What are hormones? Do they have anything to do with my short height?
Answer:
First of all there is nothing wrong with being short. Second genes determine how tall you are. Some people use hormones to increase their height when they are young, but this can cause some adverse affects such as depression. Even if you marry a tall person, your children can still be shorter than normal. A study was done a few months ago, and the United States average height has decreased substantially, and will continue to. One example believed to be a cause was the hormones in our food. The hormones cause our bodies to grow at an earlier time period than normal, which causes us to stop growing earlier. My suggestion is you think about how you are going to maintain a healthy lifestyle for you and your children Vs. worrying whether they are going to be tall or not.
genes are the one that gave you your cahratericstic of being short.. the chances of your shildren to be short too depends on you and your husbands gene. your husband may be tall but he may eb carrying the short gene so the tendency of your child may be high too.. it actually depends on chance..
and
hormones are chemical substance that help regulate and controls the activity of you body eg:estrogen/ progesterons/testosterone... etc... nothing to do with you characteristic
Hormones are molecular signals that control various biochemical processes which control not only growth but also your mental state like hunger, sexual urge, anger, happiness, etc. Therefore it is very imperative that we have a proper check on them so that if anything is not normal we could undergo early treatment without getting to much damage. And yes your short might be an outcome of hormone imbalance and this is genetically linked too. Means your children have high probability that they might suffer from same hormonal imbalance. I cannot say this with certainty, no one could. What you can do to be sure is to get yourself a home hormone testing kit and send in your samples to the lab address mentioned on such kits. You will receive a report within 2-3 days in an easy to review paper form telling you all about your hormone levels. I trust the kits from the following manufacturer:
You can also look for more information on hormones on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/growth_horm...
ur an adult and you do not know what hormones are HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Are you taking any hormones?
If no and you are short for your age,like your father,or any family members then there is more chances for genetic reasons.
Better marry a tall person of opposite sex to try the next best alternative to save your children.
