Unexpectedly, he ended his height prematurely. "My son is less than 1.65 meters tall!" Zhejiang mother regrets: eating this earthy bone age | height | earthy
"How come your child's bone age has grown for over 2 years this year? Look here, there is only a small gap left in the epiphysis, at most 2-3 centimeters longer, and the final height cannot reach 165 centimeters." Wu Meizhen, Deputy Chief Physician of Pediatrics at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, pointed to the bone age film and explained. The wealthy parents widened their eyes and couldn't believe the fact in front of them.
The thought of making things worse could bring trouble to their son's life journey, and the couple fell into deep self blame and distress.
Using Earthmoving Machine to End Height in Advance
More than a year ago, 12-year-old Hao Hao accompanied his parents to the expert clinic of Director Wu Meizhen to inquire about growth and development issues. "At that time, he was 13 years old with a height of 156 centimeters and a weight of 40 kilograms. There were some developmental symptoms and signs. Based on his bone age, we predicted a height of around 170 centimeters, which is also within the normal range. It is recommended to have a follow-up examination from March to June."
Haohao's father is over 1.70 meters tall, while his mother is less than 1.60 meters tall. However, they expect Haohao to be even taller, at least 1.75 meters, with an ideal height of around 1.80 meters. As for boys, height will be valued in love and marriage. The doctor's prediction has greatly disappointed the couple and made them very unwilling. One day at a dinner party soon after, Haohao's mother was worried about her child's height when talking about it. Enthusiastic friends came up with suggestions, and one of them, the raised earth, made her particularly tempted. After discussing it, the couple decided to implement it.
The main ingredients of earthworks are Panax notoginseng, chicken, and sea cucumber. According to the requirements, stewed chicken with Panax notoginseng once a week and sea cucumber the next day... Not to mention, after eating it, Hao Hao has grown 5 centimeters in height for most of the year. But the parents were happy for a short time, and their mood gradually changed from sunny to gloomy. After that, Haohao's height almost did not grow in the past six months. Noticing something was amiss, a few days ago, the couple brought their son to the provincial capital again.
Director Wu Meizhen admitted that there is only a slight gap left in the epiphysis, with a maximum length of 2-3 centimeters. She analyzed the soil used by Hao Hao: "Sanqi has the effects of promoting blood circulation, stopping bleeding, and removing blood stasis. Stewed Sanqi has the effects of nourishing blood and promoting bone healing. Sea cucumber is a high protein food. Moderate amounts of Sanqi stewed chicken and sea cucumber have a certain effect on promoting height in children with insufficient intake of nutrients. However, excessive intake of Sanqi and high protein food can promote rapid progression of bone age, accelerate the closure of epiphyses, and cause children to lose their growth potential."
Encouraging with heart actually caused his son to end his height prematurely, causing his parents to feel remorseful. However, Haohao remained silent and his face turned ugly.
How to break height anxiety
In the era of child rearing, many parents are worried about their children from the inside out, including their school district, academic performance, appearance, and height. However, a series of issues such as whether a child's height is normal and what factors are affecting their height, limited to medical knowledge, have troubled parents and led to cognitive deficiencies. It is not uncommon for parents of wealthy families to become overly anxious about their children's height and seek medical treatment indiscriminately.
"A child's height is divided into a normal range based on age and gender, and as long as it falls within this range, there is no need for excessive anxiety. Scientific management of a child's height is necessary, and the best treatment opportunity should not be taken lightly." Director Wu Meizhen introduced that children's growth and development are regulated, and of course, genetics, endocrine, nutrition, diseases, living environment, etc. can all affect growth and development. Doctors will make comprehensive judgments and formulate countermeasures.
Director Wu Meizhen stated that a balanced diet for children is crucial, as nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc. are essential, but they all need to be balanced in moderation. Therefore, parents should not give their children health supplements at will, and they should be more cautious about folk remedies and so-called "height increasing secrets". In addition, selecting appropriate exercise based on the child's interests, hobbies, and physical conditions, ensuring sufficient sleep, is also an important factor in promoting the normal growth and development of the child.
Director Wu Meizhen suggests that parents should systematically understand the growth and development characteristics of their children and regularly evaluate their growth and development. The development of bones runs through the entire growth and development process. Bone age not only accurately evaluates the degree, speed, and level of human growth and development, but also has a significant correlation with human height. Bone age determination is an effective basis for evaluating remaining growth potential; Adolescent children should have their bone age checked every 3-6 months, and their growth problems should be detected, addressed, and corrected early.
