How can children grow taller quickly?

The healthy growth of children is the greatest wish of parents. Abnormal situations are inevitable in the process of children's growth. In particular, some children grow very slowly. This situation makes parents particularly afraid and worried, fearing that their children will not be tall. Many parents especially hope that their children will be tall in the future. If you want your children to grow up healthily, you must pay attention to it in normal times. Let's learn how to grow taller healthily.

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 is how children can grow taller healthily. This is also the most common practice in normal times. However, children's growth is also affected by congenital or genetic factors. Another point that needs to be noted is that children's growth must be healthy and balanced. Do not be impatient for quick results and do not force things to happen. Such growth is not good for children.
