Height growth is influenced by multiple factors including heredity, nutrition, sleep, and physical activity. Generally, males experience the closure of the growth plates around 18 to 20 years of age, at which point height growth stops.
It is recommended to control body weight through a balanced diet and appropriate exercise, bringing weight into the normal range, which can help reduce any adverse effects on height growth. Secondly, ensure sufficient sleep, aiming for at least 8 to 10 hours per day, as this benefits the secretion of growth hormone.
In addition, engaging in appropriate physical activities that promote height growth, such as rope skipping, basketball, and swimming, is advisable. It is important to remember that height growth is a natural process; excessive pursuit of increased height should be avoided to prevent resorting to inappropriate methods that may harm the body.
If you still have questions regarding height growth, it is recommended to consult a professional physician.
