How Can I Grow Taller?

To grow taller, the first step is to replenish nutrition, especially calcium, which is very important. It is necessary to promote the body's absorption of calcium by eating calcium-rich foods, commonly known as milk. Additionally, regular sun exposure and moderate exercise can also help with growth. Of course, there are many factors that affect growth, the first being genetics, followed by nutrition issues.

1. Drinking milk is a common practice in families. Drinking a small pack of milk regularly every day, along with regular sun exposure, can promote the development of epiphyseal plates and vitamin D absorption, allowing calcium to deposit on bones. Eating calcium-rich foods such as green shrimp and hairtail is also recommended.

2. With adequate calcium intake, children can be encouraged to increase their sleep time. Most bone growth occurs during sleep.

3. Scientific research shows that height tends to be slightly higher in the morning than at night, so ensuring sufficient sleep time allows for bone growth during sleep.

If you want to know if your bones can still grow, the key is to look at the epiphyseal line at the lower end of the tibia near the ankle. Taking an X-ray can provide insight. If the epiphyseal line is still present, growth is still possible. However, if the epiphyseal line disappears and there are no osteoblasts, further growth will not occur.
