some evidence-based stuff we've looked at the research we've looked at the sign so let's work
through some evidence-based stuff that is going to help you reach your maximum potential for your
height okay let's begin okay so tip number one tip number one is probably one of well it's probably
the most important thing you need to do to get to your maximum height okay and it's all about
growth hormone release okay growth hormones are released by the pituitary gland okay
growth hormones are massively released during night time when we are asleep okay so this is the
time where we are releasing those growth hormones for you to grow to your maximum potential okay so
what does this mean it means that sleep is vital for growth sleep is vital for height so i want you
to really think back to yourself how much sleep are you getting are you getting enough sleep or
are you playing video games and just you know staying up really really late instead of getting
your adequate amount of sleep now please remember eight hours of sleep is what we recommend for
adults okay if you're 12 if you're nine if you're a teenager you need to be getting more sleep and
i'm gonna break it down here for you is gonna be some numbers for different ages and the number of
hours that they need but you really really really need to get enough sleep i can't emphasize on this
enough in this video if you're not getting enough sleep you're not gonna maximize that potential
growth okay so this is super important and if you need some tips on how to sleep and how to get
good quality sleep because the quality of sleep is also an important factor i do have quite a
few videos on it and i'm gonna leave a link to it up here and in the description below for you so
please remember sleep is the most important thing okay so moving on to tip number two tip number two
is all about caffeine intake okay caffeine has been linked to reduced height okay so what does
this mean well it basically means that you need to try and reduce your caffeine intake look if
you're going through puberty and then you are in your prime years of growth and you really
want to maximize the sort of potential for you to grow to the highest amount okay i would recommend
that you just quit caffeine okay if you drink a lot of caffeine you need to cut down and just
stop it okay but if you really want to maximize that growth okay and you really want to get good
quality sleep because that is the most important thing remember sleep this is linking back to sleep
basically you need to get good quality sleep so we can release the growth hormones from
the pituitary gland for you to maximize your growth so if you can and you're drinking a
lot of caffeine and you're having a lot of energy drinks you're having a lot of coffee a lot of teas
all that sort of stuff please please please try reducing if you can cut it down completely
okay this will maximize how much you can grow and also if you want to work out how much caffeine
you're having i'll leave a useful calculator in the description below which you might find helpful
now moving on to tip number three tip number three is all about smoking okay and i'm sure a
lot of you watching this video won't smoke because you're probably gonna be teenagers okay but if you
do smoke we know from evidence and research that smoking reduces your height okay so you won't be
able to grow to your maximum so if you do smoke please quit and i know it's not as easy as that
to just quit so i do have quite a few videos on it and i'm going to leave a link to it up here and in
the description below also maybe speak to your health care questions get some support from them
as well okay this is massively important to help you grow more now i know smoking nowadays a lot
of people are vaping as well which people think isn't as harmful as smoking tobacco but again
there are so many different chemicals in these vaping mixes that people smoke okay and a lot of
them we really don't know enough about okay so if you vape if you smoke if you use e-cigarettes any
sort of thing like that please quit i have videos on it as well again i'm gonna leave it up here and
in the description so please check it out but also remember as well if you don't smoke and i've been
rambling on about smoking for a bit but if you don't smoke and someone in your household smokes
for example there is sort of passive smoking as well and this again has been linked to reduced
height so what you need to do is really speak to the person in your house and ask them to smoke
outside maybe if they're smoking indoors just ask them if they can smoke outside in the garden
wherever so you're not passive smoking because we all know not only does it not help with the
height but it also increases your risk of various different cancers and it's probably well it's not
probably it is the best thing that you can do in your life to quit smoking or to quit passive
smoking so i hope that helps now moving on to tip number four tip number four is all about having a
healthy balanced diet look it is so important that you are having a healthy balanced diet
full of good stuff proteins carbohydrates good fat all of these things are essential for your
body to make those building blocks to help with your height okay so you need to really think about
what your diet is like is your diet healthy are you having a lot of home-cooked foods okay are you
having salads are you having good meat for example all of these come into play when having a healthy
balanced diet now if i want to go on about healthy fats diet we're going to be here forever so if
you want more information on how to have a more healthy balanced diet i'm going to leave a link to
