment under videos on height growth, and me being 5'11 (no shoes), same honestly. im fully East Asian and while my race isn't "short" especially when compared with latinos or other asians, it kind of _is_ in the west. My dad was taller than average of my race, therefore I am taller than most asians. But i made the same mistakes u made, and because of that I COULD have been at the same height or slightly taller, like 6'1 or more, than quite a few white people. im 21 now so I _may_ have a tiny chance at growth left if I really try, but im not placing any bets.

I believe craniofacial dystrophy stunts growth as well. The pituitary gland is located in the sella turcica, which is attached to the sphenoid bone of the skull. The sphenoid articulates with 12 of the 22 bones in the skull (including the maxilla). So if you have craniofacial dystrophy it is not unreasonable to think that it could affect the pituitary gland in some way. I'm 6'1 but my dad is 6'5. I was a very stressed and hyperactive child which I'm convinced was caused by the craniofacial dystrophy, and the cranial strain from birth trauma. I also starved myself between age 17-19 to lose weight during my final growth spurt. I believe if you want to maximize growth you should follow the method of Rustam Akhmetov paired with the info in this video. Rustam went from 5'4 to 6'1 between age 15-17 by doing constant hanging, jumping, stretching, swimming, basketball and sleeping with resistance bands every night. His parents were really short , can't remember their heights but they were both under 5'3. Vitamin A is also important.

5’5” is average height for a woman, and tall brothers doesn’t mean you, as a woman, also have to also be tall - a lot of the time women with tall brothers still end up either average or short height (my mother was one of those, at around 5’4”, with 4 brothers who all look like they’re around the 6’ ft area).

As I was growing up, I played lots of sports, I drank lots of milk, but I did lack sleep. Lots of times my parents allowed me to stay up late on weekends then I wake up at 6am to watch cartoons. I did eat lots of carbs, lots of sweet, and my mom did not give me the proper vitamins. My parents immigrated from a third world country, which this country’s average height for males is like 5’7”..

When looking at the top ten countries with the lowest meat consumption, none of them have their *average* male population reach the *average* US height of 5'9". Conversely, countries in the highest end of the average height distribution (Netherlands, Montenegro, Iceland, Denmark), have a long tradition of prioritizing animal foods. Animal protein consumption and availability has generational consequences.

I think eating meat with lots of grains (white rice), I played sports but lacked enough sleep, and being under stress all the time were the factors which stunted my growth. When I started eating more veggies & doubled the amount of what I used to eat, got myself homeschooled to lessen stress from regular schooling, and sleeping more, I gained a bit of weight but grew 2 inches (still shortest tho) The ones who didn’t eat meat or anything that much, and who were also the most relaxed and laziest, were the tallest in my family.

In the Dinaric Alps region, notably Montenegro, the people are some of the tallest on Earth and compete with the Dutch for that title. When I traveled there, I noticed their diet was very rich in dairy (milk & cheese) and meat (especially lamb, but also beef and pork).

My age is 38 my height is 5'8 wish I had known this information when I was my teenage years especially in 1998 but unfortunately back then there was no KZbin and internet was just launched in India in 1995 but it was still not prevalent or very common like it is today. I wish my height was atleast 6 feet but I've learnt to live with content with what I have

I’m 36 and have had messed up guts and apparently such poor nutrition, that not only did I not grow as tall as I probably should have, but I just found out I’ve shrunk 1/4” and my bad bones are now “severe” osteoporosis… 😞

I'm 6 foot 1, didn't hit puberty until 16/17 and spent my entire childhood eating doritos, coke, and sitting on a PlayStation or desktop since I was 4. I can only imagine if I had exercised and ate well.

[@LeviathanXVer3]

I am not sure about height but I know was malnourished going up. Lots of processed, low nutrition food. It's a pretty stark difference when you compare your 20 year old self to your 30 year old self with a 50lb difference but you are still considered skinny.

I wonder why East Asians who consume so much zinc due to their heavy seafood diet are also on the shorter side? They typically don't consume a lot of diary, which could explain it. Similarly, the Dutch people, who are one of the largest consumers of dairy, are also some of the tallest people on the planet.

[@umutaymakoglu4418]

I know someone as a teenager all he had was cheese pizza and soda. He is over 6 feet tall. His father was over 6 feet tall as well. I grew up eating a very balanced Mediterranean diet, playing outside and I am 5'9". My parents were around 5'5".

my sister and I both have the same parents and grew up with poor nutrition in our very early years. I’m 5’2” and my sister is 5’9” . I think height is largely genetics . I just got the short genes while she got the tall ones - we both went hungry for many years in grade school.

