Short children can grow again
For the immature children, their bodies are still in the growth and development, but the growth and development is very slow, giving people a kind of no longer long illusion. However, not reached the age of maturity, short and almost no longer long children, there must be some obstacles to growth and development, such as growth hormone secretion, suffering from thyroid disease, etc., as long as these diseases are cured, short children can continue to grow taller.
For short people who have grown into adults, as long as they are not too old, there are still ways to make the body grow a little taller.
According to the laws of bone growth and development, short people who have reached the age of 18 still have hope of growing taller until the age of 25 for men and 21 for women.
With treatments such as taking growth hormone and stretching the body's bones, it is possible to grow a little taller. It is best to take growth hormone under a doctor's supervision, and to stretch your bones under the guidance of a physician or physical education teacher who understands the laws of human growth and development to achieve the best results. Most of the results of this can make the short youth grow another 2 to 5 centimeters taller, and some as high as 7 centimeters.
There is also a scientific basis for growing taller
■ Guaranteeing a balanced diet
We need to pay attention to the nutritional balance of the diet. The general principle of the child's diet is to achieve a combination of coarse and fine grains, animal protein and plant protein, according to the seasonal selection of different vegetables and fruits, to ensure that children get enough vitamins and minerals every day.
In general, consider adding more protein-rich meat and eggs to your child's diet.
■Raising Good Eating Habits
The biggest bad eating habit of children is picky eating and partiality, parents can't rudely force their children to eat, but to patiently guide them in a gradual and orderly manner, as long as they are persistent, they will make their children gradually change the bad eating habit of picky eating and partiality. If it is due to digestive dysfunction caused by anorexia nervosa, should be appropriate to use drugs to regulate, strengthen digestion and absorption function, in order to prevent the production of malnutrition, affecting the child to grow taller.
■Good work and rest habits
The child's adequate sleep time varies according to age. Newborn babies need 18 to 20 hours, 16 to 18 hours at 2 to 3 months, and 15 to 16 hours at 5 to 9 months. Infants need 14 to 15 hours when they turn 1 year old, and 9 to 10 hours when they are 7 to 13 years old. 8 hours of sleep is usually enough for children over 13 years old. A good work and rest system is: the time to eat to eat, the time to study to study, the time to rest to try to relax, the time to sleep to go to bed, only to form a set of more fixed system of work and rest, is conducive to the child's growth and development, so as to grow into a taller person.
■How to grow high
Height can be as high as you want it to be, depending on several factors, first of all, genetic factors, accounting for 70%, in addition, depending on other conditions, including exercise, nutrition, environmental and social factors. In order to let the child grow a little taller, parents should pay attention to the following points:
One, do not miss the rapid growth period
In the process of children and adolescents in the development of puberty, when is the fastest growth in height? Research has confirmed that the vast majority of Chinese Han children's height surge peak for girls around 12 years old, boys around 14 years old; more than 90% of the fastest-growing age of the girl's height between 11 to 13 years old, boys between 13 to 15 years old. In order to let the child grow taller, parents should pay particular attention to the child in the rapid growth period of nutrition, exercise and other issues.
Two, should pay attention to nutritional supplementation
Nutrition is the key to children's physical growth. The energy, protein and amino acids needed for normal physical growth must be supplied by food, mainly meat, eggs, beans and legumes. Bone formation also requires adequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Insufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D deficiency will result in insufficient bone mineralization. Vitamin A deficiency will make the bone shorter and thicker, and vitamin C deficiency will make the interstitial formation of bone cells defective and brittle, all of which will affect the growth of bone. At present, the average family in the meat and vegetarian diet, nutrition should be comprehensive and adequate, parents should pay attention not to let the child to develop the habit of partiality, not to let the child too much snacking and affect the intake of important nutrients.
Three, do not ignore the sports exercise
Sports can strengthen the body's metabolic process, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate the growth of bone tissue, is beneficial to the human body to grow taller. The following sports have a certain effect on the increase in height, you may want to try.
