How To Improve Height At Age 14?
I have a son who is very concerned about his height..he is very athletic..he is 14 years old weights 145 (not fat) he works out 2, 3 times a week.. he is afraid that he is not going to get any taller, he is 5 2 and most of his friends are at least 5 5 to 5 7 or taller. I am only 5 2 and his father is 5 10 5 11 . what do you think?

usually height of an person is average of his two parents which means your son s height should be 5.4 to 5.6 but the rule doesnt apply as such always . a number of dietry and environmental factors also affect height. ask your son to take protein rich diet ,calcium vitamine D supplements and to do excercises like skipping, cycling ,hanging on height etc. this will help him
