no food can make you taller. \n\nI'm also a vegetarian & a part-time personal trainer, so don't think I'm just messing with you on this...seriously, no food that you eat nor exercises that you do can make you taller. Sad, but true.

Nope. It's a myth. In fact, regular exercise during one's growing years actually promotes the production of growth hormones. Height is predominantly decided by your genes. Pullups are the best bet to do what little you can to increase your height. Or if thats too difficult, simply hang from a bar.

You are more likely to get taller by eating more calcium, since your height is dependent upon how large your bones are, and protein is more about muscles.  \n\nHonestly, though, I don't think there is anything that will help you get taller in a month.  Your genes and the amount of calcium you have had to date in your life would play a big role in your overall height, but there is no way to naturally stimulate your growth like that.

Yes, but I think it is coincidental rather than causal.  There is a stronger relationship between dietary habits and height.  If a culture consumes alot of meat protein, they grow taller.  If they subsist on a diet of mainly vegetables and grains, they remain short.  The hormones and muscle proteins of the meat cause people to grow taller - especially if they are consumed throughout the entire life of the individual, from infancy on.

You can't. But eating Healthy and staying hit helps you attain your full natural hight. You'll only grow so much and you can't do anything about it.\nThough I have heard of a sergery that can do something to make you taller, but I don't know much about it.\n\nBe thankful for the height you have, somepeople are extremely short...for lack of a politer way to say it.

Metabolism does effect the lifespan, But i dont know about the growth\nLike, Males die before to females 'cause the metabolism in males is far far larger than in females\n\nBut when I searched in Google, I found a site\nAnd It contains relationships in BIVALVES, Mytilus (wow!)\n\n\n\nHere is the info....(http://www.springerlink.com)\n\nAbstract  Measurements of ingested ration, assimilated ration and metabolic rate in Mytilus edulis L. of different sizes have been integrated to provide an estimate of energy balance, which in turn describes the physiological state of the animal. These data allow the empirical determination of growth efficiency and ration. Growth efficiency increases hyperbolically with increasing ingested ration to reach a maximum, after which efficiency decreases as ration is further increased. The optimum ration for efficient growth increases with increasing weight of the mussel; maximum growth efficiency decreases with increasing body weight.\n\nCommunicated by J.H.S.

There is no food that will make you grow taller. It depends on your genes and not the food you eat. \n\nIf you are a girl, then you probably can't grow any more and will stay that small.\n\nIf you are a boy, then you will continue to grow until you are 21.

OK, while oysters are good for many people, folks with liver disease cannot eat shellfish, and that includes oysters.  I have a cat with liver disease (and I know, not related, right?) who can't have seafood-derived catfood since shellfish can and will be in there.  Same thing for people, since the liver does the same thing in cats as people.\n\nShellfish are bottom feeders.  They absorb and can't get rid of all the nasty things in the ocean, like mercury and lead.  These heavy metals are deadly to your liver.  Your liver will try to get rid of these metals and be unable to do so, leading to acute liver failure.  It is practically a guarantee that with each oyster you will encounter heavy metals due to the fact that we don't know where each piece of ocean meat comes from, and all the waters off the US, Arica, and Asia are quite polluted anyway -- no oysters for you, my dear, no matter how cooked they may be.

Go down to your local provision store and inquire about this.\n\nMost sell powder you can mix with water and drink, which helps you grow taller.\n\nBut I don't recommend this cos it may produce side effects like overgrowth or uneven growth.

I'm fairly sure it doesn't. Sorry height is usually about genetics, and its usually something you can't control. You could try some kind of growth hormones or just drinking milk to develop strong bones. But check with your doctor before trying any medication.

eating healthy foods and having enough sleep.\n\nmost people think that you need to have enough calcium, but they actually don't know that calcium doesn't actually help you growing taller for it only goes to the calcium depository inside your bones with the help of osteocytes. therefore calcium is for your bone mass and not bone length, but still needed for your bone mass if ever you got taller. ;)\n\nand by the way, the part which really makes us longer are those of the ones interconnected to other bones with the ligaments, etc. for those are the reasons why bones extend from their normal sizes. i can't recall the term, let me tell you when i get back to my house for my book, im in summer vacation right now.

It will only affect your growth if you're masterbating while drinking coffee.lol, j/k.   \nIt won't affect your growth.\nIt will just turn your palms hairy and make you go blind.

Human health \n\nEating clams, mussels, oysters or scallops contaminated by red tide can cause severe illness and even death to humans. Federal regulations now require toxin monitoring programs that are implemented during red tide outbreaks. While some illnesses related to shellfish consumption occur, the highly cautionary regulations have been quite effective. \n\nAerosols from red tides can produce respiratory ailments. However, no studies have been done to determine if there are long-term consequences of inhaling potent neurotoxins from algae. Also, it is difficult to assess long-term effects of acute exposure among tourists who leave the area. \n===============================================\n\nPlease see a doctor right away! In the mean time, don't eat any sea creatures and protect yourself from common colds. The treatment that I found includes infussion of antibiotics and being in an oxygen tank.\n\nGood luck!
