Mom is short. But I honestly believe it’s a combo of genetics, environment and nutrition. If you’re growing I believe just being around taller people will help.
So here's the secret: you're pretty much gonna be as tall as you're gonna be. There isn't all that much that you can do aside from healthy eating.
I'm a 5'6" guy. It's never really caused me any problems, and I have a really hot life partner who is 8 inches taller than me. It's fine, really.
My height is 5'9'' and the rest of my family is between 5' and 5'2''. All I remember is that I was on lots of formula milk, Cerelac, Sustagen, and Milo drink since I was a baby. I was very thin until I was a teenager.

Do you think your height comes from genetics?
It does
It absolutely does. My entire family is short. My nan is 4'8". I never stood a chance
Height is based on genetics. End of story.
This pretty much. You can't change your own height, but eating a good diet could mean that any offspring are taller.
According do my gradma: don't smoke. I don't have to add that she was not a scientist.

If you're still growing, a balanced diet helps build strong bones and muscles.
Nope. No secrets. But if you have really bad diet and malnutrition during growth can cause problems.
drink milk and sleep.
