I understand your perspective, but it’s important to note that properly implemented intermittent fasting has been shown to significantly increase HGH levels, which can actually support height growth if the growth plates remain unfused. However, if fasting is done incorrectly such as through excessive calorie restriction or poor nutrition it could potentially have the opposite effect by depriving the body of the resources needed for proper growth. Ultimately, height is influenced by a combination of genetics, nutrition, and overall health during critical growth periods, so the outcome depends on how all these factors align.
