Accepted Answer

Generally speaking:: Blunt injury(skin not lacerated) to the abdomen can cause
bleeding into the abdominal muscles(hematoma),which would be self limited.Injury to the fragile spleen is unlikely unless the blow was in the left upper abdomen near rib cage. Injury to internal organs is possible but less likely as

you need to see a physician for an accurate diagnosis

Question 7

does sleep play a big role in height for teens?

Accepted Answer

Maybe/not : Adequate sleep will permit growth to achieve its genetic potential while poor sleep may not.  I do not know of any studies specifically linking sleep to height or how you could get anyone to pay for them. Research is either interest based or profit driven. Height is only one outcome parameter that general population studies provide us data. Poor health &amp; nutrition practices impair outcomes.

Question 8

what is a good way to lose inches round your belly for teens?

Accepted Answer

Teen age weight: The best way to loose weight is with control of diet and exercise.  For most teens the fastest way to do this is to cut out sugary beverages from their diet (soda, juice, coffee drinks, gatorade, etc).  From one 12oz sugary drink each day in addition to all the regular foods a person will gain almost 20lbs per year! cut that out and fast weight loss.  Healthy weight loss is 1-2lbs/week.
