However, for women, 6-7 year old is the time for body growth and it will get slow after 14 years old and stop in the age of 18 years old.

After growing period, people will get hard to increase their height. However, you do not have to worry because you are still able to get your ideal body weight.

Some Factors

          Dr. Michael triangto SpKO states that basically, there are several factors influencing our body height as the following.

Genetic Factor

          Everyone must have genetic characteristic as tall or short. Some of people also have less somatotroopin hormone produced by pituitary gland under your brain. That kind of hormone is used to control bone growth. In the age of 12-14 years old, this gland is very active and produces more hormones to stimulate bone growth. The, the production of hormone reduces as getting older you are.

          Although genetic factor is very important, there are other factors that influence body height as physical activity, life style, sufficient nutrition, and others. So, if you have short genetic factor, you do not have to worry because you can still do some other positive activity to get higher body height.

Physical Activity

          Daily activity may influence body height. People who like to lift heavy things will have slow body weight.

Enough Nutrients
