Question
I’m 17 years old and have been doing too much physical exercise during my growth period, with slightly noticeable muscles in my arms and legs. I haven’t grown taller for a year now and would like to know how I can increase my height.
Answer
Height is determined by three factors: heredity, nutrition, and activity, with heredity having the most significant interference. You can go to the hospital for an X-ray examination to check if your growth plates are still open. Pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid faddy eating, and engage in regular physical activities, all of which can help you grow taller. It’s advisable to have a detailed examination of your growth plates at the hospital. If the growth plates have already fused, there’s basically no possibility of further growth. I hope this helps.