1. Suspended swing using the bar or door frame, the height of the body hanging on the bar, toes just able to leave the ground as appropriate. Both hands hold the bar, the distance is slightly larger than shoulder width, feet together, then the body swings back and forth, the amplitude is not too large, the time should not be too long. Practice is best arranged in the morning every day, the body as loose as possible to sag, keep 20 seconds, male youth should do 10 to 15 times, female youth should do 2 to 6 times.
2. Jump up and touch high Jump up with both hands to touch a pre-set object, which can be a roadside branch, a basketball basket or the ceiling. Jump with both feet and do 30 reps. Rest for a moment, and then jump on one foot with the right and left foot, in the same way as above.
3. Ball activities When playing basketball, actively scramble for rebounds and jump up to break the ball; when playing volleyball, try to jump up and do more dunking and blocking action; in soccer, more practice jumping up to hit the forehead action.
4. Jumping exercises can be done between the marching single-footed jump, frog jump, triple jump, multi-level jump and jump in place. Fourth, don't forget to create a good living environment for the child Psycho-neurological abnormalities can also affect the growth of children's physical. If the parents are divorced, the relationship between the child and the guardian is not normal, often subjected to abuse, or the child is subjected to other serious stimuli, its growth rate will gradually slow down, so that the height of children of the same age and gender in the normal height of the lower limit. Physical shortness also aggravates the child's low self-esteem, due to psychological and social stimuli that affect the transmission of nerve impulses from the cerebral cortex to the hypothalamus, thus inhibiting the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. When the child's environment is treated well, the growth rate can return to normal.
Fifth, do not forget the active prevention and treatment of chronic diseases
Children and adolescents should be actively treated for chronic diseases. Long-term diseases such as chronic infection, chronic hepatitis, chronic nephritis, asthma, heart disease, anemia, etc. can affect growth and development. Genetic diseases of the skeleton, such as osteochondrodysplasia, can also limit bone growth How to make children grow tall and strong?
"Mom! It's all your fault that I was born so short," said Jiaxiang, who has been seated in the front rows of elementary school since he was a freshman, and complained angrily to his mother as he watched the gap between his height and that of his classmates grow wider. "Who told you not to drink more milk and not to exercise?" his mom replied in an irritable voice. His mom replied in a rude manner. When children are growing up, parents are not only concerned about their health, but also about whether they will be able to grow taller and stronger in the future. In pediatric clinics and online health consultation websites, we often see parents anxiously asking, "Doctor, why isn't my child growing taller? and "Does drinking more milk help?". Some anxious parents even go around looking for "height-enhancing" remedies in the hope that their children will grow a few centimeters more. However, some people believe that a person's height is genetically determined, and that nutrition and exercise do not play a major role. Is the height of a person predetermined by nature, or does he or she have to work hard? What can developing children do to stand a chance of being taller? The growth rate of a person's bones is the result of the growth and development of the skeleton, and it is mainly manifested in the growth of the bones of the lower limbs and the vertebrae. The growth of the lower limb bones is caused by the growth plates of the femur and tibia. The growth plates are located at the ends of the bones and are stimulated by the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, which produces cartilage. The new cartilage is calcified to form a hard bone, which makes the bones longer and wider.
Birth to the age of one is the fastest growing stage in a child's life, and then the pace gradually slows down until puberty, when sex hormones kick in and growth hormone interacts, and the child's height and weight begin to increase dramatically again. Dr. Wang Zhihong, an attending physician in the Department of Orthopedics at National Taiwan University Hospital, pointed out that the progress of a person's height should be evaluated in conjunction with the "bone age" (the age at which the bones are growing and developing), rather than just looking at the age of the general decision. Some children who mature early may have a faster bone age progression than their actual age, and their height may appear to be more prominent than that of children of the same age at the beginning, but this may not necessarily lead to a higher adult height in the future. How long we can grow depends on the closure of the growth plates throughout the body. If the plates are closed, it means that the skeleton has developed and matured, and the bones are no longer growing, and the height will not increase any further.
What factors influence a person's height?
