Question
My son is 20 years old and only 165 cm tall, but his father is 178 cm tall, and I am 160 cm tall. We are worried that his height may affect his future marriage, and we want to know how a 20-year-old boy should adjust his diet and lifestyle to increase his height.
Answer
Generally, a boy’s height can reach adult levels around the age of 24. A person’s height is influenced by genetics as well as environmental factors. For example, it is important to maintain regular exercise and develop good lifestyle habits, ensure sufficient sleep, maintain a balanced diet, consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid picky eating, and reduce snacking.
