What are the effects of diet and exercise on growth and development ?
How does having a healthy diet and the right amount of exercise affect the growth and development of a person ?
How does having an unbalanced diet and not getting enough exercise affect the growth and development of a person ?
Please help 🙂
Quite simply, malnutrition can stunt your growth. The body needs a number of nutrients to develop properly, calcium for bones, protein for muscle, any number of nutrients for various hormones including testosterone and HGH. Anything lacking in the diet means the body can’t adequately produce these things. (And of course trying to add these directly – especially testosterone – is a VERY bad idea.)
Exercise is less mandatory for development, however it can go a long way towards developing strength and preventing obesity. And being seriously overweight can mess up development in a number of ways including, but not limited to, diabetes.
