Question
A 14-year-old adolescent with a height of 162 cm has been growing an average of only 1 cm per year since the age of 12. They wish to understand how to effectively treat growth slowing to promote height increase?
Answer
Height increase is influenced by various factors, including genetics and postnatal nutrition intake. It is recommended to adopt a balanced diet, ensure adequate nutrition, consume sufficient vitamins and trace elements, and engage in moderate physical exercise to fully tap into the potential for height increase. Additionally, during the treatment of growth slowing, the patient’s dietary habits and mental state are also very important. It is advised to maintain a light diet and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary impact on the recovery from growth slowing.
