Can a 7-year-old still grow taller by eating?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, what can a 17-year-old eat to grow taller? What to eat, previous treatment history and effectiveness: none. What kind of help is needed: need to know what to eat.

Doctor's answer:

At the age of 17, the epiphyseal plates may not have fully fused. You can visit a hospital for a detailed examination of the epiphyseal plates. If the epiphyseal plates have not completely fused, growth hormone can be used in the short term to some extent to increase height.
Advice: It is recommended that you do not lack meat in your diet and consume more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and calcium-rich foods. Ensure adequate rest time and quality, and engage in regular physical exercise. Good luck with your success.
