In today's social environment, the importance of height to a person is self-evident, and having an ideal height is one of the expectations of every child and parent.

Having an ideal height will make a child more confident, and more importantly, it will give the child more options and a great advantage in choosing a spouse and a career.

Many parents also pay more and more attention to the child's height, from childhood to supplement a variety of milk, zinc calcium tablets, etc., but the effect is always poor.

Some time ago, a mother brought her child to the hospital to check, want to consult how much room for growth, she said the child is more than 13 years old, but the height is only 160cm, a lot lower than the same age. The X-ray film shows that the child's epiphysis is relatively thin, soon to be closed, before the closure of the height there is room for growth, but how much growth is different, because this and the future of the diet, exercise, sleep and so on have a relationship with the various aspects of the good will certainly be able to grow a little higher.

Many parents feel that the child's early growth is not high because of the late growth, but in our country there is very little late growth type, late growth type of proportion is less than 1/10, do not know, the child's height is the epiphysis of the decision.

So what is epiphysis?

The epiphysis is a layer of cartilage tissue between the diaphysis and the epiphysis of the long bones, which grows vigorously and can continuously produce osteoblasts to both sides, thus making the bones grow. It is called the epiphysis because it resembles a line on radiographs. Once the epiphysis closes, the potential for natural growth is lost. Normally, the epiphyses thin with age and typically close at the end of puberty, but the timing of closure varies depending on factors such as the child's nutrition and the onset of growth.

But before the closure of the epiphysis, there are often 2 characteristics, remind: before the appearance of these 2 characteristics, seize the opportunity to remedy

1. slow development, slowly grow fat

The general growth of the child is a certain law, into puberty, after the height of each year will be 6-7cm. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots, and you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots that you want to wear. When the height growth becomes slow, the continuous supply of nutrients will lead to lateral development and the child will start to grow meat and become fat. If these two conditions start to appear, you have to pay more attention.

2. appear secondary sexual characteristics

After entering puberty, the body will also appear a variety of changes, when the secondary sexual characteristics appear, such as the boy grows a mustache, change voice, have a laryngeal knots, etc., is also a sign that the epiphysis will be closed.

As we all know, about 60% of the height is related to genetics, sleep, exercise, nutrition and so on accounted for 40%, which is the main aspect of nutritional supplementation, because the human body is the result of bone cell division and proliferation, the growth of bones need a variety of nutritional support.

So, if you want your child to grow taller, you should do well in these 3 areas:

1.Attention to nutrition

To grow taller, you need to pay attention to the nutritional balance, and you can't be picky about what you eat. You can eat a lot of food with high protein and less desserts, drinks, snacks, etc.
