Question

How can growth and development be promoted more scientifically? Are there side effects to height-enhancing drugs?

Answer

Growth and development are influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, nutrition, activity, environment, and social factors. To promote growth scientifically, one should maintain a balanced diet, ensure adequate sleep, and engage in moderate exercise. It is recommended to avoid fad diets and overeating, to maintain a well-balanced nutrition, and to steer clear of smoking and alcohol. Maintain a regular lifestyle and ensure sufficient deep sleep; it is suggested to use a hard bed and a pillow that is more than 5cm high. Regular participation in sports such as basketball and skipping rope can help promote growth.
