Answer 1

YES AND NO, BEFORE PUBERTY AND DURING, (WHEN YOUR GETTING READY AND WHEN YOU GROW) MILK WILL HELP KEEP YOUR BONES HEALTHY SO THAT THEY CAN GROW. BUT YOU CAN DRINK ALL THE MILK IN THE WORLD AND IF ITS IN YOUR GENES TO BE ONLY 5 FOOT THEN 5 FOOT YOU'LL BE. MILK MORE IN LESS, BECAUSE OF THE CALCIUM KEEPS YOUR BONES STRONG.

Answer 2

Yes...
Height is imposing and in a sense it spells confidence, so it is no wonder that people all over the world invest in options that help to increase their height. It has often been stated that adults stop growing after a certain period. New research now says that it is the thigh, shin and other bones that contribute to height, but also the spinal column. Elongation of the discs in the column helps you to grow taller.
The spinal column has discs that are capable of growth. The pituitary gland in our body produces the necessary growth hormones. When the quantity produced is increased, it encourages the discal portion of the spinal column to grow and hence the spine itself is elongated. This is possible even after the fusion of bones has taken place and ossification sets in. A rigorous exercise program will elongate the spinal column structurally, and also straighten a spine which is curved. It also contributes to good posture that means you are always sitting and standing tall. Proper bending and lifting will ensure that the discs are not compressed or put under pressure. This contributes to height. Reflexology therapy helps the body to maintain equilibrium and creates a healthy balance.

By ensuring that the right quantity of vitamins and minerals go into your system and by consuming the right foods which enhance growth, growing tall is not as difficult as it seems to be. Proteins, fibers, vitamins and foods like fruits, vegetables, and milk contribute to physical well being and growth. There are certain growth hormones which are given to children as essential supplements to compensate for slow bone growth. Called somatotrophin, it also is a fantastic anti aging therapy. Somatrophs are essentially a protein hormones consisting of 191 amino acids and are naturally produced in the pituitary gland. During adolescence, the quantity produced increases and growth of bone, muscle, and cell is accelerated. On attaining adulthood, the level of this hormone falls and growth is decelerated.

Answer 3

Genetics determines your height.

Milk makes your bones porous. Milk, meat and eggs cause osteoporosis.

When lots of protein is being digested, it becomes acidic. The body must neutralize this acid. The way it does so is by sapping the calcium from bones to neutralize this acid. Ingesting lots of protein does this, and milk is one of the foods that does it.

"Milk, it does a body good" is just a marketing slogan that has nothing to do with nutrition, and everything to do with getting people to buy more milk. Dollars and cents, that's it.

Milk... it does a body bad. If you want strong bones, stop consuming dairy, eggs, and meat. Protein is found in all foods, not just animal foods. We need 4-9% of our caloric intake to come from protein, so plant foods are more than enough when it comes to getting enough protein.

The standard American diet has too much fat and protein, hands down. That's why we're the world's leader in cases of osteoporosis, and countries where they eat far less protein (including dairy), have few cases of osteoporosis.

Btw, a plant based diet has plenty of calcium. We don't have a problem in getting calcium, the problem is in keeping it. It's impossible to keep while eating a meat based diet, but easy to keep while eating a plant based diet. Eat dark leafy greens, beans, nuts seeds, and juices fortified with calcium. Voila, plenny calcium without it being sapped anywhere!

Someone mentioned weight training. Yes, weight training is excellent for bone density. Do this and eat the calcium rich plant foods and you won't go wrong.

Answer 4

I think that your height is determined by genetics but milk has important vitamins and minerals and helps your bones and teeth grow strong. It may not make you grow taller but it will make what you have strong.

Answer 5

The idea would be that you would have stronger bones because of the calcium...you can get stronger bones by weight training without consuming the calories.

until age 25 we still have the benefits of the milk calcium but after that we build up
