When does a person get up in the morning and get taller?
The height of getting up in the morning is slightly higher than that at night, but generally it will not exceed 2cm, which is normal. Due to standing, running, sedentary, exercise and the gravity of the earth during the day, the spine bears heavy load and oppression, making the intervertebral disc thinnest at night.
At night, due to the gravity of the earth and some hard work, the gap between joints may become smaller, so there will be symptoms of being slightly short. Get up in the morning and rest at night, the human body will relax and the joint gap will become larger. So people will be taller when they get up in the morning.
What does height have to do with it?
A person's height is related to the following factors:
1, heredity, heredity can play a decisive role of 50%-60%.
2. Gender, influenced by the level of gonadal hormones, the growth rate and final height of boys are significantly higher than those of girls.
3. Age and height of teenagers have been basically determined before and after puberty. With the development of secondary sexual characteristics, the epiphysis of long bone is closed and the height is basically determined.
4, nutrition, in the period of rapid growth and development, adequate intake of protein and calcium is the basis of growth. Therefore, children should get more sunshine, properly supplement vitamin D and calcium, and ensure adequate intake of protein.
5, exercise, exercise can promote height, especially running, jumping, stretching and so on.
6, some diseases, such as chronic liver disease, chronic kidney disease, hypothyroidism, etc. Chronic diseases in childhood, in particular, easily affect the growth rate and the final height.
Why not grow taller?
Adults will not grow taller, usually because the epiphyseal cartilage has been completely ossified and the epiphyseal plate has been closed.
Adult epiphyseal cartilage has been completely ossified, and the epiphyseal plate has been closed, so it can't grow taller. We should seize adolescence, which is the last age before adulthood. Do more exercise, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and avoid staying up late to grow taller. Whether a person can grow taller depends mainly on whether the metaphyseal cartilage is completely ossified and whether the growth plate is closed.
For adults, the metaphyseal cartilage has been completely ossified, and the epiphyseal plate has been closed, so it can no longer grow taller. The epiphyseal cartilage of children and adolescents is usually not completely ossified and the epiphyseal plate is not closed, so it still has the potential to grow taller.
Usually, patients should develop good living habits, take appropriate outdoor exercise and pay attention to a balanced diet, which is conducive to physical development.
