Doctor's advice:

• “The health of a child’s endocrine system largely depends on lifestyle and timely medical supervision. Daily physical activity (at least 60 minutes) supports healthy growth and hormonal balance. A balanced diet with sufficient protein, vegetables, and fruits, and limited excessive sugar intake promotes proper metabolism. Regular preventive check-ups help detect possible disorders at early stages, even in the absence of complaints. Early diagnosis is the key to harmonious growth and healthy child development.”
