Why is May the growing season for children?

Why does May have the magic power to make children's height "crazy"? Some doctors believe that in May, the days become longer, the temperature is suitable, and children's outdoor activities increase, thus improving the quality of sleep at night, thus stimulating the secretion of growth hormone and helping children grow taller. Some experts have also analyzed that this may be related to the role of infrared radio frequency in sunlight, because in May, the proportion of infrared radio frequency in sunlight is the largest, and infrared radio frequency can promote human blood circulation and bone marrow hematopoiesis, improve metabolic rate, and thus improve children's absorption rate of nutrition. May has always been called "mysterious May" because the medical profession has not yet determined the real reason why children's bodies grow faster in May.

No matter what the reason, the "mysterious May" is coming, parents can give assistance in nutrition and life, and don't let their children miss the golden month with crazy height.

Assistance, possible growth plans

From birth to adulthood, with the development of the body, children's demand for nutrition will change at each growth stage. In order for children to grow tall and strong, besides ensuring a balanced diet and adequate nutrition intake according to their age, it is also important to help children develop some healthy habits in their daily lives.

iron

Iron deficiency will hinder the synthesis of hemoglobin and affect growth, intellectual development and immune function. Meat, poultry and fish are the most common sources of iron, and beans, broccoli and spinach also contain iron.

protein

Protein is the foundation of life, and the proliferation of bone cells and the development of muscles and organs are inseparable from protein. The faster children grow up, the more they need to supplement protein. Fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, peanuts and bean products are all rich in high-quality protein, so you can eat more in moderation.

folic acid

Folic acid, namely vitamin B9, plays a vital role in cell division, which is also one of the key processes behind the growth and development of infants. In order to ensure that children of this age can get enough folic acid, breastfeeding mothers should eat more foods with high folic acid content such as spinach or take folic acid supplements; Milk powder babies should drink formula containing folic acid. For details, please refer to the nutrition composition table on the milk powder package.

zinc (Zn)

Zinc helps maintain a healthy immune system, supports cell growth and repair, and helps optimize DNA production-all of which are important at any stage of life, but especially for infants. Breastfeeding mothers should supplement foods rich in zinc, such as nuts; As for baby milk powder, it is also necessary to check the nutritional composition table of milk powder to make sure that the product contains enough zinc.
