Question
A 12-year-old individual inquires about how to promote height growth, currently standing at 1.42 meters, with no relevant laboratory or examination results and no prior treatment. They hope to receive expert advice.
Answer
It is advised that promoting height growth primarily depends on the intake of nutrition and adequate rest. In terms of nutrition, focus should be on the intake of protein, calcium, and vitamins, such as fish, lean meat, poultry eggs, as well as milk and soy products which are rich in calcium. Additionally, ensuring sufficient sleep and moderate exercise also contribute to height growth. It is recommended not to have a preference for certain foods or to diet, maintaining a balanced diet habit.