Exercise fueled by protiens and carbs, as a teenager the fasting discussed on this channel does not apply in your life like it does the fat adults.

[@Heat7208]

It is a possibility, spine grows till 25. leg plates though sadly stop earlier at 18 or something but JUMPING alot to create more stress on the shins will stimulate a bit of growth for sure, though do spine stretches as that is what caught most people's eyes and that is having a tall upper body.

[@Druze_Tito]

The body grows only while laying down. So, make sure the kid is getting as much sleep as possible, and also take a b-complex supplement to improve appetite thus consume more food and get all the necessary nutrients. It is tough to make a child eat enough.

[@rockandrollmd541]

Too late for me. I have many short relatives, 3 of 4 grandparents were around 5 feet tall. I have never had much of an appetite in the mornings, would be starving by lunchtime at school. Takes me a few hours to get my motor running.

[@laames1599]

I've been 5'2 since the 6th grade. I have hypothyroidism and between ages 13-17 both of my legs had really bad shin splints due to playing soccer. My dad didn't take my shin pain serious until my mom got my doctor (when I was a senior) to do a bone scan on my shins. Both shins were really bad. Couldn't play soccer much until they healed. I feel like that caused me to lose a few inches. I'm okay with being vertical challenged though 🤗.

Sorry to hear what happened. Thanks for sharing your story here.

[@truthbeliever24]

Now, if people can understand when you get a new puppy, especially a large breed dog, they wanna feed the puppy really well and enough so they can get that big beautiful dog, healthy and string their after. If they only adopted that same concept in their own lives and restricted themselves from eating the kitchen sink like they wouldn't allow their dog. Or giving a dog chocolate because it's toxic, so most people don't. Imagine people flipping this on themselves where'd we all be today.

Impossible, there's a bone in your wrist, can't remember the name, once it's closed, during teenage, you don't grow anymore. That's what the medic told me at the time. I stopped growing at 15. I'm 30 now btw

[@alexacojo]

I think people don't get enough credit to how important certain sports are to height growth. Doing sports like basketball and swimming during your teenage years, especially high-school years, can have a huge impact on your height growth. At the same time, doring those years, you should avoid heavy consume of alcohol, strong coffee, anything that takes out the necessary calcium out of your system.

[@raineedaytinyfilms]

My daughter (15) has congenital short stature (22q11.2 deletion syndrome) I’ve tried to ALWAYS make sure she had as many nutrients & as much protein as possible .. she has made it to 4’9” naturally so far and she is an absolute seafood and shellfish junkie . I can’t imagine how tiny she’d be without proper nutrition 😳

[@srozaardnet5630]

My cousin's wife just gave birth to a girl with spina bifida. I'd b shocked if she made it as tall as 4'9. Doesn't seem to be much hope in her case. My daughter-in-law's mother is 4' 11"' and her daughter is 5'5". My brother's boys are 6'10 and 6' 11". Neither of their parents is even 6 feet. They obviously had good nutrition.

[@Debbie-henri]

My mother practically raised me on sugar. Oh wow, the sweets, the cakes, the biscuits, the fizzy drinks and ice creams. I cringe when I think of my diet back then, which started with that cursed Rose Hip Syrup (amazingly, that wretched stuff made its way back onto the UK market a few years ago. It should be banned outright, everywhere). And then there were the carbohydrates. I was addicted to bread, loved it. I can eat a whole 800g loaf on my own in a day, no marg, no butter, no sandwich fillings required at all, no problem. The meat we did have was cheap nasty stuff, pre-made pies, sausages, hot dogs, burgers. I hate all that kind of stuff. I went vegetarian at 14. My height ended up a pathetic 5ft 2". My sister is 4ft 11". Our teeth are terrible. I suffer back and joint issues. My eyes are the weakest in my family. I suspect I will go blind eventually. My cousins, every single one of them are tall, graceful, willowy beauties with white teeth, no vision problems, and sound bodies. They were not raised on high sugar diets. One of my cousins only had sugar once a year when her parents would buy her an Easter egg. She had teeth like pearls, mine look like a WW1 battlefield. Prospective parents should be properly educated on how to care for children's teeth 'before' baby turns up. I gave my son no sweet stuff when he was young (other than birthday cake) and instead of a teething ring, I bought him a baby toothbrush (which he much preferred and gave him better relief) under supervision. He is 28 now and never had a filling. He's also tall, but a little overweight on account of eating too much of the wrong thing (I'm working on it).
