hey i have a problem i have stopped gowing,i am 16 years old and i am just 1,50 meter.i have read that this can be caused because of iodine deficiency.and some years ago i got tabletts from my gp for iodine but i didnt take it seriously.i was thinking that should i again go for a blood test?and if i would take these tabletts,would it make me grow?any experiences?
maybe some other things to do/take for growth?
Your genetics may have a lot to do with this. How much do your parents measure and what are the heights of your siblings (if any).
You are 16 and 1.5 metre transform to 4.9+ inches which may or may not be less depending on your family pool.
Please reveal more about your lifestyle (diet, sleepings habits). Stress too plays an important role in deciding our physique in early states. Studies have proved that teenagers who undergo from huge amount of stress are more likely to face health disporders.
Re: growth with iodine
yes wiper my parents arent tall but i am smaller than them.and my brothers are taller,too.i accept that my grandma,aunty etc. arent tall but i hate it being so small.i somewhere read that iodine produces harmones and these are responsible for growth.so my question is,will it effect my growth if i take tabletts for iodine?
I m not sure about this komal but can certainly advise you about the proven and assured methods which can result height gain upto 2 inches for females under 18 and males under 20.
- Sleep straight with hands behind your head relaxing.
- Sleep for 8-9 hours.
- Take more protein rich diets in breakfast.
- Practice hanging.
- Just before sleeping and right after waking up, strech yourself.
- Make a habbit of taking milk everyday.
- Keep away from stress, always remain happy.
best,

Re: growth with iodine
kolam honey,
You appearance is extremely important, but what even more important is your health.
Take enough iodine so you don't get sick.
Girls can still grow after they are 16, so get active. Let the blood run through your body.
Eat plenty you will be fine inshallah.

^thanks
Re: growth with iodine
@wiper:what exactly food is good in protein?
The best protein rich diets which can be taken in breakfast can be eggs, pasta, oats, non-fat milk, bown bread, soya. The other high protein things like Cheese, chicken/meat are too heavy to include in breakfast.
The best breakfast for you should be 2 boiled eggs (minus egg yolk) + 2 brown breads along with pasta/oat + 1 glass of non-fat milk.
Re: growth with iodine
hanging etc does nothing to make you grow. it is a myth. might make you stronger though.
what does your doc think?
if you are a girl, and hit puberty at the usual time, your height is probably all done by 16. you might squeeze out another half inch.
Re: growth with iodine
I wouldnt used Iodine for growth. You can develop other ill conditions
