So if during a period of growth a child, for example, could not fall asleep at night because of stress, or woke up every now and then, it could have an impact on his overall height. It has been scientifically confirmed that stress negatively affects our growth. Our height is also influenced by the way of nutrition in the early years of life as well as. Of course, these are only hypotheses, because it may be so, but it does not have to be. If we suffered from some chronic diseases or long-term infections, there is a chance that we will be a little bit shorter. How tall we will be, also depends on our overall health in the first few years of our life. So what height we will ultimately have depends on the mass of factors, but the genes we inherit from our relatives have the greatest impact. As we know, of course, genes are not inherited only from parents, but also from grandparents or even great grandparents. Genes are primarily responsible for height. It happens very often that the son outgrows his own father. Yes, it is more likely, but not entirely. Contrary to appearances, the low height of our parents does not mean that we will certainly be short.
