To note, Ye Li, who is also a former Chinese basketball player, is 191 cm tall. while Yao Qinley or who is familiarly called Amy was born in the United States on May 22, 2010. With her new age towards 14 years, Amy grew much higher than children her age.

No wonder Amy's appearance with her grandmother and mother some time ago was in the spotlight. And her towering posture is widely discussed by netizens. Amy is predicted to continue to grow tall until she touches the two-meter figure considering that she is currently still in her growth age.

Quoting Medical News Today, experts believe that DNA has a role of up to 80 percent for a person's height. This means that people who grow tall tend to have children who also grow to be high. This growth period reaches the age of 18.

However, healthline said, genes are not the only determinants of a person's height. In some cases, a child may be much higher than parents or other relatives. Or, it could also be shorter.

Apart from genetic factors, there are other factors that need to be considered that can determine a person's height, especially in childhood and youth. Children and adolescents who are in a growing age need some precise steps to maximize their height when they grow up.

Some of the ways that can be done is to ensure that you provide nutritious food, get enough quality sleep, and exercise regularly.

Nutrition plays a very important role in the growth period. Children without good nutrition may not be as high as children who are given complete nutritional intake," wrote Medical News Today.

While quality sleep offers growth and development in children and adolescents. During deep sleep, the body releases the hormones needed for growth. Therefore, adequate sleep allows optimal growth," he added.

Nutritionists recommend children and adolescents eat varying foods, go on a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables. In addition, protein and calcium are also important for health and bone growth.

In addition to consuming nutritious food, another way to maximize children's height is to exercise consistently. Experts agree that regular exercise is very important for physical development, because it supports bone health and muscle tissue.

The training done doesn't need to be too heavy, it can start from playing outdoors, walking early in the morning, or swimming which can make the bone stronger and healthier.

Men tend to be higher than women. This happens not without reason. Teenage boys usually experience growth spurts or a large growth speed of growth at the beginning of their retirement, about two years after teenage girls. However, boys are likely to continue to grow longer than teenage girls.

Meanwhile, the acceleration of growth in women usually subsides after the start of the menstrual cycle, which averages around the age of 12.5 years. That's why men tend to be higher than women.

The Centers for Disease Prevention Control (CDC) in the United States said the average adult male was 175.2 cm high while the average woman had a height of 161.2 cm.

DNA is indeed the main determinant in determining a person's height. However, environmental factors such as nutrition and exercise can also affect growth.

As children get older, they need good nutrition to exercise regularly to help the body create the hormones needed to grow. Meanwhile, teenagers will experience accelerated growth in rural times. But after that, their bones will stop growing and cannot get higher anymore.

In some cases, a person needs growth hormones to help increase their height. However, this cannot be done without the strict supervision of doctors and with certain medical conditions.
