Question
Can I still grow taller? I am 18 years old and I want to grow 7 to 8 centimeters taller.
Answer
Whether you can grow taller depends on various factors, particularly genetic ones. Other influencing factors include good sleep, appropriate exercise, and hormone levels. If you want to find out if you still have growth potential, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a bone age and endocrine status check. In daily life, you should consume protein-rich foods such as soy products and milk, engage in outdoor activities, get plenty of sunlight, eat vegetables and fruits, maintain sufficient sleep, and have an appropriate amount of exercise.
