What are some ways to grow taller at the age of 12?

People with short stature always look like children in the eyes of others. When standing in a line, I always stand at the front. During class, as soon as the students in front of me look up, they are blocked. If there is anything, the teacher will call on the tall boys. In sports competitions, few short people are chosen to represent the class in running or high jumping, and sometimes they are even bullied by senior students. Well, let me tell you how to grow taller.

For short teenagers, except for some whose short stature is caused by illness and must be treated seriously by a doctor, most of them have to rely on their own efforts to tap their height growth potential. How to dig? In short, it is to adjust diet and lifestyle and adhere to special physical exercise under the guidance of doctors and sports workers.

Regarding adjusting your diet and lifestyle, the following suggestions are for your reference:

1. Adjust your diet reasonably, do not be picky eaters, do not overeat, and ensure adequate nutrition while exercising appropriate moderation. No smoking, no drinking;

2. Live a regular life, get enough sleep and sleep regularly. It is best to sleep on a hard bed, and the pillow should be less than 5cm;

3. Pay attention to your own health, prevent diseases when you are healthy, and treat diseases early if you are sick. Read some books about short stature research and height growth. If you don’t understand, consult a doctor to increase your knowledge and use science to guide your actions.

4. Maintaining physical and mental health, enriching cultural and entertainment life, maintaining emotional stability, and being worry-free are beneficial to growth and development.

In recent years, some authors have reported that 1-2 hours of moderate physical exercise can significantly increase the body's growth hormone content over a certain period of time. As the growth hormone content in the blood increases, it leads to the activation of the growth areas of tubular bones, thereby increasing height.

It should be taken into account that neither low-intensity exercise (such as jogging, slow swimming, etc.) nor high-intensity exercise (such as marathon running, long-distance skiing, etc.) will increase height. The former is because of insufficient stimulation, while the latter is because it makes the body extremely weak (for example, completing a thousand jumps a day and excessive heavy barbell weightlifting exercises can even hinder the growth of long bones). Success depends on the right combination of different exercises.

Some scholars believe that long-term activities such as jumping, hanging weights, and swimming can indeed promote height growth. We believe that children and teenagers with short stature whose epiphyseal and metaphyseal joints have not yet fused, should bravely start special physical training to increase their height if the doctor believes they do not suffer from a disease causing short stature and have no other medical contraindications. But it is worth mentioning that training should be gradual. In the early stage, you should not overdo it because of impatience. You should pay attention to your own feelings. If you feel uncomfortable, you should consult a doctor and a physical education teacher.

Although exercise is a key factor in growing taller, the dietary requirements are also extremely important. The editor reminds children who want to grow taller to get rid of the bad habit of being picky about food, eat more green vegetables, and match meat and vegetables. Drink a glass of milk every morning and evening. If you have nothing to do, go out for a run often, do bicycle movements on the bed before going to bed at night, and stretch frequently.
