rydy:

May I know the Chinese name of this peanut plant?


So that we can ask the veggie aunty in the market...

Thanks!

The chinese name is 花生根. Can also approach chinese medicine hall to order dried one too. I did that for my customers before.

Can a 2-yr-old toddler drink this peanut soup? Does anyone know if there are any issues?


Tian Qi will have to wait until pri sch.

I know it's a bit KS but she's already in bottom 15-20 percentile in height. Both parents are also short. Just hope she hits average height only

TIA

I don't think there will much problem for a 2 yr old to drink. Just that not sure about how fast or good it will help in growing taller. Like what I also tell my customer, take in moderation not excessive, everything should be alright.

Yes, tian qi must wait until older a bit.

This is an interesting thread.


I'm 1.81m but my primary school boy is almost the shortest in his class.

He swims, plays basketball and black belt karate.

I do remember I was quite short too until Sec 3 when I started to engage in many different kind of sports. Then I started to grow taller.

This peaunt thingy sounds amusing, maybe I will give it a try.

I have a very good guy friend who is quite short and he played basketball since P3 or P4. What he told me was, before the growing stage, if exercise too early and develop muscle, then won't grow tall much. How true not sure. But he claims that he is the testimony, and now, another example. So maybe, for boys should not engage in too much exercise before puberty.

Girls too? i.e should not engage in too much exercise before puberty

Hmm, maybe. I think I remember seeing somewhere, when girls start ballet too early and develop the muscles, some of them are a bit short too. But I think need more statistic on that.

To all the anxious parents, here's the formula looking into crystal ball, to predict how tall your children will be :

I think that make sense. I myself grew much taller when I started playing basketball almost everyday during the year-end school holidays at the age of 14

Yes, peanut plant with roots and black chicken. A must have soup from my mum in law for any of her grandchildren around 13. So far so good. Even the girls are about 1.68m at least.

Hi peggy,

what exactly is \"peanut plant with roots\" ? how to pronoun in Chinese.

Thanks.
