    To grow taller plenty of protein, calcium, vitamin D and zinc all help.

    To reach your potential height you need adequate sleep (from 8-10 hours per night), adequate calories and a normal healthy diet.

    Plenty of protein from eggs, meat, poultry, sea food and dairy products helps as well as calcium from milk, cheese and other dairy products. You also need plenty of zinc from red meat, oysters, mussels, nuts and seeds and zinc fortified cereals such as Weetbix. Vitamin D3 via the Sun also helps.

    Girls usually stop growing at 15 and in most cases any further height growth from 15-21 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.

    Guys usually stop growing at 18 and in most cases any further height growth from 18-25 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.

    Under eating and under sleeping can, to some extent, stunt your height growth. Exercise does not help your height growth and smoking can actually reduce your potential height by a whole inch.

    As according to my research on the whole, the type of diet that has been proven to be particularly valuable to someone that wants to grow taller, is one that is and rich in calcium and iron, and also high in low-fat protein. To help the body to absorb the minerals essential to growth, it is important to combine them with their complementary vitamin. Vitamin D in combination with calcium will allow the body to absorb the calcium more readily. Similarly, Vitamin C in conjunction with Iron is also beneficial. Some dairy products have added Vitamin D for this reason, and many leafy green veggies have both Iron and Vitamin C. It is also essential to make sure that you keep your intake of magnesium and zinc quite high. If you aren't getting enough of these in your diet, then taking supplements can be a good option..
