What are the tips on how to grow taller?

Some children always feel that they are not tall. Every time they compare themselves with their classmates, they feel that they are far behind and have some inferiority complex. Height has a lot to do with the genes of parents, but acquired height is also very important. Nutrition is one of the factors that affect height. So, are there any tips on how to grow taller? In fact, the goal of growing taller can be achieved through acquired efforts. Let me briefly talk about the methods of growing taller.

1. Don’t miss the rapid growth period: Most Chinese Han children have a peak height increase at around 12 years old for girls and around 14 years old for boys; more than 90% of girls have the fastest height growth at 11-13 years old and boys at 13-15 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 rapid growth period.

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 sufficient 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. Vitamin C deficiency will cause defects in the formation of bone cell matrix and make them brittle. All of these will affect bone growth.

3. Pay attention to physical exercise: physical exercise can strengthen the body's metabolic process, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, and accelerate the growth of bone tissue, which is beneficial to the growth of the human body. Physical exercise should try to choose vertical exercises such as horizontal bar, skipping rope, basketball, etc., which are helpful for children's growth.

4. Develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early: The peak period of growth hormone secretion is between 10-12 pm and around 5 am every day in a deep sleep state. Therefore, children should go to bed before 9 pm and get up after 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning to ensure better secretion of growth hormone.

There are some factors that cause children to not grow tall. Genetics is a big factor, but acquired factors also account for a certain proportion. What are the tips for growing taller? You can use some of the methods above to make yourself taller. In addition to ensuring physical nutrition, you also need to pay attention to acquired physical exercise. If you do this for a long time, you will definitely grow taller.
