Why say,
Spring is the golden age for children to grow taller?
Because spring is sunny, it is the most suitable season for basking in the sun. Your child is exposed to abundant infrared and ultraviolet rays, which can help the skin synthesize vitamin D and promote calcium absorption. At the same time, the child's blood circulation in the body is accelerated because of exercise, which promotes the secretion of growth hormone and accelerates the growth of bone tissue. In this way, the child naturally grows taller.
World Health Organization research proves that children grow the fastest in the spring, growing 2 to 2.5 times faster than in autumn and winter.
How to catch a good spring light,
What about helping your child grow taller?
Seven points depend on genetics, and three points rely on hard work. 70% is determined by genes, and 30% is affected by nutrition, sleep, exercise and other acquired environments.
In November 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its latest height prediction formula for Asians. This formula is a height prediction formula developed and popularized by the World Health Organization according to the characteristics of Asians, after a large number of data surveys, and the accuracy is almost close to 100%.
Genetic target height for boys = (father height + mother height + 13) ÷2 (cm) ±7.5 cm
Genetic target height for girls = (father height + mother height - 13) ÷2 (cm) ± 7.5 cm
Take a chestnut:
If a boy's father's height is 180cm and his mother's height is 160cm, then his theoretical height is (180+160+13)/2=176.5 cm, and then his own growth value is 7.5 cm, then the child's final height is between 169cm and 184cm.
That is to say, if the child's growth environment is not good and the growth potential is not fully utilized, it will directly cause the final height gap of 15cm. Therefore, in addition to genetic influences, acquired interventions are also important.
Seize two key periods of height
1 to 3 years old is the period of physical development of children, and the needs of children's bodies for calcium, iron, zinc, vitamins and other nutrients are larger. The child's skeleton also "grows wildly" in this time period, and when the child passes this period, the growth rate of the bone will slow down to a certain extent.
When a child enters puberty, the bones undergo a second "crazy growth". This is due to the increase in hormone levels in adolescent children, and the secretion of growth hormone, sex hormones, etc. is large, thereby promoting the development of bones and body organs.
1
Eat three meals a day with a balanced diet
The time of three meals a day should be relatively fixed, so that it can be timed and quantitative. The energy provided by morning, lunch and dinner accounts for 25% to 30%, 30% to 40%, and 30% to 35% of the total energy of the whole day, respectively.
Good breakfast
Eat breakfast every day and make sure it's nutritious. A nutritious breakfast should include at least three or more of the following:
1, cereals and potatoes: such as steamed buns, flower rolls, bread, rice, rice noodles, etc.
2, fish, poultry meat and eggs and other foods: such as eggs, pork, beef, chicken and so on.
3, milk and dairy products, soybeans and soy products: such as pure milk, yogurt, soy milk, etc.
4. Fresh vegetables and fruits.
Drink milk every day
To meet bone growth needs, to ensure that you drink 300ml of milk and dairy products or the equivalent of dairy products per day, you can choose fresh milk, yogurt, milk powder or cheese.
Drink plenty of water
Drink a small amount of water several times a day, do not wait to feel thirsty and then drink water, you can drink 100 to 200ml of water in each class. When the weather is hot or sweats a lot during exercise, the amount of water you drink should be increased.
2
Sleep needs to be adequate
Lack of sleep not only affects the child's long body, but also may lead to obesity or overweight, and even cause problems such as mood and abnormal behavior.
The vast majority of growth hormone is secreted during a deep night's sleep. The longer you sleep, the more growth hormone is secreted, and the child will naturally grow taller. If night sleep is affected for various reasons, it will directly affect the secretion of growth hormone.
Therefore, parents should let their children go to sleep before 10 pm every night, maintain 8-9 hours of sleep time, and it is best to take a nap for half an hour during the day.
3
Exercise can not be less
According to the "Statistics on the Status Quo of Height Management of Children in China", children of the same age and same gender are 4-10 centimeters taller than children who do not exercise.
Choosing the right exercise program and doing the right amount of exercise can help promote the development of lower limb bones and spinal bones.
For younger children, parents can bring more outdoor activities, more free activities, turn over, crawl and so on. School-age children can do some bouncing and stretching sports, such as jump rope, touching heights, swimming, badminton, basketball, etc.
Exercises such as long-distance running, weight-bearing exercises, wrestling, wrist breaking, tug-of-war, etc., which use children's limb muscles excessively or cause a lot of pressure on the lower limbs, should be done less, and these sports are not conducive to children's growth.
Let the child grow taller, not as difficult as imagined, expensive in persistence. To provide children with a comfortable growth environment, nutrition, sleep, exercise, so that children can maximize their potential, children can naturally reach the ideal height.
Take advantage of the good spring light and play with your children!
