Can you grow taller if you stretch your legs while sleeping?

All parents hope that their children can grow taller. I don’t know who said that sleeping with legs straight can help children grow taller. Is this idea reliable? Besides, it would not be very comfortable to sleep with your legs stretched out all the time. And who can guarantee that your legs will be stretched out all the time when you fall asleep? So, can you grow taller by sleeping with your legs straight? Let me analyze this issue below.

First of all, how tall a person can grow is related to genetic factors, and genetic factors account for a large part. These are innate factors and are not considered to be changeable. Among the acquired factors, one is nutrition, and the other is regular exercise to increase height.

Secondly, I think there is no necessary connection between sleeping with legs straight and growing taller.

Finally, in addition to genetic factors, if you want to grow taller, you can pay attention to these aspects:

1. Pay attention to getting enough sleep and don't stay up late. Growth hormone is secreted in large quantities during deep sleep, especially growth hormone for bone growth is secreted during sleep;

2. Pay attention to nutrition, especially foods high in calcium such as milk. If calcium is insufficient, it will affect the normal development of bones;

3. Exercise more, do more exercises, do more leg exercises, and jump more, because exercise is helpful for growing taller;

4. Height growth is closely related to bone growth. Between the bone ends and the backbone of the human body, there is bone end cartilage called the "growth line" during the growth period. The entire bone receives developmental hormones and other related hormones through this part of tissue and continues to lengthen. The good development of the calves and thigh bones, which are closely related to height, plays an important role in height growth, so doing more leg stretching exercises can also help with height growth, such as learning dance.

From the above information, we can conclude that there is no necessary connection between sleeping with legs straight and growing taller, but adequate sleep is helpful for growing taller. If we want to grow taller, we cannot change our innate factors. What we can do is to have adequate nutrition and exercise more often.
