Patient's question:
Does it really not affect anything? I just want to practice my chest muscles, and my biceps and triceps have become much larger, but my height hasn't changed. I'm still 160cm and I think it's because I'm training muscles that I haven't grown taller. I'm mainly asking, will just training upper body muscles not affect my height? My chest and biceps and triceps have become much larger, but, my height hasn't changed. After a year, I'm still 160cm and I still think it's because I'm training muscles that I haven't grown taller.Doctor's answer:
Exercising muscles will never hinder growth.1. You can do balance exercises, which are helpful for growing taller.
2. You can do calisthenics or aerobics, which can help you maintain a fit physique and also aid in height growth.
3. Enhance nutrition to ensure your body gets all the necessary nutrients for growth and development. Consider supplements like spirulina and calcium.
4. Always maintain a positive mood, cultivate an open-minded, optimistic attitude and personality, and keep a regular lifestyle. Ensure sufficient deep sleep, increase physical exercise, run in the morning and walk in the evening. Avoid spicy, greasy, fried, extremely cold, hard, overly hot, salty, or acidic foods. Do not overeat; aim for an 80% fullness level. Increase dairy, egg, and lean meat intake in your diet.
