How to maximize your child’s height potential? Children's height growth occurs at a certain stage. The younger the child, the greater the potential to grow taller. The effect of heightening is the best, which is the perfect opportunity for parents and doctors to help their children grow taller. So, how can children gain confidence from their height advantage? The following tips for growing taller can help children fully realize their height potential, and they are summarized into five height-growing rules for efficient growth.

Rule 1: Height Monitoring

Tracking a child’s growth can help parents monitor basic conditions that may affect their child’s growth. Monitoring height is necessary.

1. Measure the height correctly

Let the child stand upright against the wall and take off the shoes to prevent them from affecting the child's height. The ground should be level to obtain the most accurate readings. Make sure your child's heels are together and touching the wall. You should also remove any hair accessories etc. that may interfere with the measurement.

Place a flat object above your child's head. You can do this using a hardcover book or a hard ruler. Keep your eyes level with the top of your child's head. Gently press a flat object against your child's head, making sure the object is at right angles to the wall.

Use a pencil to leave a small mark on the wall, or you can stick a piece of paper on the wall and mark it. The measurement data is accurate to 0.1 cm. You can measure multiple times and take the average.

2. Correctly assess height

How to know whether the child's growth and development is normal, and how to grasp the child's own growth and development patterns? This requires the use of growth and development curves.

The growth and development curve is drawn by detecting the development process of many normal children. The entire curve is composed of several continuous curves.

●The bottom curve is 3, which means that 3 children will be below this level and may have growth retardation;

●The top curve is 97 , meaning that there will be 3 children above this level who may have rapid growth.

Both situations should be cause for concern. The middle curve is 50, which represents the average.

Mark your child's height and age on the chart to determine the percentile for your child's height. If your child's measurements are below the 3rd percentile, or above the 97th percentile, contact the doctor as soon as possible with this information.

Measure your child's height every three to six months and plot a growth curve. The growth curve can tell you whether your child's growth rate is normal. For example, if your child moves from the 75th percentile to the 75th percentile At the 25th percentile, the growth rate is significantly slower. This change may be related to nutrition, underlying chronic diseases (such as heart disease or kidney failure), or abnormal hormone secretion (such as growth hormone, thyroid hormone). A pediatric endocrinologist or child care physician should be consulted promptly and relevant detailed examinations should be performed.

Rule 2: Nutritional balance

Children and teenagers who are in the growth and development period should pay attention to nutritional balance in their diet: a combination of meat and vegetables, including a combination of animal and plant proteins, animal and vegetable fats, Match refined grains with coarse grains.

When cooking, you can use less sugar, less salt, less soy sauce, MSG and other seasonings, and use more steaming, boiling, stewing, stir-frying, and cold salad. When using cooking methods such as frying and frying, try to use vegetable oil, and Properly control the amount of oil.

Diet and health are inseparable. As early as in the "Huangdi Neijing", the dietary advice of "five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, and five vegetables are for supplement". Chinese Children’s Balanced Diet Abacus emphasizes the importance of balanced nutrition! In order for children to obtain adequate nutrition for physical growth, they must eat well and be full. The diet should be a mixture of various foods to complement each other. Pay attention to the balanced and diversified nutrition of three meals a day, and children's picky eaters and snacks must be corrected.

Rule 3: Good sleep

Good sleep will promote the production of pituitary growth hormone. It is recommended that children sleep at least 8 hours a day on average.

Because growth hormone secreted during sleep can help children grow taller.

Deep sleep is the guarantee for children to grow taller and energetic. Doing the following three things can help your children get better sleep and help them achieve higher goals.

1. Establish a regular sleep schedule

Adolescents under the age of 18 need at least 8.5 hours of sleep every day. If you need to get up around 7 o'clock, your bedtime should be before 10:30 p.m.

The purpose of setting a time point is to train the brain to make the biological clock more regular, so as to better urge the child to complete the height growth plan according to the goal, which requires a fixed time every day. When the clock reaches 10:30, the body automatically goes to sleep. At seven o'clock in the morning, it's time to get up. The specific time period can be determined based on actual conditions.

Once you set a schedule, stick to it. Go to bed on time every night. Although sometimes plans may be disrupted due to objective reasons, don't take a break too late, and stick to the scheduled schedule even on weekends.

Sticking to a regular sleep schedule also includes getting up on time. Although it's tempting to sleep in a little longer, napping won't improve the quality of your sleep; it will only affect your schedule.

2. Good sleeping environment and bedtime habits

Try to keep the sleeping environment as calm as possible, eliminate noise and unnecessary light as much as possible, and avoid brain excitement one hour before going to bed.

Develop a fixed bedtime habit. Bedtime habits can include taking a bath, reading, listening to soothing music, and other things that can help you relax, so that your child can have a better sleeping mood.

3. Stretch your muscles before going to bed

Doing simple stretching before going to bed can help you grow taller. Take your time and don't force yourself to do difficult stretches. Keep your body as straight as possible and your spine as straight as possible. Lie on the bed with your arms and legs extended toward the foot of the bed. Stretch your limbs and let your body relax completely.

Rule 4: Exercise regularly

If you want to give full play to your growth potential, you must emphasize the word "regular" in exercise. Any "three days of exercise and two days of laziness" is just an "excuse" for not growing taller.

You need to instill sportsmanship in your children's daily lives. Letting him stretch every day, run around freely, and have fun are also tips for growing taller! Remind him that these movements are vital for him and his developing bones. Stretching can really help children grow taller, especially if done regularly. Spinal extension exercises are very common in height-increasing exercise programs.

Encourage your child to exercise regularly. Observe his favorite sport and support him in his pursuit of excellence! Exercise is another way to introduce height, and yes, one of the easiest ways for your child to grow.

Rule 5: Obtain HGH

Growth hormone (HGH) is an indispensable component for human growth and plays a decisive and vital role in the process of growing taller. It is the only hormone that can make bones grow linearly. If growth hormone is lacking or insufficient, human growth will be slow, eventually leading to short stature.

The secretion of growth hormone is also related to the peak growth period, especially during adolescence. Under the synergistic effect of sex hormones, the daily secretion of growth hormone will increase significantly. As growth matures, the secretion of growth hormone gradually decreases. At the same time, as development matures, the epiphysis at the distal end of the long bone gradually closes, and the growth space gradually becomes smaller until it stops growing.

Therefore, during these critical periods of growth and development, effective HGH acquisition is of great help to height growth. At this time, parents should start from many aspects such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc. to help promote the secretion of their children's own growth hormone. If the child is really short due to growth hormone deficiency, he still needs to seek medical treatment in time and use human growth hormone produced by genetic engineering recombinant technology. Injections are also a way to increase height.

These five "height-growing rules" will not only give children a tall figure, but also help them develop good living habits and an active lifestyle.
