Patient's question:
4-year-old boy is only 164 cm tall, the shortest in the entire class. I endure running about 1500 meters every night, and run a bit more on weekends. Will I grow taller? Occasionally eat instant noodles once? 1998Doctor's answer:
Do not eat instant noodles, you can carefully check running. Height inheritance across generations plays a certain role, but it is not the whole story. Activities that are beneficial for height growth: ball sports; ballet, swinging gymnastics; skating, running; jumping rope, high jump, and other full-body activities. People grow taller mostly after 10 PM at night. This is mainly because growth hormone is produced only after a person falls asleep. After an hour of deep sleep, it gradually reaches its peak. The peak period for growth hormone excretion is generally from 10 PM to 1 AM. During deep sleep, the excretion of growth hormone is three times that of the day. Therefore, deep sleep is extremely important in the process of growth and development.
