Answer

Hello, height is mainly influenced by genetic factors, accounting for about 70%. It also depends on other conditions, including exercise, nutrition, environment, and social factors. To promote growth, it is recommended to consume more protein-rich foods such as flour, wheat germ, beans, shellfish, beef, chicken, eggs, milk, cheese, and dark green vegetables. Avoid high-sugar foods like white rice, glutinous rice, and desserts, as well as reducing salt intake.
