How to grow taller quickly at the age of 18

As we all know, height is greatly affected by genetics, and acquired nutrition is also a key factor affecting height. If you want to grow taller, you cannot change your innate genes. First of all, you need to get enough nutrition and not lack trace elements in your body. You also need to exercise more to promote bone development. Also, during adolescence, you must ensure calcium supplementation, and never let calcium deficiency cause stagnation in height.

We are all human beings, so why is there such a big difference between us? There is only one answer: the difference between a hormone-rich physique and a hormone-poor physique. What I want to tell you is that physical constitution determines the height-increasing effect. The secretion of growth hormone is different in each person, and different hormone constitutions determine different height-increasing effects. In other words: it is difficult to grow taller, and it ultimately comes down to physical constitution.

1. According to the growth and development rules of bones, short people who are 18 years old or above still have hope of growing taller if they are men before the age of 25 and women before the age of 21. A person's height is closely related to the development of his bones. As long as the epiphyseal lines at both ends of the long bones are not closed, there is room for the bones to grow. The process of height growth is controlled by hormones secreted by the endocrine system. The growth and development of the human body can be divided into three stages: the period under 3 years old is a rapid growth period, the growth rate is fastest at 1 year old, can grow 25 cm, and can grow 10 cm in the second year; from 3 years old to before puberty is a period of slowed growth, can increase 5 to 7 cm each year.

2. In the above two stages, growth hormone and thyroid hormone become catalysts for height increase, stimulating the differentiation and proliferation of epiphyseal chondrocytes; adolescence (11-17 years old for girls and 13-20 years old for boys) is another period of accelerated growth of the human body. At this time, sex hormones also begin to be secreted, becoming new members of the catalyst for height increase, creating a situation of "three hormones in one drama".

3. Under the synergistic action of the three hormones, the growth rate reaches a new high, but due to the participation of sex hormones, bone maturation is also accelerated while the height increases, resulting in the closure of the epiphyseal line and the cessation of height growth. The reason why some children with precocious puberty are short is that the epiphyseal line closes too early. Boys can increase their height by 25 to 28 cm during puberty, while girls can increase their height by about 25 cm.

4. If you want to grow taller, you should pay attention to the following growth periods: Reserve period (6-10 years old) "clean + supplement": inhibit premature development, cultivate an internal environment that is conducive to growth, supplement growth elements and comprehensive bone nutrition in a timely manner, break through genetic problems, and lay a good foundation for the sudden growth during puberty. Growth spurt period (10-14 years old): "catch-up + supplement + repair": catch-up growth, promote growth hormone secretion, accelerate bone cell division, supplement bone growth substances, and repair damaged bone age. After adjustment, the time for children to grow taller can be extended and they can maintain good growth. Excavation period (14-22 years old): "Chase + Delay": Supplement growth elements, accelerate bone cell accumulation, supplement bone delay factor, and delay the closure time of epiphyseal line. It can increase the aging process by a few centimeters and extend the bone growth cycle by a few years.

5. 1. Hanging swing: Use a horizontal bar or door frame, the height should be such that the body hangs on the bar and the toes just leave the ground. Hold the bar with both hands, with the distance between them slightly wider than shoulder width, put your feet together, and then swing your body back and forth. Don't swing too much and don't keep doing it for too long. It is best to arrange the exercise every morning. Relax the body as much as possible and hold it for 20 seconds. Young men should do it 10 to 15 times and young women should do it 2 to 6 times. 2. Jump up and touch the pre-set object with both hands, which can be a branch on the roadside.

6. Basketball hoop or ceiling. Jump with both feet, do 30 times. Rest for a while, then jump on one foot with each foot, using the same method as above. 3. Ball games: When playing basketball, actively fight for rebounds and jump to steal the ball; when playing volleyball, try to jump up and do more spikes and blocks; in football, practice jumping up and hitting the ball with the forehead. 4. Jumping exercises include single-leg hopping, frog leaps, triple jumps, multi-level jumps and vertical jumps in place while moving.
