Is there any way to increase height

We Chinese are generally not very tall, but many people hope to grow taller after they become adults. Tall people definitely look good. Models are all tall and thin, and they look good in anything they wear. But for many short people, standing in front of tall people will feel a lot of pressure, and sometimes they will feel very inferior. Some people even buy some height-increasing drugs, only to find that they have no effect at all.

If you want to grow taller, you should listen to your parents when you are young, not stay up late and not be picky about food. During childhood, if you want to grow taller, you must grow during sleep. If you don't get more than eight hours of sleep a day, the hormones that promote growth will not be fully released, which will affect your height in the future. Let's take a look at how to increase height.

How to make your child grow taller

Whether you can have the desired height depends on several factors. The first is genetic factors, which account for 70%. In addition, it depends on other conditions, including exercise, nutrition, environment and social factors. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay attention to the following points:

1. Don’t miss the rapid growth period

When do children and adolescents grow fastest during puberty? Studies have confirmed that the peak height growth for the vast majority of Han Chinese children is around 12 years old for girls and around 14 years old for boys; more than 90% of girls have the fastest height growth between the ages of 11 and 13, and for boys between the ages of 13 and 15. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay special attention to issues such as nutrition and exercise during their rapid growth period.

Second, we should pay attention to nutritional supplements

Nutrition is key to children's physical growth. The energy, protein and amino acids required for normal physical growth must be supplied by food, mainly meat, eggs, beans and legumes. Bone formation also requires adequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Insufficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency will cause insufficient bone mineralization. Vitamin A deficiency will cause bones to become shorter and thicker. Vitamin C deficiency will cause defects in the bone cell matrix and make it brittle, all of which will affect bone growth.

At present, the average family's diet includes both meat and vegetables, and the nutrition should be comprehensive and sufficient. Parents should be careful not to let their children develop a habit of picky eating, and should not let their children eat too many snacks which will affect the intake of important nutrients.

3. Don’t neglect exercise

Physical exercise can enhance the body's metabolic process, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate bone tissue growth, and benefit the body's height growth. The following exercises are effective in increasing height, so you might want to give them a try.

1. For hanging swing, use a horizontal bar or door frame. The height should be such that your body hangs on the bar and your 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 objects with both hands when jumping up, which can be roadside branches, basketball hoops or ceilings. 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.

4. Don’t forget to create a good living environment for your children

Abnormalities of the mental and nervous system can also affect children's physical growth. If parents are divorced, the relationship between children and guardians is abnormal, children are often abused, or children are exposed to other serious stimulation, their growth rate will gradually slow down, making their height below the lower limit of normal height for children of the same age and gender. Short stature will aggravate the child's inferiority complex. This is because the psychological and social stimulation the child receives affects the transmission of nerve impulses from the cerebral cortex to the hypothalamus, thereby inhibiting the pituitary gland from secreting growth hormone. When the child's environment is treated well, the growth rate can return to normal.

After reading the above introduction, do you know more about how to increase height? However, the height of a child is still largely determined by the genes of his parents. Therefore, if you want your child to grow tall, you must pay attention to the methods introduced above. I believe that after persisting in exercise and improving nutrition, he will definitely grow taller.
