i heard someone says that potato will help your height too, but im not sure.even I try it , but not everyday. so...
+ and that, I eat lots of food everyday, but my weight was drop down... like 4pounds..
and I don't know what to do?
so what kind food it really helps to grow? do I have to continued to eat every single day?

potato will help your height?
that's bullshit
every food can play a role for your growth as you need a good nutrition to make you reach your genetic potential
you can focus on high protien and diary food
and you cant go wrong with milk and cereals

dont think potatoes has direct causal effect with your height.
potatoes do have different nutritional content than rice even though both of them are under the starch food group.

Some even say that potatoes are more fattening than rice given it has a greater sucrose content
Potatoes had given me a better energy boost from my experience.

@Kahsu.
It's not good enough if you get a boost from carbohydrates.
No one say that sugar is good. And you say potatoes contain sucrose.
But, I think not from the sucrose. Because potatoes is not sweet. It's tasteless.
You get it maybe from the vitamins, minerals, and calories from the potatoes.

In my opinion, All natural food is good for health. Am I right people?
Even rice, It contains lots of fiber.

In general, starchy food will have a certain amount of sucrose and glucose in it, be it rice or potato.
Even if potatoes doesn't taste sweet doesn't mean that sucrose / glucose is not present.

Sweets/ candies taste sweet beacuse their sucrose are in much larger concentration than the ones in potatoes, and hence the sweetness blasting right onto our tongues when we have one of those

Of course I know.
What I mean is, potatoes has better nutrients rather than sucrose.
Sucrose is useless. It's just give us a quick boost, not a permanent boost like what supplements such as Iron do.

It's starch not sucrose, sucrose not in potato.You are wrong

I have already said that potatoes have a different nutritious content than rice...before you posted the first reply

"potatoes do have different nutritional content than rice even though both of them are under the starch food group"

Sugar is everywhere, its hard to avoid...but we can control the amount of intake to minimize the impact it has

Well I do not know any idea about this topic. I heard first time that potato is useful to increase the height.
If anybody know any information regarding this topic then post it here. Thank you.

Off course not, bullshit. Its only better than rice, but that's almost everything.

There are many ways that can help you to increase your height.
here are some tips that were helpful for me to grow taller naturally:
Have a good sleep
Getting a full night's sleep each and every night is one of the most important things for growing taller..Get 8-9 hours of sleep each night and take whatever steps you need to ensure that your sleep is uninterrupted as much as possible.
Different exercises
Doing the right exercises can be really helpful for growing taller. Swimming for example is really great.In the water you have less gravity and that means more open bone areas for your body to fill them with new bone tissue. The free motion of swimming is very light on your body and greatly releases stress, which can be very bad to your growth potential. Swimming about 2-4 times a week it's highly recommended if you can.
Regarding the potato option to increase height is useless.
