The last time I took my child to the hospital for a physical examination, there was a family of three in line in front, and the parents took a little boy.
The height of the little boy's mother is about 1.5 meters, and the height of the little boy's father is about 1.6 meters.
Hearing that the doctor reported that the child's height was 1.3 meters, the little boy's mother joked: "My son is only 130cm at the age of 11, 20cm shorter than his classmates, a head shorter!
When the little boy's father heard the anger, he said: "The mother is short and short"
Is the child's height inherited from the father or the mother? Is the statement "the father is short and the mother is short and the mother is short"?
Of course this is not true, in fact, the genetic factor of parents' height only determines 70% of the baby, and the remaining 30% depends on acquired efforts. Parents jointly decide 70% of their child's height!
According to the height calculation formula:
Boy's height (cm) = (father's height + mother's height + 13) ÷2
Girl's height (cm) = (father's height + mother's height - 13) ÷2
However, not everyone can fully agree with this formula, because the formula ignores the influence of other factors on a child's height. As the saying goes, "seven points are destined, and three points depend on hard work"
Let's start with "Seven Minutes of Destiny"
The baby is not tall, you can observe the following characteristics:
The first: the observation arm
To judge whether the child is tall when he grows up, you can observe the child's arms, let the child straighten the arms, the length of the two arms, that is, the length from the tip of the left finger to the tip of the right finger, if the length after expansion is the same as the height, the height will not be short, if the length of the arms is greater than the height, it is more advantageous!
The second: observe the soles of the feet
Babies with wide and thick soles generally do not grow up short, and children with slender soles and large feet can generally grow taller. We all know that when you grow legs, your feet will grow faster in the same period of time. The development of the soles of a child's feet can directly affect the overall height of the child. So if your child's shoe size is larger than that of his peers, it is very likely that the child will grow taller.
Third: Observe the knees
If the baby's knee position is higher, the child's legs will definitely not be short, and the legs are also proportional, the high knee position indicates that the child's calves are longer, and the calves are longer than the legs, so that the overall height of the child will not be short.
Fourth: Observe the lower legs
The ideal size of the calf is equal to the height multiplied by 0.21, and if the proportion of the calf reaches this size, the child should not be too bad when he grows up! Because children with slender calves will develop faster, the time for increasing height will be relatively concentrated. Such children grow late in bone calcification, and the child's lower limbs will continue to grow.
Let's talk about "three points rely on hard work"
Number one: balanced nutrition
Eat more protein-rich foods, such as eggs, red meat, seafood, soy products, etc., and the bones and other tissues of the human body are inseparable from protein! Eat as little sweets and greasy things as possible. Greasy stuff can lead to weight gain and may develop laterally!
Suggested Eat:
The first category: animals, livers, such as pork liver, chicken liver, etc., are rich in vitamins and iron.
Category 2: Fish and meat. For example, salmon, yellow croaker, etc., which are rich in protein, steamed or stewed, are more helpful for children's growth.
Category III: Beef. It is rich in protein, amino acids, and some whole grains can improve children's immunity and promote growth.
It is not recommended to eat:
Fried foods: such as fried dough sticks, fried chicken, French fries, etc
High-sugar foods: such as chocolate, ice cream, candy, etc
High-salt foods: such as kimchi, bacon, ham, barbecue, etc
Fatty foods: such as braised pork, fatty meat, etc
Number two: quality sleep
9 p.m. to 1 a.m. is the peak period of growth hormone secretion, and it is important to let the child go to bed before 9 o'clock, otherwise it will affect the growth. Some children stay up late with their parents and go to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock, and the secretion of growth hormone will decrease, which not only affects their height, but also affects their entire growth and development. Growth hormone can only be secreted during deep sleep, and it is not easy to secrete during light sleep, sleeping at 9 o'clock, slowly entering deep sleep at 10 o'clock, and secreting growth hormone at 11 o'clock. Therefore, it is generally recommended to get up after 7 o'clock, go to bed at 9 o'clock, and get up at 7 o'clock, which is the law of children's growth and development.
The third point: proper exercise
The reason why children can continue to grow taller depends on the growth plates in the bones, and the key to growing taller is to stimulate the growth plates to the greatest extent before the growth plates are closed. Children who like to do sports are on average 4-6 cm taller than children who don't, so proper exercise can help with growth and development!
Skipping rope, swimming, badminton and other sports are all helpful for growing taller!
