According to the Investigation Report on the Current Situation of Children's Height Management in China, 90% of parents choose to wait blindly or believe that "children grow late", which misses the golden stage of children's growth. Because 70% of children's height is hereditary, and the other 30% is nutrition, exercise, sleep and so on. If parents do not grasp this 30%, many children will not even reach their parents' height. Therefore, if you want your child to grow taller, you must seize the intense period of child growth.
Children's height often grows faster in spring. Studies have found that children's height is not uniform throughout the year, with children growing faster in spring and slowest in autumn.
First of all, ultraviolet rays are higher in spring. There is a scientific reason why children grow taller in spring. The sunshine in spring contains the most ultraviolet rays in the four seasons. Ultraviolet rays not only have a good bactericidal effect, but also stimulate the proliferation of bone marrow, promote the proliferation of red blood cells and accelerate tissue metabolism.
Ultraviolet rays are also beneficial to the growth and development of bones, because both vitamin D from food and vitamin D from human skin tissues have to be converted into vitamin D3 by ultraviolet irradiation before being absorbed by human body, and then converted into bioactive active vitamin D in liver and kidney, which can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in gastrointestinal tract, reduce the excretion through renal tubules, and provide sufficient calcium and phosphorus for the growth and development of bones.
? The second reason is that children have more activities in spring, and the cold and smog in winter will inevitably reduce their outdoor activities. Coupled with the cold in the north, it is difficult to ensure the daily sunshine. After entering the spring, the child has been dormant for a winter, and both body and mind will be eager to fly. With sunshine, children's outdoor activities will increase a lot.
What happens when children grow up? How does it feel when a child arrives at a fierce body? I summarized these points from my daughter. Feet grow faster. As the old saying goes, it makes sense to grow feet first. My daughter has two small partners and three girls together. Our family has the fastest development, and the most obvious thing is the change of shoes. The other two girls can wear shoes for two or even three years, and our shoes are often one year.
Last year, on Children's Day, the school asked me to buy white shoes, and I won't wear them after the New Year. I always shout that my feet hurt. Three children stand together, and our feet are the biggest. During the epidemic, children can't go out to play, but they are very energetic. They never sleep at noon and fall asleep every second after sleeping at night. If one day goes to bed at noon, the child will toss and turn in bed at night, but the sleep time will be delayed. Because the nap didn't consume children's energy. Another feature is that children will especially like sports, and skipping rope and playing basketball at home will not be tired.
Like to drink milk and eat meat last winter, we didn't take the initiative to ask our child to drink milk. She wouldn't even take the initiative to drink milk. After the New Year, I suddenly fell in love with drinking milk. At most, I drank three boxes of milk a day. We are all afraid of hoarding food and dare not let her drink it. Besides, my daughter likes meat very much. Sometimes she doesn't eat much staple food, but she eats more meat and vegetables. When a child is growing up, it is also the time when the body needs a lot of nutrition, so the child's dietary preference is a signal released by the body in a sense.
For example, drinking milk can supplement calcium, and eating meat can provide protein, which can promote the growth of height. If you want your child to grow taller, do these three things with your child in spring and do more aerobic exercise. Because muscle contraction needs a lot of oxygen and energy, doing more aerobic exercise can enhance your cardiopulmonary endurance. Gan, an attending physician in the Department of Endocrinology, Pediatric Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, suggested that children should be allowed to jump rope more. Compared with other aerobic exercises, skipping rope can stretch freely better and promote height more obviously. If the child is too young, you can do more outdoor sports besides skipping rope and try to keep outdoor sports for more than 2 hours, thinking that people will secrete more growth hormone after continuous exercise.
Ensuring children's adequate sleep growth hormone is one of the necessary conditions for their height development. The human body secretes a lot of growth hormone during sleep, and it will enter two peak periods of growth hormone at 9:00- 12:00 in the evening and 5:00-7:00 in the morning, but they are all under the premise of deep sleep. Growth hormone in sleep state is 3 times that in daytime and 6 times that in peak period.
Therefore, adequate sleep time and sleep quality are the key factors to promote children's height development. Cultivate children's good sleep schedule and provide suitable sleep environment from the age of 3. Reminder: Try not to turn on the night light when sleeping, which will affect the reduction of melatonin and directly affect the quality of children's sleep. Protein, minerals, fats and fatty acids are indispensable for nutrition to keep up with the fierce growth of children. The most important thing is that nutrition should be reasonable, not that children eat too much.
On the contrary, children can't eat too much, which will affect the blood sugar level and the secretion of growth hormone. Maintaining a moderate sense of hunger contributes to the secretion of growth hormone. Ensure 500 ml of milk, although 300 ml of milk a day can meet the body's calcium. In the intense period, children should try to drink 500 ml of milk every day. Yogurt is easier to digest and can be drunk together with pure milk.
50 grams of meat and protein are guaranteed every day. Meat should not be too much. 50 grams a day is enough; Fats and fatty acids can be supplemented by eating a handful of nuts every day; 300-500 grams of fruits and vegetables every day; Spring itself is the season of growth. Parents should ensure their children's nutrition and exercise time, and try to achieve 30% of the day after tomorrow, so that their children will not be short.
