Excessive stress will cause endocrine dysfunction in human body, resulting in insufficient secretion of growth hormone and limited growth. In addition, too much pressure can also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. Children not only have a bad appetite, but also have poor absorption ability. In the long run, it will lead to malnutrition and it is very difficult to grow taller.
The secret of being tall and strong.
Although genetic restriction makes us "resigned", both doctors and nutritionists believe that the most effective way to "do our best" is to start with diet and cooperate with regular exercise.
It is not difficult for parents to make their children grow tall and strong as long as they master a few dietary secrets.
Observe the principle of balanced diet.
Children, like adults, should eat six kinds of food every day. Parents can refer to the daily dietary guidelines of the Department of Health to understand the dietary needs of children of different ages. (see table)
Adolescent children grow up quickly and their activities increase. In order to provide energy and nutrition for growth and development, the demand for heat is relatively high. Boys need to consume 2150 ~ 2,650 calories a day, and girls need 2100 ~ 2,200 calories.
Parents lead by example, not partial eclipse.
Many studies have pointed out that children's eating habits from childhood are most influenced by their parents. Weng Huiling, a nutritionist at National Taiwan University Hospital, believes that if children want to grow well, it is the most basic principle not to be partial to food. Parents should change as much as possible when matching their children with three meals, so that children can try all kinds of food from an early age. Eat a variety of foods, so don't worry about the lack of nutrients needed for growth.
Don't make negative comments about food in front of children.
For example, "Bitter gourd is so bitter, do you dare to eat it? A casual remark by an adult will make a child establish a specific impression on a specific food, which will later become an excuse for him to refuse to eat. Of course, don't use food as a tool to reward or punish children.
Teach children a balanced diet.
Most meals in modern dual-income families are eaten out, and many parents give their children money to buy their own lunch. Nutritionist Weng Huiling suggested that parents should pay more attention to their children's eating out, instill some healthy eating concepts in their children, such as eating less fried and fried things, choosing balanced and diverse dishes, and ingesting all six foods. "Parents can't control their children's diet, which will easily lead to malnutrition in the long run," she stressed.
Avoid making children fat or dieting to lose weight.
Li Junxian, a pediatrician at Guangxin Hospital, pointed out that the bone age of obese children progresses faster than their actual age because they consume too much calories, fat and sugar. Although their height is higher than other children from the beginning, they may not grow tall in the future because their growth period is compressed in advance.
In fact, it is very simple to prevent children from getting fat. As long as they limit the number of high-calorie foods such as hamburgers and French fries, drink less sugary drinks and exercise regularly, there will be no obesity problem.
In addition, nutritionist Weng Huiling believes that modern young girls are influenced by the slim figure of idol stars. Even if their weight is normal, they still go on a diet to lose weight, which not only misses the opportunity of growth and development, but also seriously affects their health as adults.
The golden time of growth and development is fleeting. If you want your child to grow tall and strong, seize the opportunity to practice Professor Jian Kang's "secret recipe for increasing height".
