When it comes to growing tall, the first thing that everyone thinks of may be calcium supplementation, but calcium supplementation, no matter how much calcium supplementation has no VD assistance, it will not help!
For children aged 3-18 months, vitamin D deficiency (hereinafter collectively referred to as VD) is the most common phenomenon. Children who lack VD are prone to rickets. How to supplement VD most effectively? Pan Hui, an expert in growth and development in the Department of Endocrinology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, particularly emphasized the benefits of "basking in the sun" in the book "Concord Experts Say That Growing TallEr Than One Makes Children Grow 10cm Taller".
In fact, more than 90% of the VD in our body is obtained through sunlight, and VD can effectively promote the absorption of calcium, which is conducive to our overall growth and development.
How to bask in the sun scientifically?
1. Time and frequency
Take Beijing, for example
Recommended length of sun exposure:
March-May and September-October, 30-60 minutes a day;
6-8 months, 20-45 minutes a day.
Children aged 0-3 with delicate skin are advised to avoid 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition, due to the weak ultraviolet radiation in the haze weather, the northern smog is heavier between November and February every year, and children can take oral VD or VA and VD combination preparations instead of basking in the sun.
Suitable time for sun exposure:
Spring and autumn around 9:00
Around 8:00 AM in summer
Around 9:00-10:00 in winter
Suitable for all seasons from 16:00 to 17:00
Avoid 10:00-15:00
2. Equipment for sunbathing
When basking in the sun, please do the following:
(1) You can wear it daily in season, the exposure area should be large, and you do not have to wear sunscreen clothing; There is no need to wear sunscreen or sunglasses;
(2) If the sunlight is indeed strong, you can bring a hat with a brim for your child; Shaded parks or squares are great places to soak up the sun.
(When your child is hot, he will sweat, so he can stay in the shade of a tree for a while and replenish his water appropriately to prevent problems such as lack of water or burns.) )
3. Be sure to go outdoors
Glass or filter out the UVB band in ultraviolet light, through the glass can not promote skin synthesis VD, so you must go outdoors to bask in the sun.
I hope that everyone's children can grow up to be tall, handsome, handsome, and beautiful!
