TLDR: Growth plates do not determine height growth and that it is possible to grow taller at any age through mechanical and chemical stimuli.
"New scientific evidence has suggested that growing taller can occur at any age and that this may be because of the fact that your growth plates never close."
The growth plates in our bones, made of hyaline cartilage, play a crucial role in longitudinal bone growth during childhood and adolescence.
Your growth plates are still open even after your epiphyseal cartilage has mostly closed, allowing you to continue growing taller.
Your growth plates never close, as the articular cartilage in your knees, ankles, and spine can turn into your own growth plates.
"Exercises that generate tensional force, rather than compressive force, can stimulate bones to increase in length."
Eating at least 125 grams of protein daily can increase HGH levels by providing essential amino acids.
"Insulin and HGH are antagonistic, meaning that if insulin raises, HGH goes down."
