Many parents are confused. They think their children are not short, but they think they are short. Parents' anxious children are not as tall as their peers; Not long in recent years, afraid that children will become "dwarfs" in the future; Parents are very tall, but their children don't seem to develop well, fearing that their children will not grow tall; Does short parents mean that children must be short? Wait, wait. Of course, these phenomena have all been mentioned. Teacher Gao, who helps with health management, pointed out that all these phenomena of children growing taller have a * * * nature, that is, judging by subjective feelings, some may have scientific basis, and some are actually just alarmist. Of course, children have individual differences, and the specific situation must be treated specifically.
18 years old. Is there any longer chance?
Teacher Gao, who helps with health management, pointed out that by the age of 18, which is what we call adulthood, is there any chance of growing up? This is a problem that puzzles many teenagers and parents. According to textbooks, there are two periods of rapid growth in a person's life. The first period is when a person is born 1 year, and his body length increases by 20 to 25 cm. At the age of 2 and 3, the annual growth rate is about 10 cm, and after the age of 3, the growth rate decreases and maintains a relatively balanced growth; The second period, from adolescence. The average girl is 9- 1 1 year old, and the boy is11-3 years old. Puberty can increase by 6 to 8 cm every year, and a few people can reach 10 to 12 cm. Theoretically, after puberty, development stops. However, the problem came out. Individuals in adolescence vary greatly. Some children are early, and some children are late. I believe that readers have seen friends around them in their lives. I'm 20 years old, and I'm still growing every year, especially for boys. As far as my experience is concerned, 18 years old is definitely not the finish line of growth and development. As long as the height is well evaluated, the relevant inspections are sufficient, practical goals are set, and scientific plans to help the height are implemented, there is still room.
How to help children grow taller
1, don't miss the rapid growth period.
The height of most Han children in China is about 12 years for girls and 14 years for boys. More than 90% of the girls are between 1 1- 13 years old and the boys are between 13- 15 years old. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay special attention to their nutrition and exercise during the rapid growth period.
2. Pay attention to nutritional supplements.
Nutrition is the key to children's physical growth. The energy, protein and amino acids needed for normal growth of the body must be provided by food, mainly meat, eggs, beans and beans. Bone formation also requires sufficient calcium, phosphorus and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Insufficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency will lead to insufficient bone mineralization, vitamin A deficiency will make bones shorter and thicker, and vitamin C deficiency will make bone cells brittle and affect bone growth.
3. Pay attention to physical exercise
Physical exercise can strengthen the metabolic process of human body, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate the growth of bone tissue, and be beneficial to human body length. Physical exercise should try to choose vertical sports such as horizontal bar, skipping rope and basketball, which will help children grow taller.
4. Get into the habit of going to bed early and getting up early
When sleeping, the peak of growth hormone secretion is at night 10~ 12 and around 5 am, so children should fall asleep before 9 pm and get up after 6: 30 or 7 am to ensure better secretion of growth hormone.
