Question
My friend’s child has always seemed shorter than their peers and grows slowly. My friend is very concerned about their child’s growth and has paid close attention to their nutritional supplements. They basically give their child everything delicious at home, but there’s still no response. How can children grow taller?
Answer
It is important to develop good living habits, such as going to bed early and waking up early, avoiding picky eating and an imbalanced diet. Since the intestines have relatively poor absorption of nutrients, this may hinder the child’s growth and development. Nighttime is the peak period for the secretion of growth hormones, and if children go to bed late, it will reduce the secretion of growth hormones, affecting their normal height development. Appropriate exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormones, help bones grow faster, and contribute to increasing height.