Heredity determines your height
The most important determinant of a child's height is heredity. "The correlation between parental height and child height is as high as 80 percent, with each parent's influence accounting for half of the total," said Dr. Wang Zhihong, an attending physician in the Department of Orthopedics at National Taiwan University Hospital. So if both parents are not tall, the child's height will generally not be particularly prominent. However, there are exceptions to the rule. Mr. Yang, who works for a construction company, is just over 160 centimeters tall, and his wife isn't very tall either. However, both of his sons have broken the genetic limit, with one over 180 centimeters tall and the other over 170 centimeters tall, which his friends jokingly refer to as the work of the Yangs' "genetic mutation. In this particular case, Dr. Lee Chun-hsien, an attending pediatrician at Hsin Kuang Hospital, pointed out that a person's height is not determined by a single specific gene, and that most people have both tall and short genes, and that whether a person is tall or short depends mainly on which one of the genes is expressed, "so in a family, sometimes we see that one child grows up to be tall and the other is short," Lee explained. However, according to the physician, this kind of parents and children height difference of more than ten centimeters is purely a minority of the situation, most of the children after the completion of the development of the body type is still similar to their parents. Seeing this, many parents who are not tall may be greatly disappointed, since genes determine everything, the efforts of later life can be of any help? In fact, apart from genes affecting the height of a person's body, other related factors should not be ignored. "Assuming that genes dictate that you can grow up to 160 centimeters, but if you suffer from poor nutrition and insufficient exercise, you probably won't be able to grow up to that height," said Lee, who believes that acquired efforts are just as important. Nutrition and exercise can help grow taller Human growth is a comprehensive performance, in addition to genetic predisposition limitations, the following factors will also affect the child's future height:
▓ Nutritional intake
Adequate and balanced nutrition is definitely the key to make children grow taller. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recommendations, the nutrients that are essential for a child's growth include protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, the mineral magnesium, and zinc. Protein is the basic substance that constitutes and repairs muscles, bones and tissues in all parts of the body, and a lack of protein can lead to stunted growth and atrophy of bones and muscles. Animal foods such as meat, seafood and milk are complete sources of protein, while plant sources can be obtained from beans, cereals and nuts. Calcium, on the other hand, is the raw material for making bones, which promotes growth and increases bone density. So drinking two glasses of milk a day is a good way for your child to build up bone mass. Vitamin D is another nutrient that makes bones strong. In addition to milk and fish such as salmon and tuna, the human body can produce vitamin D on its own if it is exposed to the sun for 10 to 15 minutes every day. The mineral zinc is a nutrient that is especially important for infants' development. Research in the Netherlands found that insufficient intake of zinc during infant development can lead to stunted growth. In addition, several foreign studies have shown that children who consume enough zinc can reduce the incidence of diarrhea. Zinc-rich foods include meat, liver, seafood (especially oysters), eggs and wheat germ.
"Iron is also important for growth and development," added Weng Hui-ling, a dietitian at National Taiwan University Hospital. But according to the Department of Health's National Nutrition Survey, the nation's women generally have iron deficiencies above the age of 4, while men have higher rates of iron deficiency during puberty and in the elderly over 65. So growing children should eat some lean meat, animal liver, egg yolks or dark green vegetables to get enough iron.
▓Exercise
Many people believe that bouncy sports such as jumping rope and playing basketball help them grow taller, and this is true from a medical point of view. According to research, excessive compression of the growth plate can cause growth retardation, but moderate and intermittent compression or stretching of the growth plate can stimulate its growth. Therefore, children and adolescents who want to grow taller cannot afford not to do sports, especially bouncy sports. But excessive weight training, such as gymnastics and weight lifting, can hinder growth, and physicians recommend avoiding them during the growth phase.
▓Hormone secretion
The secretion of many hormones in the human body dominates or influences our growth and development, such as growth hormone, sex hormones, thyroxine, parathyroid hormone, insulin and so on.
▓Sleep
As mentioned earlier, human growth is mainly due to the action of growth hormone, and growth hormone is particularly strong at night when you sleep, so if you want to grow taller, don't stay up late and sacrifice sleep time, go to bed before 11 p.m. if possible.
