If you drink milk will it help you grow taller

i was just wondering if you drink milk it will help you with your height because i'm 164 cm and i rarely drink milk...

 

i heard this one pill you take once a day gives you all the vitamins :x & helps you grow. but don't go buying pills =o.

 

hmm don't trust vitamins..

 

according to myths, drinking milk during ur growth phases helps =)

i can only personally prove (to an extent lol) taht not drinking milk makes u not tall... ><

generally speaking, with friends etc, those who've drunk alot more milk while young young, are all taller

 

milk contains lots of calcium which is good for your bones, teeth etc...not really to grow taller

 

A person's height is mostly determined by his DNA (ie the height of his parents & grandparents) and also nutrition.
Having said that, milk contains calcium which probably contributes to the 'nutrition' factor... Another element which is important is iron. But nutrition will only be effective before your maximum age for growth.

 

if u really want to grow then eat everything and sleep when u need it because ur metabolism is still in evolution....

 

I'm not sure if there is a proven positive correlation between milk and height

 

^There is. Anything that contains calcium in fact.

 

Drink milk, eat a variety of food, do exercises and have regular sleeping patterns. It also depends on your DNA as well as babyrain has said.

 

I do think there's at least some correlation between milk and height! Although it might not be the main reason, it can play a significant factor in the growing process like others here explained about the calcium thing and bones while you're in your puberty.

Most Asians have a lactose intolerance and don't drink that much milk and this can be one of the factors why most Asians aren't that tall compared to those with Europan ancestory. My dad drank a lot of milk is his youth and he's indeed taller than most Asian men in his age group.

DNA plays the main role though.

 

well.. do you hate it? If not, just drink it. Even if you dun grow taller.. you wun regret not trying n you can come back and tell us if it works.. lol

 

It doesnt work <_<
