Several issues that should be paid attention to in order to make children grow taller

According to a report from the World Health Organization, children's growth rates vary in different seasons. The fastest growth occurs in May, with an average of 7.3 mm, and the slowest growth occurs in October, with an average of only 3.3 mm. Therefore, May to October each year is the best time for children to grow taller. The following points should be noted when children grow taller:

1. Supplement protein.

Protein is the basis of life. The proliferation of bone cells and the development of muscles and organs are inseparable from protein. The faster the human body grows and develops, the more protein it needs. Fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, peanuts, and soy products are all rich in high-quality protein, so you should pay attention to supplementing them. In addition, from May to October, teenagers should eat more eggs, because eggs contain essential nutrients such as protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and inorganic salts, and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body. The nutritional value of one egg is approximately equal to 250 grams of milk. During the "mysterious months of May to October", due to rapid growth and development, when the nutrition supply is insufficient, the human body is prone to rickets and anemia. Egg yolk contains a large amount of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin D, which can promote bone calcification and hematopoiesis. Therefore, eggs are the best nourishing food to promote healthy growth.

2. Provide vitamins and fiber.

Vitamins are essential for maintaining life, the most important of which are vitamins A, B, and C, which are essential for human growth and development. Animal liver, kidney, eggs and especially vegetables contain a variety of vitamins, fiber and minerals. You should eat more fresh vegetables.

3. Increase minerals.

A person's height is determined by the growth and development of bones, among which the growth of long bones in the lower limbs is most closely related to height. In other words, only with the continuous growth of epiphyseal cartilage cells in long bones can the human body grow taller. Calcium and phosphorus are the main components of bones. Therefore, from May to October, you should supplement more calcium and phosphorus rich foods such as milk, dried shrimps, soy products, ribs, bone soup, kelp, and seaweed. In addition, you should go outdoors and get more sun exposure to increase your exposure to ultraviolet rays, which will help synthesize vitamin D in the body and promote gastrointestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby ensuring healthy bone growth.

4. Ensure adequate sleep.

Sleep is also a "nutrient" that helps the body grow taller. As the saying goes: People grow while they sleep. Because sleep not only eliminates fatigue, but also after the body falls asleep, the secretion of growth hormone is more vigorous than usual and lasts longer, which is beneficial to height growth. Therefore, develop regular living habits and ensure adequate sleep.

5. Participate in physical exercise.

Regular participation in physical exercises suitable for height growth and brain health can promote blood circulation throughout the body, ensure that bones, muscles and brain cells get adequate nutrition, promote bone thickening, increase bone density, and enhance the ability to resist compression and bending. Exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, which helps bones, muscles and brain develop better. Therefore, you should participate in more activities that are suitable for height growth and brain health, such as skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, jumping rubber band, artistic gymnastics and various ball games. You can also achieve the best height-increasing effect through the organic combination of auxiliary treatment of height-increasing products and exercise.

6. Develop good eating habits.

The biggest bad eating habits of children are picky eating and partial eating. Parents should not force their children to eat rudely, but should guide them patiently and step by step. As long as they persevere, their children will gradually change their bad eating habits of picky eating and partial eating. If anorexia is caused by digestive dysfunction, appropriate amounts of medication should be used to regulate the condition and strengthen the digestive and absorption functions to prevent malnutrition and affect the child's growth.
