Q. Does height also have a genetic factor and how much is due to nutrition? My long-term goal is to join the army. I have spent most of my life in preparing for that except my height. So I am very worried about this aspect. Whether will it hinder my growth towards my ambition? Now I am 5ft tall as like my father. The girls I meet are also taller than me?. I feel shy in front of them and I am losing self confidence. Will any nutrition help me to grow further? Does height also have a genetic factor and how much is due to nutrition?
