Doctor's answer:
Height is determined by genetic factors, but postnatal diet and exercise can slightly alter or reduce it. To fully maximize growth potential, one should consume plenty of vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and calcium-rich foods, as well as zinc-rich foods. Avoid picky eating. Ensure adequate rest time and quality. Engage in regular physical exercise. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of the growth plates at a hospital. If the growth plates are closing but not fully fused, growth hormone can be used in the short term. However, it is crucial to act now. Appropriately consuming products that slow bone closure can be very helpful for height development.
