Is Possible That Americans Can Get Taller? Or Have They Reached The Top?


Is It possible that americans can not get taller as a society?, studies that were carried out over the last century seem to show that they may have reached they perfect height. Research carried out during the 20th century confirmed that on average children out grew they're parents by at least an inch. But there are indications that this is changing.

Studies now indicate that the average height for men and women stand at 5"4 and 5"9 for the latter. There could be many reason but many believe it is down to the way we lead our lives, this may be down to the fact that as children our supply of nutrients required for growth is ample and we suffer less stress. Americans may have reached they're optimal height through consuming foods and avoiding disease in they're growing years, therefore enabling them to achieve they're optimal height.

As a nation growth seems to have leveled out but there are still signs that growth is happening in small pockets of the country. It has been proved through studies during the 20th century that height gain is very much reliant on on a persons nutrition and enviroment. The findings were overwhelmingly convincing and showed that children who received proper nutrition during they're youth grew and developed and were more likely to get taller and become more successfull than those less lucky.
