Can I grow taller if my immunity is improved

Immunity improvement itself does not directly promote height growth, but for children who are still growing and developing, stable immunity is definitely an important "assist" on the road to height, at least it will not delay growth.

When I was working as a volunteer at a child growth and development clinic, I met two very typical boys. They were both 12 years old and had just entered puberty. Their genetic heights were both around 175. One of them had been having troubles since he was a child. He would catch a cold every time the season changed.

Nowadays, there are two polar opinions on this issue on the Internet. On one side, people who sell height-increasing health products link "improving immunity" and "growing taller" together, as if taking some lozenges to increase immunity can make you jump ten centimeters longer. This is purely an IQ tax—— The core prerequisite for growing taller is that the epiphyseal line is not closed. Coupled with the normal secretion of growth hormone, adequate nutritional supply, and adequate exercise and sleep, if the epiphyseal line has been completely closed, even if your immunity is strong enough to not have a fever for several years, your bones will not be able to grow longer.

Some people on the other side think that immunity has nothing to do with growing taller. This is too absolute. Think about it, if infectious diseases come to your door every three days, your body will first have to allocate most of its energy to fight against the pathogen. The nutrients and energy originally allocated to bone growth will be cut in half. Moreover, when you are sick, your gastrointestinal absorption function will also be affected. The calcium and high-quality protein you eat will not be absorbed properly, and your growth rate will naturally slow down. In serious cases, you may even be unable to make up for what you missed before.

Speaking of this, some people must want to ask, do you need to take supplements to enhance immunity in order to grow taller? It’s really unnecessary, you think, habits that can help you stabilize your immunity - such as eating everything without being picky, exercising outdoors for more than half an hour every day, going to bed early and not staying up late. These are also habits that help you maximize your growth potential. If you do these small daily things well, you don’t need to spend extra money, and you can take care of both ends. Isn’t it better than taking supplements indiscriminately?

Oh, by the way, if you have passed puberty, don’t worry about whether immunity can help you grow taller. Improving immunity can at most help you avoid getting sick. It is really useless to rely on this to grow taller.
