How to grow taller???
-
Exercise really helps-especially basketball, netball. My brother grew from 1.6 m to 1.82 in 2 years (14-16) when he was on his school basketball team.

My kid's Pediatrician says \"sleeping a lot when young helps to boost height\" ... do not know about teenages.
I heard about this too... and true enough, those kids that I know who slept late, are generally quite petitie.

Try 田七 powder. It is supposed to 活血. A lot of my friends giving their boys that and my DS also started taking this recently.
It can be in pill form (from Eu Yan Sang) - there are 2 types: one pure 田七only (about $10 for a bottle of 30 pills), the other 田七 plus american ginseng (about $60+ for a bottle of 30 pills). 田七 is supposed to be heaty and the american ginseng will help cool the body so it will not be too heaty.
You can also buy 田七 from medical hall and boil with chicken for the soup. For growing, it is better for daily consumption so pill may be more convenient.
For girls, take note that near / during / slightly after menses should stop consumption of this herb as it is 活血 so not suitable for consumption during that period of the month. -

My niece was complaining that she’s the shortest in her class and she doesn’t seem to be growing anymore. So my mum heard from her network that this peanut soup thing is supposed to promote growth. So for a period, every weekend there’s peanut soup for dinner. I think it went on for about 3 or 4 weeks until we protested. Told my mum to prepare only for my niece since she is the one who wants to grow taller. Rest of us, no hope of growing taller can only grow sideways.

Hi Funz, so did the peanut soup help in any way? Did your niece grow any taller? I just boiled peanut soup with black chicken yesterday. Added lotus roots too. Giving it a try, hoping DD will grow taller.

The long pill form capsules. DS opens the pills and put the contents into his milk in the morning. He doesn't like to swallow it. My fren's DS just pop in the pill and swallow with water.

Thanks. Your DS is so brave to drive the powder mixed into his milk, as I'm sure it is quite bitter.
