Inside secrets on the top 10 things that will stunt your growth.

1. Being conservative will stunt your growth.
The conventional belief is that your height is solely determined by your genetics and heredity and therefore there is no way to grow taller if your parents are short. The latest scientific research and experiments have proven that this century-old belief is NOT true. However, many people are conservative in nature and are constantly skeptical despite of all the scientific reasons and proofs. The more you suspect, the less you will act, and the harder it is for you to grow taller.

2. Being passive will stunt your growth.
In order to accomplish a great purpose such as to grow taller, first you must believe that you CAN grow taller. This seems to be obvious but it is not that easy to do. Very often your mind may be under siege by all kinds of negative thoughts such as “I am from a short family so I cannot grow any taller", "I am too old to grow taller", "I am afraid that I would fail to grow taller even if I try"... You must be positive at all times and drive off all of these negative thoughts which can prevent you from your success. One of the best ways to keep you positive is to listen to those who have succeeded in growing taller.

3. Excessive smoking will stunt your growth.
In order to grow taller your body needs a sufficient amount of oxygen all the time. While smoking a few cigarettes a day will not affect your growth, excessive smoking can decrease your lung growth. Reduced lung capacity means that lungs can hold less air and process less oxygen. In the long term this will stunt your growth, so do not smoke excessively (more than 7cigarettes a day).

4. Excessive intake of carbohydrates will stunt your growth.
Carbohydrates are rich in common foods like rice, bread, potatoes, corn, and other cereal grains. Avoid eating too many carbohydrates since they contain lots of calories but few vital nutrients that can help your body to grow. This is actually the main reason why Asian people are shorter than the European and American people. Asian people's diets mainly consist of carbohydrate-based foods such as ricer corn, but European and American people consume much more protein-rich foods such as meat and fish. So do not make rice, bread, potatoes, or cereal grains your main source of food if you want to grow taller!

5. Excessive intake of fats will stunt your growth.
There are two kinds of fats: saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are mostly bad since they have high contents of cholesterol, which can cause heart disease because arteries can become clogged with fatty material. Also, saturated fats contain large amounts of calories which can easily increase your weight. Extra weight is the enemy of height since the more you weigh, the shorter you appear, so avoid eating excessive saturated fats. Raw milk and butter contains lots of saturated fats, so you should drink skim milk and cook with vegetable oils instead of butter. Sweet foods like cookies, cake, chocolate, and ice-cream also have very high contents of saturated fats and calories and you should restrict yourself from consuming them. Saturated fats are also the white fats you can see on animal meat, so you should only eat the red parts of the animal meat. Unsaturated fats are much better since they contain much lower amounts of cholesterol and calories. Since you do need some fats to insulate your body and regulate your metabolism, you should ingest more unsaturated fats to satisfy your body's needs. Vegetable oils contain large amounts of unsaturated fats. Commonly used unsaturated vegetable oils are corn, soy, cottonseed, and safflower oils.

6. Insufficient intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
In order to grow taller, your body needs proteins, vitamins, and minerals more readily than carbohydrates and fats. Proteins are broken down into amino acids in the digestive track. Insufficient protein intake will stunt growth. Without enough amino acids, the digestive enzyme cannot be manufactured, so the food cannot be properly broken down and growth is stunted due to malnutrition. Vitamins are fat-soluble or water-soluble organic substances essential in minute amounts for normal growth and activity of the body. The most important vitamins are Vitamin C and D, which are essential for normal growth and maintenance of bone. Minerals are inorganic elements that are essential to the nutrition of humans. The most important mineral is calcium, which makes up a large part of your bones and thus can directly affect the growth of your bones. Insufficient intake of either vitamins or minerals will stunt growth because they are the "building blocks" of your body.

7. Not having enough sleep or sleeping irregularly will stunt your growth.
It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job in thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping postures are all very important for your body to grow. Too little sleep will not provide enough time for your bones to grow; too much sleep will cause you to develop laziness and slow down your metabolism, thus increasing the danger of gaining weight. Sleeping within appropriate posture is also very important for your growth during sleep. Sleeping with a correct posture can help you lengthen your spine and increase your height; sleeping with an incorrect posture can put strains on your neck, shoulders, and back and can stunt growth during sleep.

8. Lack of correct posture will stunt your growth.
Correct posture is another essential ingredient for maximum height increase. Without correct posture, all or at least most of your efforts in growing taller would be in vain because a poor posture can easily shorten your height by a few inches- it may offset the same amount of extra height that you work so hard to gain!

9. Lack of proper physical exercise will stunt your growth.
Physical exercises encourage bone growth by increasing the growth hormone level temporarily (for long term increasing of growth hormone you should use the best grow taller device- Kimi). Some special stretching exercises can even directly stimulate the cartilage growth in your lower and upper body. Lack of physical exercise will cause a low level of growth hormone and metabolism and thus stunt growth.

10. Quitting any efforts in growing taller too soon will stunt your growth.
To grow taller is not a quick task that you can accomplish in just one day. The key to success is to be patient and persistent. Many of the successful members in our program have kept up their efforts in growing taller for years. However, just like doing other long term tasks, most people lose their confidence and quit in just weeks, way before they can make a reasonable conclusion. Quitting is never the right way because it will only stunt your growth.
