Patient's question:
My son is 13 years old this year, 1.4 meters tall, and only weighed 4 jin 1 liang at birth, so he has always been shorter than others. Ignorantly, I thought the child might be "late developing." This year, he has started to grow, and I am very worried about his height issue.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Height is influenced by genetics and nutritional status during development. If the growth plates have not closed, there is still a possibility of further growth under normal circumstances. Any height increase method that deviates from normal bone development is not healthy.1. Height is not a standard for measuring a person's worth; it should be viewed objectively. It is not advisable to attempt height increase through abnormal means.
2. Maintain a varied diet, avoid picky eating, and ensure balanced nutrition. Consume more calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, soy and its products, kelp, shrimp, etc.
