Patient's question:
I am 14 years old, 158.49 cm tall, and weigh 49 kg. Now, I feel like I'm growing very slowly. In junior high school, I was 149 cm tall. I have never been treated. What kind of help do you need: Teacher, I am 14 years old. Can some equipment at the gym be used? Will it interfere with my height growth? I take protein powder, multivitamins, and calcium pills every day, do sit-ups every day, and play basketball on Saturdays and Sundays. How much help does playing basketball have for growing taller?Doctor's answer:
The main factor affecting growth is still heredity. What you need to pay attention to after birth is a proper nutritional balance and appropriate physical exercise. For now, you don’t need to go to the gym to use equipment for strength training. You can play basketball every day, which will help with height growth. Additionally, eat more protein-rich foods, such as milk and eggs. The above advice is for the question "How to exercise to achieve the goal of growing taller." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
