How to promote bone development in teenagers

When children reach a certain age, their physical development will become very rapid. Every child wants to grow tall, and this is also the wish of most parents. But even so, many people are still worried about their children's height. So, how to promote bone development in adolescents? If you want your child's bone development to be ideal, you need to pay attention to the following issues.

Don’t miss the growth spurt

The peak height growth of adolescents is around 11 to 15 years old. More than 90% of girls grow fastest around 11 to 13 years old, and boys generally grow fastest around 13 to 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.

Focus on nutritional supplements

Nutrition is an important factor in the growth of adolescents. Teenagers who want to grow taller should pay attention to nutritional balance. When teenagers lack calcium and vitamin D, it will cause insufficient bone mineralization; vitamin A deficiency can easily make the bones of teenagers shorter and thicker; vitamin C deficiency can cause defects in the interstitial matrix of bone cells and make them brittle, affecting the growth of adolescent bones. In daily diet, nutrition should be comprehensive and balanced to avoid bad habits such as picky eating and partial eating in children, which will affect the healthy growth of adolescents.

Exercise is essential for bone growth

Adequate exercise is essential for the growth of teenagers. Exercise itself can promote the secretion of growth hormone in adolescents. If teenagers do more exercise, it can promote the body's metabolism, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate the growth of bone tissue, and benefit the rapid growth of teenagers' bones.

Living environment also affects the height of teenagers

Living environment and other factors can also affect the physical growth of adolescents. If teenagers are often abused or severely stimulated, their growth rate will slow down and their height will be shorter than children of the same age. A short stature will increase adolescents' inferiority complex and inhibit the pituitary gland from secreting growth hormone. When the adolescent's growth environment is improved, the growth rate can return to normal.

Chronic diseases need timely prevention and treatment

Chronic diseases will affect the growth and development of adolescents. Chronic diseases that exist in adolescents (such as chronic infections, hepatitis, asthma, anemia, etc.) need to be prevented and treated in a timely manner. Genetic bone diseases, such as osteochondrodysplasia, can also limit bone growth in adolescents.

How to promote bone development in adolescents? Parents need to regulate their children's diet well, pay attention to the reasonable combination of nutrition, and do not let their children develop bad habits of being picky eaters. In addition, don't let your children play with mobile phones, watch TV, or do homework all the time. Let your children try to exercise every day, such as running, playing football, or playing badminton. In addition, if the child has some illnesses such as asthma, anemia, etc., he must receive timely treatment.
