The most accurate scientific answers to the most intriguing questions about height and increasing height. Very often people from different countries in the world ask us some most intriguing questions about height and increasing height. After years' intensive research, we finally obtained the most accurate scientific answers to all of these most intriguing questions.



Question: Does early sex or masturbation stunt growth?

Answer: No, in general early sexual behaviors like sex and masturbation will not stunt your growth. Your DNA and growth hormone are more responsible for your height, not your sex hormone. In other words, if we inject lots of sex hormone into a boy whose parents are very tall, he is still going to grow very tall because his tall genes is more important than the presence of sex hormone. So basically we do not think sex hormone has much to do with your height at all. This is based on some facts. For example: do most tall guys never had sexual behaviors (sex or masturbation) until they think they are tall enough? Of course not! If early sexual behaviors stunt growth, then we will see many more short guys because statistics show that over 90% boys in U.S. have bad sex or masturbation before 18. Another fact, think about this: a lot of 6 or 7 feet tall guys' bone plates are not closed until they are 25 or even early 30s. But their sex organs must have been matured by 18 and you bet they get more chance to have sexual behaviors than short guys. How are you going to explain these tall guys' bone plates remain open long after they started to have sexual behaviors? Therefore, early sexual behaviors have little to do with your height, the dominant factors (besides your DNA) are growth hormone, metabolism and certain outside stimulations. The following information can help you better understand Kimi.



Question: Does weight lifting/ training stunt growth?

Answer: Generally speaking, weightlifting will not prevent you from growing taller. Some people think that weightlifting will impede the process of growing taller, this is actually not true. Go to any gym, you will see lots of "big" buys who are lifting hundreds of pounds but they are all over 6'. Do you see those fitness stars on the TV? Aren't they tall and strong enough to impress you? Yet almost every one of them lift a lot of weight in order to build up their bodies. Any kind of active exercises, including weightlifting, will only help you grow even taller, because exercises can dramatically increase the rate of your metabolism, carrying oxygen, nutrition and the increasing growth hormone to the bones much faster. Weightlifting could harm your height if and only if you lift weight in the wrong way so it causes some injuries to your spine column and other bones. But this usually only happens to someone who are new to weight. If you have get used to weightlifting and know the right way to do it, there is no need to worry at all. For the most you just need to consult your coach or other professional athlete the exactly right way to do weightlifting.



Question: Why is the average height of Asian people shorter than that of the American and European people?

Answer: Asian people are shorter mostly because of their diet is not suitable for growing taller. Asian people's diet is mainly consisted of carbohydrates. You need to eat protein and vitamin rich food in order to grow.



Question: What is growth plate (bone plate), anyway?

Answer: Growth plate is the cartilage portion at the end of your bones in your legs, which is responsible for your bones to grow longer. When you are young your growth plate can constantly grow and turn into new bones, and then grow again, thus you can naturally grow taller. But when you pass your puberty your growth plate will slow down on generating new bones and eventually stop growing after 30s.

Question: When will growth plate close? Can I still grow taller after my growth plate is closed?

Answers: Males' growth plates will not be completely closed until 25 to early 30s. Females' growth plates will not be completely closed until 21 to 25. You can still grow taller after your growth plate is closes.


Question: If both my parents are short, can I still grow taller?

Yes, you can still grow taller even if both of your parents are short. This is because:

If your grandparents or even grand-grandparents are tall, you may still receive their tall genes and have the potential to grow much taller than your parents. This explains that why some children can grow much taller than both of their parents but others can not. The tall children may receive tall genes from their grandparents or ancestors and the short children do not. How? Pure luck based on mathematical probability! Can you be sure you do not have tall genes just because your parents are short? Of course not! Your parents maybe both "unlucky" to miss the tall genes from your ancestors, but this actually give you more chance to receive those tall genes since the probability of missing a certain trait for two or more generations consecutively is very small (only 1/4 for two generations and 1/8 for three generations, and 1/16 for four generations). So you had better check all of your ancestors (at least 3 or 4 levels up) before you conclude "I am from a short family". Actually there is a scientific formula which can calculate your maximum natural height based on your parents' and grandparents' height. As soon as you get the formula and apply it to your case, there is a 95% chance that you will find your DNA actually allows you to grow much taller than you thought. (formula posted in the other post(99% certianity,is it true?))

