What factors affect a girl's height?

Generally speaking, girls are shorter than boys, which has something to do with their physiological structure. However, if families want their children to develop better and grow taller, they need to take some targeted measures, such as supplementing nutrition, increasing exercise, or providing care and concern in all aspects. So what are the factors that affect girls' height?

Lack of maternal love affects children's height

Some experts have found that emotional disorders can also affect height. If a child grows up in an environment lacking family warmth and does not receive sufficient maternal love, then his height will often be shorter than children of the same age. Foreign countries call this type of dwarfism emotionally blocked dwarfism, and some information calls it "love blocked syndrome."

The main cause of emotion-blocked short stature is that the functions of the hypothalamus and pituitary systems are inhibited by emotions, which in turn causes a decrease in the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. In addition to being short in stature, such children also have abnormal behaviors such as delayed intellectual development, drinking and eating more, talking to themselves, hyperactivity, and poor interpersonal relationships.

Children with emotional blockage generally have restless sleep and lack a sense of security. Sometimes they wake up from their dreams by shouting or crying, which affects their sleep quality. Children's growth hormone is only secreted vigorously during deep sleep and sound sleep. Therefore, for children who have restless sleep and are easily awakened, the secretion of growth hormone is likely to be greatly inhibited. This is also one of the important reasons why children do not grow tall.

Staying up late will affect children's height

In recent years, a large number of investigations and studies have confirmed that the amount of growth hormone secreted by short children is far less than that of normal children, and a considerable number of children do not get enough sleep at night. Since children secrete abundant growth hormone during sleep from childhood to pre-adolescence, the amount of growth hormone secreted from 9 pm to 9 am the next day is three times that of the 12 hours during the day. In particular, there is a secretion peak 70 minutes after falling asleep at 9 pm. In view of this, children should not stay up late.

Through the above introduction, everyone has a clear idea of ​​the factors that affect girls' height. A child's ability to grow taller is related to many factors. Of course, genetic factors cannot be ignored. Only by letting children develop good living habits and keep a good mood in their acquired life can they grow taller.
