What food should i eat in order to balance my weight and my height so that i will grow more than my height right now? should i take food supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Height limitations: At age 25, it's very likely that your bony growth plates have closed -- usually they do this by the end of your teen years. Until then, these plates allow the ends of your long bones to lengthen -- adding to your height. How tall you ultimately become depends largely on genetics, and nutrition while growth plates are open. What you eat now can keep your body healthy, but no additional height.
