How to treat adolescent bone development?

The most common thing elders say when they see their children is: "You've grown taller again." It can be seen that height is also an issue that parents are very concerned about. However, childhood and adolescence are the most important and decisive stages of bone development, which directly determine a person's height. Exercise to increase height is also a very good way, sometimes it can even increase by 5cm! To understand the bone development of adolescents, you can usually go to the endocrinology department for a check-up, or you can also go to the orthopedics department for an examination.

The most important factor affecting human height is genetics, accounting for 70%, and humans can control the remaining 30%. We cannot and do not need to change our genes yet. Human growth follows certain rules. By optimizing within a limited range, it is possible to achieve maximum height without compromising your health!

Puberty is the final flight toward achieving maximum height. If the basic height at the beginning of puberty is not ideal, you should go to a regular hospital in time, take an X-ray to evaluate the bone growth potential, and adopt an individualized growth promotion plan to avoid missing the opportunity.

The first thing to do is to control diseases that affect children's growth. In addition to family inheritance, the causes of dwarfism are mostly caused by diseases. Dwarfism caused by endocrine diseases accounts for more than 50% of clinical dwarfism patients. The most common of these is the disorder of pituitary gland secretion of growth hormone. Growth hormone is the most important hormone that promotes bone and organ growth after birth. Its deficiency will directly affect the growth and development of children.

In addition to disease control, there are three factors that deserve special attention: one is nutrition. For example, the intake of amino acids and trace elements cannot be ignored. A child who is malnourished for a long time will definitely lag behind the height he should have reached; the second is sleep. During deep sleep at night, the secretion of growth hormone will reach its highest peak. Children who stay up late for a long time will definitely be affected in their height. You should get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every day; third, exercise. Exercise stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone, which promotes the formation of epiphyseal bone cells, causes the growth of dry bones, and increases bone density.

Any nutrient deficiency will affect the bone development of adolescents. In order to ensure that children get enough nutrition during their growth and development period, they should pay attention to eating more foods rich in high-quality protein, calcium, zinc, and vitamins A and D, such as meat, fish, shrimp, milk, eggs, soybeans, etc.

Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising moderately, getting enough sleep and having a happy, carefree childhood are the only ways to promote height growth.

The editor here reminds all parents that you can let your children eat more calcium-rich foods such as shrimps, crabs, ribs, etc. Pay special attention to the balance of diet and nutrition. Because people grow taller during sleep, you must ensure that your child gets enough sleep. Night is the golden time for growth.
