Info Could swimming make you taller

[Braininsane]

1. Better Posture: Swimming works your back muscles and helps you stand up straighter, so you might look a bit taller.

2. Spinal Stretch: Being in water helps stretch and relax your spine, which can give a tiny boost in height temporarily.

But most likely it comes down to genetics but it’s one of the safest exercises on the joints and helps your body stretch

Can Swimming Make You Taller?

While it is a myth that swimming can make you taller, the sport helps counteract spinal compression and improves core muscle tone. This promotes better posture, allowing swimmers to temporarily maximize their natural height and stand more confidently.

Good posture =/ height growth

Yes,But Mostly works For People In Puberty Or Smaller, children who learn to swim early will have a better chance of growing taller than their peers

Good posture and being lean can give the illusion of being tall, don’t know why exercise would increase height though

Diet is a decent part, mostly genetic

?? When has a starving African child ever grown to 7 foot?

Environment plays a role as well, along with diet, but there’s no scenario where this happens

Plenty of them. It's a strange phenomenon
7'7 NBA player manute Bol for example

He wasn’t starving. He looks skinny, but he was fed well.

Also if anything this would prove the natural diet pill, he probably ate natural foods and lived a low stress life

Lol, but at least you agree genetics are far more important than diet

Can make the difference between 5’9 and 6’0 though, and diet is important for future generations

Agree to disagree

 

[Whitepill]

Agree to disagree

if you are 5’9” or 69 inches, that means 3 inches is 4% of your height. I see no reason why that couldn’t be determined by diet?

 

[Whitepill]

I guess I can agree to disagree, but it’s still relatively important and people have proved this, especially in recent time

You can call my evidence anecdotal. But there are just wayyy too many examples of people with really bad nutrition becoming taller than their brother with a natural diet. And plenty of examples of African starving children becoming tall yet white boys eating milk, eggs, meat daily becoming short

They put slop in the food, and the environment is worse. You aren’t getting the full picture

 

[Whitepill]

Also the nutrition they may be getting may be better than you realize
