How does your diet affect your height?
The study of human growth is known as Auxology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxology ). The human body goes through a few growth spurts during the ages of 0-20 years. If the body is not able to get the nutrients it needs from the diet during these growth periods then the human will not grow as quickly. Therefore the final height of the human will be less than the genetically possible maximum if the diet of that human has not been optimal (i.e. containing the correct proportions and quantities of nutrients) during the growth years. The best possible diet can vary from person to person and as it is difficult to optimise without a full understanding of the role genetics play in this, it can be safe to assume a healthy diet will result in the person reaching close to their maximum possible height. A healthy diet being: - - Lots of fruit and veg - A good mix of complex and simple carbohydrates. - A moderate to low level of fat - Lots of high quality protein mainly from animal and fish sources. - Avoiding drugs, contaminents (toxic chemicals, artificial food additives) and stimulants. i.e. An organic diet.

Does food affect height?
Every-one is born with a potential height it is genetically determined you can never grow taller than this pre-determined height however lack of correct nutrition when you are grown can mean that this height is never reached. As long as you are eating a general healthy diet i.e. lots of fruit veg and lean meats you will gorw as tall as u possibly can
Does abs workout affect height?
No, not reallyAt best, it can help strengthen your core allowing you to practice good posture, thus demonstrating your full height.There are no negatives to nearly any exercise regime and height.*The only real exception is if you exercise so hard that you don’t have enough time to eat (like distance running) or if you participate in a sport that encourages weight management, like wrestling or gymnastics (particularly as a woman). The #1 factor in height is genetics…a distance #2 is diet. If you eat enough you’ll reach your potential. #3 is sleep. Exercise really has no direct effect on your height unless it interferes with #2 or #3.Bart Loews's answer to How can you increase your height?

Does jumping affect one's height?
no it will not make one taller. if anything it would make one shorter by compacting one's joints.

Eating white rice affects your height?
Ok Rice does not affect your Height and you shouldn't keep blaming it on that. I am Asian, yes I eat white rice, yes im almost 5ft 8 and im 15, but its usually hereiditary. Rice has NOTHING to do with your height, in fact, it's one of the most healthiest things to eat. You're overreacting, and besides Asians are usually shorter compared to caucasians.
