There are two golden periods for the growth of a child's height, one is the first three years of the child's birth, and the other is adolescence!
The growth of the child's height in the first year of birth is the fastest, it is simply rocket-like speed, and in just one year, the child's height will increase by 25 centimeters.
In the third year of the second year after the birth of the child, although the growth rate of height has slowed by half, it can still grow by 10 cm to 12 cm per year.
The child is 50 centimeters at birth, and when the child is three years old, the height is nearly one meter, which can be said to be doubled in just three years.
After that, the child's height growth will enter a cyclical period, and the height will increase by 5 to 8 centimeters per year.
When it comes to the child's puberty, the height has re-entered a golden period, growing at a rate of about 10 centimeters per year, but this golden period is very short, only 2 to 3 years.
When the golden period of a child's puberty has passed, the child's height is basically fixed.
As a parent, you must fiercely seize the golden period of your child's height growth and give your child enough nutrition, sleep and exercise to make your child grow taller.
The height of the child is higher, and there are more opportunities for learning and life or even the object in the future.
In addition to 60% of the child's height is related to heredity, the other is also related to the environment, and this environment is mainly the child's nutrition!
The height of the child is related to these kinds of nutrition, and the mother remembers to make up for the child, and none of them can be less
The first nutrient: calcium
About 60% to 70% of a child's bones are made of calcium, so without calcium, the child's height will be suppressed.
And what is the need for calcium in the critical period of growth and development of children?
In the latest "Reference Intake of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese Residents", children only need 200 mg of calcium per day for 0 to 6 months, 250 mg of calcium per day for 7 to 12 months, 600 mg of calcium per day for 1 to 3 years old, 800 mg of calcium per day for 4 to 6 years old, 1000 mg of calcium per day for 7 to 10 years old, 1200 mg of calcium per day for 11 to 13 years old, and 1000 mg of calcium per day for 14 to 17 years old.
And the child in the puberty before the age of three, as long as the daily milk amount is sufficient, the child generally does not lack calcium, especially before the child is one year old to drink about 800 ml of milk every day, which can fully meet the child's daily calcium needs.
However, when the child is 11 to 13 years old, the critical period of puberty development requires 1200 mg of calcium per day, and the daily diet may not meet the needs of the child's growth and development.
Therefore, when the child is in adolescence, parents can supplement the child with some calcium tablets as appropriate.
The second nutrient: vitamin D
Although the calcium that a child needs every day before the age of three can be ingested from milk, milk or breast milk is not rich in vitamin D, and without vitamin D, calcium absorption will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the National Health Commission and the Chinese Nutrition Society recommend that the child should be supplemented with vitamin D in the days after birth, supplementing 400 international units per day, and even 700 international units after the child is one year old.
Enough vitamin D to promote the absorption of calcium and help children grow.
The third nutrient: protein
Without protein, there is no life, without protein children will not grow tall, if protein is lacking, then the child will be emaciated, height growth will be inhibited.
Because 1/3 of the raw materials in the bones are provided by protein, so to supplement the child with high-quality protein, we must give the child milk in daily life, eat various meat foods and legumes and mushrooms, which are rich in protein.
The fourth nutrient: vitamin A
Vitamin A we know is good for vision, but in fact, vitamin A is also helpful for the growth of children's bones, if the child is deficient in vitamin A will also affect the growth of height.
The fifth nutrient: zinc
Severe zinc deficiency will lead to inhibition of children's growth and development, but also lead to poor appetite, affect food intake, affect the intake of children's nutrition, lead to malnutrition, causing children's height growth is hindered.
The child's height growth is only a short period of more than ten years, in the critical period of the child's height growth, parents must add enough nutrition to the child, let the child grow a few centimeters.
