Is there any way to increase height by sunbathing?

Height is the product of parents' genes and acquired nutrition, because many people are not satisfied with their height. As a result, there are more and more height-increasing products on the market. There are many ways to increase height. Nowadays, there is a saying that sun exposure can increase height. Sunbathing can prevent cancer and supplement calcium. But let me explain to you the argument about increasing height.

Sun exposure helps synthesize vitamin D

If the skin is exposed to sunlight and ultraviolet rays, the large amount of 7-dehydrocholesterol contained in the epidermis and dermis will undergo a photochemical reaction and form previtamin D3. Once previtamin D3 is formed in the skin, it will slowly convert into vitamin D3 at low temperature. This process will take at least 3 days to complete. Vitamin D binding protein then transports vitamin D3 from the skin to the circulatory system.

Vitamin D is primarily involved in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus; it affects the absorption of these minerals and their deposition in bone tissue. Vitamin D is converted into an active form in the liver and kidneys and passively transported to the intestines, bones and kidneys, where it works together with parathyroid hormone to maintain blood calcium levels.

When the blood calcium level is low, it can promote the synthesis of calcium-binding protein in the small intestine, thereby increasing calcium and phosphorus absorption. It can also promote calcium reabsorption in the renal tubules and mobilize calcium and phosphorus from the bones. When the blood calcium level is too high, it can stimulate the parathyroid gland to produce calcitonin, prevent calcium mobilization from the bones, and increase the excretion of calcium and phosphorus in the urine. Vitamin D promotes the mineralization of bones, cartilage and teeth, and their continuous renewal to maintain their normal growth. In addition, vitamin D plays an important role in preventing the loss of amino acids through the kidneys, and has immunomodulatory functions that can change the body's response to infection. So people will grow taller by basking in the sun.

To sum up, six and ten in the morning and four to five in the afternoon are the best times to sunbathe. It can not only supplement calcium and fight cancer, but also enhance immunity and kill germs. Sunbathing can only slightly increase height, and the quality of height-increasing products on the market varies greatly. Maintaining a good attitude and facing your own strengths and weaknesses is the most correct attitude towards life.
