Question

The questioner is a 19-year-old male who has not grown taller since elementary school. He has always been very thin. At 18, he weighed only around 80 pounds. Is this due to malnutrition? What methods can be used to remedy the situation now?

Answer

For a 19-year-old, there is still potential for growth. It is recommended to increase physical activity, such as playing basketball, which can help with height growth. Being thin could be due to a poor digestive system. You might consider trying Chinese herbal medicine and improving your condition through dietary therapy, such as eating more yam. I hope the above suggestions will be helpful to you and wish you good health.
