I. Tips to grow taller for you! 
Many people interested in both outer space and space exploration have 
wondered about the effects of space travel on astronauts. In particular, 
we wonder about the impact of weightlessness on the human body. 
Several decades of physiological data have been gathered from the 
manned space missions to date, but the long term effects of 
weightlessness are not fully known or understood. 
The effects of weightless on the skeleton, organs, and soft tissues are 
important areas of study. For example, what effect does weightlessness 
have on human growth? Does weightlessness make a person grow 
taller or shorter? Are there any other related effects on the human 
body? 
Human astronauts have been shown to lose bone-mass while in space, 
yet, by contrast, they actually grow taller! Astronauts will become two 
inches taller during a space mission of 12 weeks duration or more and 
this fact is why space suits are made two inches taller than the 
astronaut's normal height. 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 1
The best theories that scientists have about both bone loss and adding 
the extra two inches of height point back to gravity's absence. In the 
case of bone loss, one theory is that the loss of gravity causes the bones 
to reconfigure themselves from a "gravity resistant" state to a 
weightless state. In the case of height increase, gravity's absence 
prevents compression of the spine which acts as a counter-balance to 
fluid absorption in the spinal discs. The height gain in space is a natural 
reaction to the loss of gravity's pull on the spine, which allows the spine 
to lengthen. 
Want some proof? Try measuring your own height at the beginning and 
end of the day and you'll notice that you'll lose close to an inch of 
height during the day. Why? Gravity compresses your spine during the 
day. At night, when you're lying down, the compression will reverse 
itself until you get up the next day. The effects of weightlessness 
further eliminate the compression of the spine. 
Is this height gain from weightlessness permanent? No! Just like your 
own spine elongates after lying down for a number of hours, an 
astronaut will eventually return to their normal height within days of 
their return. So those of you who dream of being astronauts can take 
assurance in one fact: you won't have to make a permanent change to 
your wardrobe after each mission! 
II. Grow taller tips 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 2
Maybe you feel like your friends 
have suddenly hit a growth spurt 
and you're lagging seriously 
behind. Maybe the rest of your 
family is really tall and you're 
wondering if you can do anything 
to catch up. The truth is that a 
person's height is mostly 
determined by things out of their 
control,-- genes. 
Do know, though, that there are 
many factors that affect height 
which can be controlled, a whole 
battery of natural habits, 
techniques and foods that can 
enhance your ability to grow taller. 
So, if you are still growing, read on 
to learn about natural ways that 
work for and with you to help you 
grow taller.

