A few years ago, Wang Li gave birth to another son, who is 5 years old this year. The photo taken in kindergarten is always the one on the edge. Worried that her son is not tall, Wang Li took her son to the hospital and found the director of endocrinology who treated her daughter, hoping to inject growth hormone into her son so that he could grow to at least 170cm when he became an adult.
The doctor found that the child was in good health and the bone age was consistent with his age. By calculating the genetic height, I knew that the child could grow to 167cm, so I declined Wang Li's request.
She was surprised by the difference between before and after the doctor. Why can a daughter be treated with growth hormone but not a son? In fact, growth hormone is not a panacea for children's growth. Abuse of growth hormone will lead to the opposite result.
First of all, taking growth hormone does lead to high blood pressure.
What is growth hormone? Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by human pituitary gland and consists of hundreds of amino acids. The role of growth hormone is to promote the synthesis of protein, thus promoting the growth of human bones, internal organs and other parts of the body. At the same time, growth hormone will also affect the metabolism of human fat and minerals. Generally speaking, growth hormone plays a vital role in the process of human growth and development.
Messi, a world-famous star, was diagnosed as dwarfism by doctors at the age of 1 1, precisely because of the lack of growth hormone water in his body. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, his height is only equivalent to that of an ordinary 8-year-old child. However, through the treatment of injecting growth hormone, Messi finally grew to the height of 1.7 meters and became a world-famous football star.
Yes, growth hormone does promote the growth of people's height. As mentioned above, growth hormone is beneficial to promote the growth and development of skeletal muscles and organs, and at the same time stimulate the metabolism of bone cells and the growth of articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage, thus improving the height of children.
In addition to increasing height, growth hormone also plays other quite important roles in the growth and development of human life. Once the growth hormone level is lower than the normal range, it will lead to hypoglycemia, thyroid dysfunction, sexual organ dysplasia, growth retardation and so on.
Second, not every short child can use it.
Since auxin can effectively increase the height of children, can all children grow taller by injecting growth hormone? This is absolutely not feasible. Growth hormone is not a specific drug for children, and the consequences of abusing growth hormone are unimaginable.
Congenital growth hormone deficiency, chronic renal failure, small for gestational age, idiopathic short stature and other people are suitable for treatment by injecting growth hormone, thus improving the height level.
If growth hormone is not used correctly, that is, abused, the height can not be improved, but may be inhibited. Abuse of growth hormone will lead to premature closure of children's epiphyseal line, but it will not reach the proper height level. In addition, excessive growth hormone can also lead to acromegaly and other diseases.
Third, if you want your child to grow taller, the key is to look at these.
The golden period of human growth has three stages, namely, 4-6 years old, 10- 16 years old and adolescence, that is, 16-25 years old. These three periods are preschool, school age and adolescence.
In these three golden periods, children have adequate nutritional supplements and healthy exercise, which is of great benefit to the progress of children's height. What measures should be taken in life to improve height?
1. Healthy eating
For children during their growth and development, it is one of the important prerequisites not to be picky about food and partial eclipse. A balanced diet ensures that children get enough high-quality protein every day and supplement vitamins and trace elements. In addition, we should avoid eating junk food and reduce excessive sugar intake.
2. Continuous healthy exercise
Scientific and effective exercise can promote human blood circulation, strengthen metabolism, and is conducive to bone growth and development.
3. Good sleep level
The human body will repair itself during sleep, and the muscles and brain will be fully rested and relaxed, so as to better achieve the effect of growth and development. Human growth hormone secretion is the strongest during sleep, so adequate and high-quality sleep is of great benefit to people's height growth.
optimistic
Negative psychological level will affect the physiological state of the body, which is manifested by inhibiting the secretion of growth hormone and other hormones, thus affecting the growth of height level. In addition, long-term depression will affect appetite and sleep quality, and it will also have a negative impact on the growth and development of height.
Only by standing high can you see far. Outstanding height level will help children stand out. Starting from today, healthy diet, scientific exercise and optimistic attitude will gradually increase the height and thickness of life and live up to the good times.