I GOTTA STOP EATING RICE!!!

Hey i'm like u lakuran, i eat rice too, but what if i eat that with meat and chicken cause i eat a lot of those also. And every week i eat like good amount of vegetables. So is this good?

I dunt think that you should stop eating rice....i like rice myslef and i eat it everyday...theres always atleast a single advantages to everything in the world and outside that exists....so maybe you eating rice makes your motabilsm sp??....am just saying it as an example....wat you need to do is eat stuf tat contains vitamins/minerals etc that should go along with other food!..

Peace

Hi. I have a question. They say asian people are short but people from some parts of china, like shanghai? i dunno, are really tall! I dunno why this is cos they eat rice too right? Like people from all parts of china. Do they have a special diet or something, maybe there's something in the water that makes them grow? LOL Thanks to anyone who can answer this question.

I have not noticed that Shanghai people are tall. If they are taller it's most likely because Shanghai has a higher living standard than most of the U.S. and they have much better nutritution and health care than rest of China.

Most ppl in china are disciplined in shanghai and other parts, they train alot, and they have underground fighting zones, which i have visited, Those guys are big too, their fighting styles are like you never seen before!

the diet of chinese in the north is traditionally different from those in the south, they eat quite a lot of bean or soy bean products and drinks which contain a lot of protein

Well first of all the living standards are increasing dramatically over there... Some ppl also say that it's due to impure water they drink..

As you know, in Shanghai, ppl have to buy purified water or if you are like most ppl, you boil your tap water before you drink it.. Simply because, in the water there may be lots of impurities...

Now, perhaps there are stuff in the water (e.g. magnesium, calcium compounds..etc) which are enhancing growth..

ORR... Most parents in Shanghai buy these so called "scam" growth supplements.. Perhaps these supplements are not scams after all...

No wonder......hmm

about masterbation

reads this is it true?
http://camweb.org/bbs/medicine/index.cgi?read=990

I masterbaited alot when i was little (6 years old) i learned to masterbait lol... my brother taught me how and my parents let me watch porno all day if i wanted lol cause they bought the porno lol

To KenFo
Damn you got a corrupted family lol (just kidding bro)

Hey, so how tall are you now? and what is your parents' height?

no wonder you're so damn screwed up kenfo

Can you give details??

It pisses me off as I was 177cm then. I am in my 30s now but most people think I'm 22-25 years old.

Can I still have actual bone growth(other than just increasing my height through stretching,etc--which is probably temporary)??

although i don't believe that masturbation can prevent you from reaching your maximum height, it might be true.

I know of this 14 year old guy called Derek Lai who jerks off daily.(he once jerked off 12 times in one day, maybe even more) and, he's really short, about 5"1!

Now, i'm not a scientist , but if i'm right, growth hormones are totally different from from the stuff that comes out of your privates. However, testosterone , the stuff in your (you know what), is responsible for male puberty (if i'm right), which IS responsible for height growth in male teens. i don't know, some crazy scientist is gonna say i'm wrong and blah, blah, blah etc.

i'm asian, but i'm glad i hate rice.

JMT you got skills man.

I dun think eating rice affects your growth in height. I am a Chinese and i am 17 years old now. Currently, my height is 1.77m tall. I do drink milk daily and also eat alot of vegetables and fruits. Both my parents are shorter than me. My father was like 1.67m and my mother was about 1.53m tall.

Can we actually get a full estimate on average age for closure of growth plates cos most doctors and web site with health professionals say from 15 - 18 in males but you are saying 25-30, which is rightm what are the sources?

hllhkhl

Just to clarify : eating rice and chinese food does not make you shorter. The foods Americans eat are more likely to be even less in nutritional value. But what makes them taller than Chinese or Asians in general I don't know. I think its in the standard of living, the genes and the high amount of meat and milk and potato they take?

bump!

bumperama!