▓Diseases
Congenital diseases of the heart, kidneys, lungs and liver, bone diseases, endocrine and metabolic disorders, and chromosomal abnormalities such as Turnur syndrome can all affect normal growth and development. In addition to a small number of people who grow shorter because of genetic factors in their family, if they are malnourished and can't grow taller, they can rely on supplementation to catch up, but if the growth abnormality is caused by a disease, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. A lot of parents are disturbed by how to determine whether their children's growth is normal or not, and they are sometimes even overly worried about it, forcing their children to eat desperately, or looking around for the secret formula of "height increase". Doctors suggest that parents can assess their children's growth in two ways: Measure their height every six months. Under normal circumstances, a child will grow at least 5 to 6 centimeters per year before puberty. If the child grows less than 4 centimeters per year, parents should take the child to a pediatrician for an evaluation and to learn more about the cause of the growth retardation. Refer to the growth chart in the Child Health Handbook. A child whose height is below the 3rd percentile of the same age group is considered pathologically short and needs to be examined and treated. However, parents should not be overjoyed when their child grows too tall. If the growth curve exceeds the 97th percentile for the same age group, the child may be abnormal and must be examined for confirmation.
▓Psychological factors
Excessive stress can cause the body's endocrine dysfunction, so that the secretion of growth hormone is insufficient, and growth is therefore limited. In addition, too much stress can make the gastrointestinal tract malfunction, the child not only has a bad appetite, the absorption ability is also poor, long-term lead to malnutrition, want to grow taller will be very difficult. Dietary Tips for Growing Taller and Stronger Although genetic limitations make it necessary for us to "listen to God's will", physicians and nutritionists believe that starting with diet, coupled with regular exercise, is the most effective way to "make the best of the situation". As long as parents can grasp a few dietary tips, it is not difficult to make their children grow taller and stronger. Adhere to the principle of a balanced diet. Children, like adults, should consume six major food groups every day. Parents can refer to the Department of Health's Daily Dietary Guidelines to understand the dietary needs of children of different ages.
Adolescents grow faster and are more active, so in order to provide the energy and nutrients they need to grow and develop, they have a higher calorie requirement. Boys need to consume 2,150-2,650 calories a day, while girls need 2,100-2,200 calories. Parents set an example by not favoring food. Many studies have pointed out that children's eating habits from childhood are most influenced by their parents. Weng Hui-ling, a dietitian at National Taiwan University Hospital, believes that if you want your child to grow well, not favoring food is the most basic principle. Parents should try to make as many variations as possible in the dishes they prepare for their children's meals, so that they can try a variety of foods from an early age. By consuming a wide variety of foods, you don't have to worry about a lack of the nutrients needed for growth. Don't make negative comments about food in front of your child. For example, if you dare to eat a bitter gourd that is so bitter, how can you eat it? If an adult makes a casual remark, it will create a specific impression of a particular food and become an excuse for the child to refuse to eat it later on. Of course, don't use food as a tool to reward or punish your child. Teach your child the concept of a balanced diet. Most modern dual-income families rely on eating out for most of their meals, and many parents give their children money to buy their own lunches. Dietitian Ms. Weng suggests that parents pay more attention to their children's eating out and instill in them some healthy dietary concepts, such as eating less fried and deep-fried food, choosing a balanced and varied menu, and consuming all six major food groups. "Parents can't keep track of their children's diets, which can lead to poor nutrition in the long run," she emphasized. Avoid letting your child gain weight or go on a diet to lose weight. Hsin Kuang Hospital pediatrician Li Junxian pointed out that obese children because of excessive intake of calories, fat and sugar, resulting in bone age progress faster than the actual age, although the beginning of the height than other children stand out, but because of the growth period ahead of time and be compressed, the future does not necessarily grow taller. Do not let children get fat is actually very simple, as long as they limit the number of high-calorie foods such as hamburgers, french fries, and drink less sugary drinks, with regular exercise, there will not be obesity problems. In addition, Weng Huiling dietitian believes that the modern young girls by idol stars slim figure, even if the weight is normal, still desperately trying to diet to lose weight, not only miss the opportunity to grow taller, development, and more serious impact on the health of adults. The golden time for growth and development is fleeting, so if you want your child to be high and strong, seize the opportunity to practice the "health" to teach you the "secret formula to increase height"
Children's growth is dependent on the right amount of exercise
Insufficient exercise during the day, the child has no appetite, and can not sleep at night. As a result, they become very sleepy in the morning and can't sleep at night. In the morning, they don't even eat breakfast and go to class, and then they drift through the day, and then they don't get enough exercise throughout the day, which is a vicious cycle. Exercise itself promotes the production of growth hormone. It puts people to sleep, and without saying it you know that this promotes growth hormone secretion. When the body is sufficiently exercised, the appetite can be increased and sleep can be achieved at night. In the morning, you can also wake up naturally with a clear mind, and after eating a good breakfast, you can start a new day with a good attitude.
