The growth and development of children, as well as their height, are related to many factors such as heredity, diseases, and nutritional balance. We should focus on the following aspects:

Firstly, a balanced diet. We can follow the recommendations of the food pyramid for proper nutrition.

Secondly, we should increase outdoor activities, dedicating about 1 to 2 hours daily.

Thirdly, ensure adequate sleep.

Fourthly, supplement with vitamin D and calcium.

For indigestion, Western medicine has some medications, but they must be prescribed by a doctor and self-medication is not recommended. There are also some gentle traditional Chinese medicines, such as pediatric herbal tonics and children’s digestive pills, suitable for children with indigestion and weak constitution, aimed specifically at strengthening the spleen and stomach.

Good digestion and absorption are essential for actual growth.
