Patient's question:
I wake up at 5:30 or so every morning at school, then go to the playground to run (400 meters, 2 or 3 laps). After finishing, I go to the classroom for morning reading. I want to ask, is it good to run at that time? I've heard from others that it's not good to run then. Also, can I grow taller by persisting in this? I'm 17 years old; 168cm tall. Also, any suggestions for growing taller? Can hitting your legs make you grow taller? What is the reflex area for hanging knee jumps?Doctor's answer:
For the situation you mentioned, it is generally advisable to run at night. Regarding height growth, it has a certain relationship with the intergenerational inheritance of parental genes. Secondly, it is influenced by the dietary absorption of children. For your child's condition, first, you can have them checked at a hospital for the fusion of growth plates. At the same time, pay attention to your child's diet and ensure good digestion and absorption, as otherwise, there will be little nutrition for growth. It is necessary to increase nutrition, digest vitamins, and proteins. The diet should be balanced, with appropriate calcium supplementation and increased activity. Maintaining a cheerful spirit will also contribute to height growth.
