Patient's question:
Feeling no appetite, I'm still 160cm and too thin. 90 pounds, taking naps at 1 point, my eyes are trained, and my spirits are very good. I question if it's due to intergenerational inheritance; most of us are naturally thin. Regarding past treatment and effectiveness: regardless of any assistance. I want to ask;...Doctor's answer:
Growth potential is not determined by actual age but by skeletal age, also known as bone age. Bone age is an indicator of growth and development, much like tree rings—it determines your final height. If your age is greater than your bone age, it suggests you are experiencing delayed growth; if your age is less than your bone age, it indicates precocious puberty, among other conditions. Therefore, to understand your growth and development, you should have your bone age X-ray taken at a regular hospital. The doctor will assess the closure of the growth plates in the X-ray to predict your growth potential.Recommendations: To ensure your health and maximize your growth potential, pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Proper Nutrition
Physical growth and the shrinkage of organs require a substantial amount of nutrients, with proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements being particularly important. Increase your intake of animal-based foods while also consuming appropriate amounts of vegetables and fruits. Correct poor eating habits such as pickiness and meat deficiency.
2. Physical Exercise
Engage in regular physical exercise, especially activities that involve jumping, such as high jumping, parallel bars, ice skating, basketball, and volleyball. These exercises promote the growth and development of the spine and enhance the lengthening of limbs, helping your body grow taller.
The above advice addresses the question, "What activities to do before bed can help you grow taller?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
