Vegans vs Non-vegans...?

Question

they say meat-eaters get in more protein therefore grow taller(which i dont think is true)on the other hand they say vegans lack the nutrients they need to grow/grow taller(which i dont believe either)

Answer 1

That isn't true.
Like the first answerer said...
I ate meat for the better part of my life... I am 5'2".
A friend of mine eats meat like a garbage disposal.... she is 4'10"...
:]

Answer 2

If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2. Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Answer 3

your height is dependent on your DNA and not on eating meat or not. sufficient proteins are available in pulses also. dont beleive is such rumours that eating meats is a sure way of getting taller. I never ate meat till i was about 22, and by then my height was 5 10.

Answer 4

Nonsense. We in India are about 60% vegetarians and do not eat non vegetarian items for generations. We do not take even eggs. But we are quite tall and about 5.6 to 6 and take, milk, ghee( When you melt butter you get this),butter, curd, cereals, pulses, wheat and rice in addition vegetables and fruits.We are healthy.

Answer 5

first off its how healthy you are not if your consuming another beings fleash, you can still get the iron you need form other places, tofu for one, also genetics has a lot to do with how tall youll get, also your forgetting the vegetarion also faced with the problem of not getting enough iron

Answer 6

Answer 7

I don't believe it. Your height is all genetic. I tower at least 6 inches over some of my meat-eating friends.

Answer 8

And your question is...

Look, when I was a child and teenager, I ate plenty of meat, and I'm barely 5'0" tall. So that's garbage.

The only way you don't get enough protein is if you don't get enough food.

Answer 9

Think of this...

Elephants, Giraffes, Gorillas, are all Vegans...

I have you seen how big those f'in things are???!!!
