Patient's question:
My friend's child has always seemed shorter than their peers of the same age, growing very slowly. My friend is always very attentive to his nutritional supplements, wanting him to grow taller, and basically keeps any good food at home for him to eat. Yet, he shows no reaction at all. What are some methods to help a child grow taller?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to develop good habits, go to bed early and get up early, and avoid picky eating. Unbalanced diet can relatively weaken the intestinal absorption of nutrients, which may affect children's growth and development. The secretion of growth hormone is at its peak at night. If you go to bed late at that time, it will reduce the secretion of growth hormone, which may affect the normal development of children's height. Proper exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, promote the division of osteoblasts, and make bones grow faster.
