Question
My child is going through puberty and I want to know how to promote his height growth. He has always been a bit shorter than others, and now he hopes to make a change. What should I do?
Answer
Minors can engage in stretching exercises such as jumping high, using the horizontal bar, skipping rope, playing volleyball, and basketball, which can help promote height growth. Consuming foods rich in calcium, such as soy products, fish and shrimp, bone soup, sesame paste, and milk, can aid in the development of height. During this period, avoid eating cold foods to prevent affecting the spleen and stomach function, leading to discomfort and affecting nutrient intake. At the same time, pay attention to staying warm and avoid catching a cold.