Method 1 : To Become Taller 
1. 
1.Consume a balanced diet. A person will look a lot shorter when 
having a plump body. Not only that, being fit by eating right will 
make you taller and feel better! 
o Eat plenty of lean protein. Lean protein, such as white 
poultry meat, fish, soy, and dairy, helps promote muscle 
growth and healthy bones. Simple carbohydrates such as 
pizza, cakes, sweets, and soda, are the stuff to stay away 
from. 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 4
o Eat plenty of calcium. Calcium, found in leafy green 
vegetables such as spinach and kale, and in dairy (yogurt and 
milk), helps promote healthy bones.[1] 
o Get enough zinc. Studies, although they have been 
inconclusive so far, point to a possible link between zinc 
deficiencies and stunted growth in boys.[2] Good sources of 
zinc include oysters, wheat germ, pumpkin and squash 
seeds, lamb, peanuts, and crab.[3] 
o Get enough vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes bone and muscle 
growth in children[4], and a deficiency has been shown to 
stunt growth and cause weight gain in teenage girls.[5] 
Vitamin D can be found in fish, alfalfa, or mushrooms 
commonly. 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 5
2. 
Exercise throughout the teen years and in puberty to improve 
your height modestly. Do jumping exercises frequently, such as 
skipping, dancing and even hanging . Be active. Get out and about 
and work your muscles for at least 30 minutes each day. 
o Join a gym. Joining a gym will help give you access to a lot of 
great exercising and muscle-building machines. It will also 
keep you motivated to work out (you'll feel silly if you're not 
exercising in the gym). 
o Join a sports team. People who join sports teams can use 
their natural competitiveness to burn extra calories and 
hopefully get their bodies taller. The great thing about team 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 6
sports is that half the time, you don't even realize that 
you're exercising. 
o If nothing else, walk around. If you can't find the time to do 
anything else, get up and walk around. Walk to the grocery 
store. Walk to the library. Walk to school. 
3. 
3 
Get adequate sleep each night. Sleeping is the time when your 
body grows, so having plenty of sleep is equivalent to giving your 
body more time for growth. Get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep 
per night if you're a preteen or still younger than 20. 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 7
o The human growth hormone (HGH) is produced naturally in 
our bodies, especially during deep or slow wave sleep.[6] 
Getting good, sound sleep will encourage the production of 
HGH, which is created in the pituitary gland. 
4. 
4 
Understand that a majority of your height will be predetermined 
by genetics. Scientists reckon that 60% to 80% of your height is 
determined by genes.[7] Unfortunately, either you have the tall 
gene or you don't. That's not to say that you can't grow tall if you 
have parents who are on the shorter side; it just means that 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 8
having shorter parents means you're more likely to be on the 
short side. 
5. 
5 Try not to stunt your growth. There might not be a lot you can 
do to increase your height, but you can take several steps to make 
sure your natural height isn't shortened by environmental 
influences. Drugs and alcohol are both thought to contribute to 
stunted growth if they're ingested while you're young, and 
malnutrition can keep you from reaching your full height, as well. 
o Does caffeine really stunt your growth? Scientific study 
shows that, no, caffeine does not stunt growth.[8] Caffeine 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 9
does, however, have a higher chance of keeping you from 
sleeping soundly and regularly. Kids and adolescents needs 
about 9-10 hours of sleep, and caffeine may hurt your ability 
to get that much sleep. 
o Does smoking really stunt your growth? The effects of 
smoking and second-hand smoke on body mass index (BMI) 
are inconclusive. According to Columbia University's Internet 
Health Resource, "Although the studies that have been done 
are largely inconclusive, the available research suggests that 
children who smoke or who are exposed to second-hand 
smoke are shorter than those who do not smoke or are 
children of non-smokers."[9] 
o Do steroids really stunt your growth? Absolutely. Anabolic 
steroids inhibit bone growth in young children and teens, 
along with lowering sperm count, decreasing breast size, 
elevating blood pressure and putting you at higher risk of 
heart attack.[10] Children and teens who suffer from asthma 
and use inhalers that dispense small doses of the steroid 
budesonide are, on average, half an inch shorter than those 
not treated with steroids.[11] 
6. Expect to be in your twenties when you stop growing. A lot of 
young kids look at themselves and ask, "Have I finished growing 
yet?" If you're under 18, the answer is probably "No!"[12] If you 
haven't stopped puberty yet, then you haven't stopped 
growing.[13] Try to be thankful that you have a little time to grow 
taller instead of worrying about how tall you will be.

increasing height up to 5-6 inches & providing an appeasing personality 
to users to gain peaks of life.

  • 2. The best theories that scientists have about both bone loss and adding the extra two inches of height point back to gravity's absence. In the case of bone loss, one theory is that the loss of gravity causes the bones to reconfigure themselves from a "gravity resistant" state to a weightless state. In the case of height increase, gravity's absence prevents compression of the spine which acts as a counter-balance to fluid absorption in the spinal discs. The height gain in space is a natural reaction to the loss of gravity's pull on the spine, which allows the spine to lengthen. Want some proof? Try measuring your own height at the beginning and end of the day and you'll notice that you'll lose close to an inch of height during the day. Why? Gravity compresses your spine during the day. At night, when you're lying down, the compression will reverse itself until you get up the next day. The effects of weightlessness further eliminate the compression of the spine. Is this height gain from weightlessness permanent? No! Just like your own spine elongates after lying down for a number of hours, an astronaut will eventually return to their normal height within days of their return. So those of you who dream of being astronauts can take assurance in one fact: you won't have to make a permanent change to your wardrobe after each mission! II.
