Some children are short or tall because their parents are. But some children have growth disorders. Growth disorders are problems that prevent children from developing normal height, weight, sexual maturity or other features. Very slow or very fast growth can sometimes signal a gland problem or disease. The pituitary gland makes growth hormone, which stimulates the growth of bone and other tissues. Children who have too little of it may be very short. Treatment with growth hormone can stimulate growth.
Conditions that affect the body can also affect hair growth. Thatâs because your hair health reflects your overall health. In some cases, exercise boosts body health and thus promotes a strong hair growth cycle. Exercise can be especially helpful in mitigating conditions that hormone imbalances contribute to, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, in which women suffer unwanted hair, as well as in improving conditions such as diabetes, which can lead to hair loss.