What kind of exercise is beneficial
What kind of exercise should you do to grow taller? I've heard of children joining the basketball club at school in order to grow taller, but is it possible to grow taller just by playing basketball? Simply put, exercises that increase appetite, promote sleep, and put a certain amount of vertical pressure on the bones are good for growing taller. Specifically, jogging, jumping rope, dancing, playing basketball and volleyball are good for height growth. However, many basketball and volleyball players are already tall, so it would be a mistake to encourage children who don't like these sports to play them just for the sake of growing taller. Because emotional stability is also important for growth, let your child choose his or her favorite sport. However, it is better to let high school students, whose bodies have stopped growing, engage in intense sports that are overly physically demanding. Bone development comes in part from vertical pressure, but too much pressure (lifting weights, etc.) makes it difficult for bones to grow vertically. Exercises that help you get taller Exercises that don't help you get taller It's better to choose sports that your child enjoys: volleyball, basketball, ballet, stretching, jumping rope, jogging It's not good to force your child to do sports that he or she doesn't like: weight lifting, overdoing it, and doing sports that are too strenuous (marathons, etc.).
Short stature how to grow tall
Short stature of young people, in addition to some of the short stature caused by disease must be seriously dealt with by the doctor, most of them have to rely on their own efforts to dig out the growth potential of their own height. How to dig? In short, it is under the guidance of doctors and sports workers, adjusting diet and lifestyle, adhere to the special sports forging. On the adjustment of diet and lifestyle, there are the following suggestions for reference:
1. Reasonable regulation of diet, not partial food, not overeating, not only to ensure adequate nutrition, but also appropriate moderation. Don't smoke, don't drink;
2. Life should be regular, sleep should be sufficient, regular, the best sleep hard board bed, pillow should be lower than 5cm;
3. Pay attention to their own health care, no disease prevention, early treatment of disease. Read about short stature research and height growth and development of the book, read do not understand can consult a doctor, increase knowledge, with science to guide their own actions;
4. Maintain physical and mental health, rich recreational life, emotional stability, no worries and favorable growth and development. In recent years, some authors have reported that the duration of 1-2 hours of moderate physical activity, in a certain period of time can make the body wind growth hormone content increased significantly, with the increase in blood growth hormone content, that is, leading to the tubular bone growth zone live fall, thereby increasing height. It should be taken into account that neither small exercises (e.g. jogging, slow swimming, etc.) nor large exercises (e.g. marathon running, long-distance skiing, etc.) lead to an increase in height, the former due to insufficient stimulation, the latter due to the fact that they weaken the body to an extreme degree (e.g. a thousand jumps in a day and an excessive amount of heavy weight lifting with a heavy barbell can even prevent the growth of the long bones). Success depends on the right combination of different exercises. It has been suggested that prolonged activity in sports such as jumping, hanging weights, swimming, etc. does promote height gain. In our opinion, short-statured children and adolescents whose epiphyses have not yet closed, if the doctor believes that they do not suffer from short-statured diseases and there are no other medical contraindications, they should bravely start special physical training to increase their height. However, it is worth mentioning that the training should be gradual, especially in the early stage, do not make too much due to anxiety, should pay attention to self-feeling, if there is discomfort, should consult the doctor and physical education teacher. Help you stand up tall gymnastics Warm-up exercise: move the joints of the limbs, keep the spine straight, lean forward, arms straight and swing backward and upward. Walking: swing your arms greatly and walk forward vigorously. Running: small steps, while both fists on the shoulder, arms bent at the elbow in front of the rotation; fast running and jumping 25-50 meters, repeat 4-6 times, each time after a short break.
