During the growth and development phase, boys can support increased height by consuming foods rich in calcium—such as milk, dried shrimp, and pork rib soup—as well as foods high in high-quality protein, including lean beef and eggs. Additionally, eating fruits and vegetables abundant in vitamins also promotes healthy bone development.
