Patient's question:
My son is 20 years old and only 165 cm tall, but his father is 178 cm and I am 160 cm. We are now worried that he won't find a wife in the future due to his height. I want to ask, what should a 20-year-old boy eat to grow taller?Doctor's answer:
Usually, a boy's height can reach around the age of 24, so there is no need to worry too much. A person's height is related to inheritance to some extent, and it is also affected by some factors later on. For example, persist in exercising and develop good habits. Lifestyle habits, ensure adequate sleep, achieve balanced nutrition in diet, good mix of vegetarianism, do not be picky eaters, eat less snacks, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
