More Fun Facts About Height

  As I was surfing the web I came across some interesting additional facts related to height. Some of them include:

• You grow the tallest in the first year of your life
• The taller you are it raises the risk for cancer
• Height does not have everything to do with family genes
• Being tall is good for the heart

 I did not realize that only 60-80% of height has to do with your genetics! I always looked at my
more average height family and wondered where in the world I got my height from! The website link I am posting goes into more detail about these and other facts.
