When it comes to decreased self-confidence in men, one of the most common reasons behind it is not being tall enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s because taller men are often more successful and richer than the rest, plus they seem to end up with the hottest women on the face of the planet! And this is why it is entirely normal for a short man to feel inadequate and wonder if he can grow taller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what is the age limit of growth in males? Scientists say that growth spurt in boys occurs between 12 and 15 years\nold. By the time that they are already between 16 and 18 years old, a lot of\nthem stop growing. However, it is important to note that there are always\nexceptions to the rule, and that is why some males may continue to grow taller.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You are wondering about the age limit when it comes to height growth in males because most likely, you are already in your 20s or 30s, and you would like to know whether or not your current height could still change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, you will be more than happy to know that it is still very much possible for you to enjoy height increase even if you are way past puberty. On the internet, you can easily come across stories about males who grew taller, and some of them achieved success even if they are already in their 40s<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t stop reading this article if you would like to know more\nabout the male height growth limit and how it can be defied. Below you will\ncome across a few very important matters that a height-conscious male like you\nshould know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your height is due to a number of different factors. The genes are an important determiner of your height \u2014 up to 80% of it is influenced by your DNA<\/a>. Your nationality is also a very important factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, a male Australian is generally taller than a male Indonesian based on a height chart of men<\/a> in different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, when the height is being talked about, the so-called growth plates will undoubtedly be mentioned. Put simply, growth plates<\/a> are areas of the bones that are made up of cartilage, and they are where new bone tissue forms. They are located at the ends of long bones, such as the bones in your legs and arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The growth plates in boys tend to stop producing new bone tissue by around 16 years old. This is the reason why, earlier in this article, we mentioned that males usually stop growing in height when they reach 16 to 18 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to note, however, that sometimes the growth plates close before or after 16 years old. It is due to this why some boys tend to stop growing before 16 years old, while others keep on growing after 16 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Above, we talked about the fact that as much as 80% of your height is based on the DNA that you acquired from your parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This only means that the remaining 20% is due to some other factors. It is for this reason exactly why even if your parents are short, it is still very much possible for you to have average or even above average height!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having a balanced diet is a must, especially while the growth plates are still producing new bone tissue. That’s because it allows the body to obtain all the nutrients necessary for optimum bone growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We all know that calcium is a vital nutrient for the bone, and that is why the intake of milk and dairy products<\/a> is highly recommended for those who would like to grow really tall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientists say that nutrients such as<\/a> potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, fluoride, vitamin D, vitamin A, B vitamins, and protein are important as well to make sure that the bones will be able to grow without trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staying physically active is highly recommended, too. Engaging in exercise and sports encourages the bones to grow by means of increased human growth hormone levels<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nGrowth Plates are Major Role Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nutrients and Exercise are Factors, Too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
