What foods make you grow taller?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Balanced diet.: Height is determined by other factors than diet, such as genetics. Eating a healthy balance diet can certainly allow you the maximum height you can attain, given your genetics.

Mostly genes: Nutrition is rarely a factor unless you are nutritionally deficient. Males are expected to reach the average of both parents height plus 5 cm while females reach the average less 5 cm. There are no exercises or special foods to make you grow taller.
