Doctor's answer:
This student, based on the height of your parents, your generational genetic height is estimated to be 1.51 meters. To grow taller, you need to digest rich nutrition, get sufficient deep sleep, and also take trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin D. Additionally, you should increase your physical activity, such as ice skating, playing basketball, reaching for high objects, playing jianzi (Chinese shuttlecock), and jumping rope, which are all good activities to promote height growth. If you are not satisfied with your current height, it is recommended that you go to the growth and development department for a bone age test to see how the epiphyseal plates are closing. If they haven't closed yet, growth hormone intervention treatment can be used.
