How can children grow taller?

I believe that many parents and friends had similar experiences when they were young. Their classmates would bully and laugh at the weak and short classmates. That feeling was really uncomfortable. Therefore, parents would hope that their children can grow tall. Besides, tall people have advantages in many aspects, including appearance. So, let's take a look at how children can grow taller.

Protein and minerals are essential. Teenagers aged 10 to 13 need 70 grams of protein every day, and those aged 13 to 18 need 80 grams. Drinking a glass of milk every day is the secret to growing taller. Among minerals, calcium, phosphorus and zinc must not be lacking. Also pay attention to helping chubby children lose weight, as being overweight will also affect their height.

One hour of outdoor activity is required every day. Exercise is a great way to promote growth and development.

Go to bed before 10 o'clock. Growth hormone secretion reaches its peak during deep sleep at night. Children aged 3 to 6 years old should sleep 10 to 12 hours a day; elementary school and junior high school students should sleep 9 to 10 hours; and high school students should sleep 8 to 9 hours a day. In order to enter a deep sleep state as soon as possible, it is best to let your child fall asleep before 10 pm.

Try to squat as little as possible. Squatting to play can lead to poor blood circulation in the legs and outward bending of the bones. When sitting on a chair, keep your back against the back of the chair. This posture helps keep the spine straight.

Wear loose-fitting socks. Clothes that are too tight will affect blood circulation, especially socks that tightly wrap around the ankles and are difficult to put on and take off. They will affect blood circulation in the legs and are not conducive to height growth.

Measure height every two months. Generally speaking, when a child's annual growth rate is less than 4 cm and the gap with children of the same age gradually widens, you should pay more attention and take your child to a pediatric endocrinologist for consultation and examination as soon as possible. Don't be superstitious about height-increasing supplements and don't use them blindly. Abuse of these health care drugs may lead to precocious puberty and be detrimental to height growth.

The above is a detailed introduction on how children can grow taller. I believe it is helpful for parents who want their children to grow taller. They just need to pay attention to daily diet, exercise, sleep, clothing, and movements, instead of blindly believing in advertisements and taking height-increasing drugs indiscriminately. This will not help the children, but harm them.
