Can excess sodium stunt height growth?i want to reach my maximum height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What do you mean by excess sodium. Just adding salt to your food will not affect your height. Height is determine to a good extent by genetics and the height of your parents would provide an idea of your likely final stature. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
