It is usually during sleep, so nutrition at night must be balanced.
Whether your height is as desired depends on several factors. The first is genetic factors, which account for 70%. In addition, Depends on other conditions including exercise, nutrition, environmental and social factors. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay attention to the following points:
1. Don’t miss the rapid growth period
During the adolescent development process of children and adolescents, when does height increase? What's the fastest? Studies have confirmed that the peak height growth of most Chinese Han children is around 12 years old for girls and 14 years old for boys; more than 90% of girls have the fastest height growth between the ages of 11 and 13, and boys Between 13 and 15 years old. In order to make their children grow taller, parents should pay special attention to their children's nutrition, exercise and other issues during the period of rapid growth.
2. Pay attention to nutritional supplements
Nutrition is the key to children’s physical growth. The energy, protein and amino acids required 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 calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency will cause insufficient bone mineralization, vitamin A deficiency will make bones shorter and thicker, and vitamin C deficiency will cause bone cell interstitial defects to form and become brittle, all of which will affect bone growth. .
At present, the average family should have comprehensive and sufficient nutrition in a meat-and-vegetarian diet. Parents should be careful not to let their children develop the habit of partial eclipse, let alone to let their children eat too many snacks. Affects the intake of important nutrients.
3. Don’t neglect exercise
Exercise can strengthen the body’s metabolic process, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate the growth of bone tissue, and is beneficial to the body’s growth. The following exercises have certain effects on increasing height, so you might as well give them a try.
1.? Hanging swing: Use a horizontal bar or a door frame. The height should be such that your body hangs on the bar and your toes can just leave the ground. Hold the bar with both hands, with the distance slightly wider than shoulder width, put your feet together, and then swing your body back and forth, not too much, and not for too long. The practice is best arranged every morning, with the body as relaxed and sagging as possible, and held for 20 seconds. Young men should do it 10 to 15 times, and young women should do it 2 to 6 times.
2. Jump up and touch the height. When jumping, use both hands to touch the preset objects, which can be roadside branches, basketball hoops or ceilings. Jump with both feet and do 30 times. Rest for a moment and jump on one foot on the left and right feet respectively. The method is the same as above.
3. Ball activities When playing basketball, actively fight for rebounds and jump to steal the ball; when playing volleyball, jump as high as possible and do more smashing and blocking actions; practice jumping more in football Forehead batting action.
4. Jumping exercises: You can do one-legged jumps, frog jumps, triple jumps, multi-level jumps and vertical jumps while walking.
4. Don’t forget to create a good living environment for your children.
Abnormalities in the mental and nervous system can also affect the physical growth of children. For example, if the parents are divorced, the relationship between the child and the guardian is abnormal, the child is often abused, or the child is subject to other severe stimulation, the growth rate will gradually slow down, causing the height to be below the lower limit of the normal height for children of the same age and gender. . Short stature will aggravate the child's inferiority complex. This is because the psychological and social stimulation the child receives affects 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.
5. Don’t forget to actively prevent and treat chronic diseases
Chronic diseases in children and adolescents should be actively treated. 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 bones, such as osteochondrodysplasia, etc., can also limit bone growth
