What are some ways to help children grow taller?

With the continuous development of society, people pay more and more attention to knowledge and personal height and physique. Only with a good height and physique can you study and live better. For some sensitive children, short stature can cause a sense of inferiority psychologically. So for children who are short, what methods can be used to help them grow taller? It has become a worry for many parents. Well, let me recommend to you some common methods that can help children grow taller.

1. Don’t miss the rapid growth period: The peak of height growth for most Han Chinese children is around 12 years old for girls and around 14 years old for boys; more than 90% of girls have the fastest height growth between 11 and 13 years old, and boys between 13 and 15 years old. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay special attention to issues such as nutrition and exercise during their 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 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 cause bones to become shorter and thicker. Vitamin C deficiency will cause defects in the bone cell matrix and make it brittle, all of which will affect bone growth.

3. Pay attention to physical exercise: Physical exercise can enhance the body's metabolic process, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate bone tissue growth, and benefit the body's height growth. Physical exercises should include vertical exercises such as pull-up bars, rope skipping, and basketball, which can help children grow taller.

4. Develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early: When in a deep sleep state, 10-12 o'clock at night and around 5 o'clock in the morning are the peak periods of growth hormone secretion. Therefore, children should go to bed before 9 o'clock in the evening and get up after 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning to ensure better secretion of growth hormone.

The above are some commonly used methods to help children grow taller. In addition, it is recommended to reasonably arrange some foods that help bone growth and development in the three meals a day. You can also take some calcium tablets appropriately. In addition, regular physical exercise is also essential to growing taller. Half an hour of physical exercise every day can also help bone growth, such as playing basketball, volleyball and other bouncing sports.
