I am a 17 year old female and I'I'm 5foot 9 and my mom likes to say that i got so tall because on my first Easter i got a basket full of veggies.. but i like to think it has something to do with eating right , genetics (because my mom and father are both tall), and yoga . i do yoga every once in a while i don't want to gt to tall but yoga lengthens your body and is good for the mind body and spirit.
