What are the factors that affect children’s bone development?

The bones of newborn babies are not fully developed yet and are still relatively soft and not yet fixed in shape, so special attention should be paid to the bone development of newborns. Whether the bone development of newborns and young children is healthy depends mostly on the attention and correct guidance of parents, such as whether the sleeping posture is correct and whether the neck should be tilted to one side for a long time when the child is standing upright. Only by deliberately keeping the neck balanced can the bone development not be deformed. In addition, when children learn to walk, they must wait until their bones are well developed before learning to walk.

If things go on like this for a long time, sleeping in the same bed will cause the child's head and face to habitually tilt to one side, forming habitual or postural torticollis (one side of the face is larger than the other side), commonly known as crooked neck. Postural torticollis is usually caused by poor sleeping posture, cuddling habits, or some eye abnormalities. In general, the symptoms can be relieved by alternating between breastfeeding on the left and right sides or sleeping in a supine position. However, if you find that your baby's head and face are always tilted toward one side of the neck about two weeks after birth, you need to be alert to whether there is a lump on one side of the baby's neck. Once there is a hard lump that can be felt, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time, as this is most likely congenital muscular torticollis.

The bones of infants and young children have poor hardness and high elasticity. Especially for children under two years old who have just learned to walk, if parents pull them one-sidedly and upward for a long time, the child's center of gravity may shift easily, which is not good for bone development. In addition, because the annular ligament of the radial head at the child's elbow is weak, the radial head subluxation is also prone to occur. If the child suddenly falls while being led, dislocation may also occur. When walking hand in hand, you should pay attention to switching hands and gently lead the child's hand.

Because children's bones are in the development period when they are born and are not fully calcified, there is a circle of cartilage surrounding the bones. Children learn to walk within one year old. Due to unstable standing, they will exert force inward or outward, resulting in unbalanced development of the cartilage on both sides. Over time, it is easy to affect the development of the leg bones and cause knee valgum or knee valgum, which are the common O-shaped legs and X-shaped legs.

To sum up, most factors affecting children's bone development come from parents' help, correction and attention. Children are the hope of a family's future. In addition to meeting the nutritional needs of children through diet, parents should also pay special attention to the development of the bone shape of children at each stage. If necessary, external force should be used to help children correct bones that show signs of deformation, such as the common bow legs, pigeon-toed feet, pigeon-toed feet, etc. For the healthy development of children's bones, parents should pay attention to their children's growth.

Yoga weight loss exercises at home

What are some yoga exercises for weight loss at home?

Practicing yoga can improve your temperament and make your body lines softer. Especially for women, practicing yoga has many benefits. Not only can it improve your temperament, but it can also give you a slender waist, charming buttocks, and make you more confident and beautiful in life and work, allowing your youthful face to stay longer. So, what are the yoga moves that friends who don’t have time to go to the gym can practice at home? The editor has summarized some simple yoga moves that you can practice at home.

1. Fixed Shoulder Pose

First of all, sit in the Vajra posture and adjust your breathing. Then, cross your fingers and place them behind your head. Expand your elbows outward. At the same time, inhale slowly and then exhale. When exhaling, pay attention to pulling your right arm under the traction of your left hand. Lift your head slightly so that your right shoulder feels a certain pressure. During the whole process, keep your breathing even. After doing it once, change the direction of your arms. This time, use your right hand to pull your left arm. Straighten your back and neck. Return your hands to their original state. Keep it natural and readjust your breathing.

2. Crane Pose

Keep your body in a standing position with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Use your hands to support the ground so that the inner sides of your knees are lifted up by the upper sides of your upper arms. Keep your elbows bent and use all your strength in your arms. At the same time, lean your body forward with your feet off the ground. Maintain this position for a short while, then slowly bring your feet together and readjust your breathing.

3. Wrap around the shoulders

First of all, as in the Crane Pose, keep your body standing, open your arms, and place your fingers on your shoulders. Use your elbows to drive the shoulder joints forward. At the same time, concentrate your attention and focus your mind on your shoulders. After completing a set of movements, change direction and rotate again. At this time, the body's muscles produce an exercise effect, and you will feel the tightness and soreness caused by the traction. This is the effect of yoga. Afterwards, lift your elbows up and touch your hands behind your head. In addition, pay attention to sinking your elbows when exhaling, and upwards when inhaling. Repeat this several times. Afterwards, return your body to its original state, relax your body, and adjust your breathing. End the yoga exercise.
