Question
My child is 5 years old and appears shorter than children of the same age. What should I do?
Answer
The child is doing well overall, but their height is slightly shorter than that of their peers, and no special treatment has been administered. You are inquiring about whether nutrition supplements can help the child grow taller and whether increasing the child’s activity level would promote nutrient absorption and height growth. It is suggested to drink more bone broth, as it is rich in collagen, although the calcium and phosphorus content is not very high. However, if the bones can be ground into powder for consumption, it would be more beneficial for bone growth and development. These are suggestions for addressing the child’s height issue, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you and your child good health!
