1. Ensure sleep
The secretion of human growth hormone is unbalanced within 24 hours a day. 8% of growth hormone is secreted during sleep, and the peak of secretion is from 22: pm to 1: am every day, accounting for 2%-4% of the whole day, but it can only enter this period after a deep sleep. Therefore, if you want to grow taller, you must fall asleep before 9: 3 at the latest, and never stay up late.
2. Proper exercise
Exercise can promote the body's metabolism and accelerate the body's absorption of nutrients, which is an essential item to promote children's growth. If you want to grow taller through exercise, you should first avoid choosing heavy or excessive exercise, such as weightlifting, long-distance running marathon, weight-bearing exercise and so on. You can choose bouncing or stretching sports such as basketball, hurdles, pull-ups, skipping rope, etc.
It's a relatively simple way to grow taller by jumping up and touching the high place, and there is no limitation of venues and sports equipment. I suggest you try it.
3. Diet adjustment
Children and adolescents grow rapidly and need sufficient nutrients to give full play to their growth potential. Overnutrition and malnutrition are not conducive to children's growth. Let children grow taller, eat more high-protein and nutritious foods, and supplement calcium, vitamins and minerals. For example, drinking two cups of milk every day and eating eggs, beans, meat, vegetables and fruits are also essential. Never let children develop the habit of picky eaters and have a balanced diet.
4. Reduce stress
According to some data, prolonged cardiac hypertension will inhibit the secretion of growth hormone and affect the normal growth and development of children. Therefore, parents should strive to create a harmonious family atmosphere, not give their children too much pressure in study, strengthen parent-child interaction, warm their children with love, guide them to an optimistic life path, and let them grow up healthily in a relaxed and happy environment.
5. Hormone therapy
At present, children with familial short stature can be promoted by internationally recognized growth hormone therapy, which is generally effective and has few side effects. However, not any short child is suitable for use, and it must be determined by professional medical personnel after physical examination, bone age determination and necessary endocrine function test.
6. Factors affecting height
(1) Heredity: members of a nation or family are similar in height. For example, white people are generally taller than yellow people. In a family, if the parents are tall, the children are often taller. This can be said to be a congenital factor, which is related to heredity.
(2) environment: acquired factors also play an important role in bone growth.
① Nutritional factors, such as a reasonable proportion of calcium and phosphorus in food, are helpful to growth and height.
② Diseases can affect the development of bones. Such as pituitary diseases, too much or too little growth hormone can affect height. Sex hormones promote bone development. If a large number of sex hormones are produced prematurely (precocious puberty), people will grow up quickly in their youth, but they will be shorter than people of the same age when they mature.
③ Emotional fluctuation, reduced sleep and irregular life can all affect the whole body development and the function of endocrine organs, resulting in abnormal physical development.
④ Physical exercise can enhance physical fitness, which is beneficial to growth and height. According to statistics, teenagers who often take part in physical exercise can be about 4 cm taller than those who don't.
