In the current aesthetics, height is one of the most important parts. Many parents hope that their children can be taller. However, it is not a simple matter to want their children to have the right height. Parents need to pay attention to their children. growing up.
The relevant departments of our country have also been committed to studying the height of children. Every year, "Height and Weight Comparison Table for Children and Adolescents from 3-18 Years Old (Male and Female)" . This year’s height comparison table for children is shown in the figure.
Parents can judge whether the child's height is the healthiest height based on the data on the table, horizontally and vertically. If the child's height is between short and short, it means that the child's height is not healthy, and it is necessary to adopt a scientific method to change the child's height.
What factors affect the height of a child?
1. Innate factors
Speaking of innate factors, it is the parent's genetic gene . If the parents are taller, the height of the child will be very high in most cases. For example, the well-known basketball star Yao Ming, his wife Ye Li is also very tall, and their daughter Yao Qinlei is also much taller than children of the same age. If the parents are shorter or one of the parents is shorter, the probability that the child is not tall is higher.
2. Sleep status
The time we spend on sleep every day accounts for a large proportion, and the quality of sleep affects people’s health. And when the child enters deep sleep, it will secrete a large amount of growth hormone, which can promote the child to grow taller.
If the child’s sleeping environment is poor or sleep time is insufficient, the quality of sleep will be reduced, the time to enter deep sleep will be reduced, and the effect of sleep will be reduced.Insufficient secretion of growth hormone makes it difficult to grow taller.
3. Diet
During the child’s physical development, he needs a variety of nutritional support. Only by ensuring adequate nutrition during the child’s growth process can the child grow taller.
If the child does not supplement enough nutrition during the growth process, malnutrition will affect the child's height. Similarly, if the supplementary nutrition is too much or too simple, it will make the child's nutrition excessive and eventually lead to the child's obesity. He is growing, but still looks very uncoordinated.
For example, the recommended intake of milk is 300-500ml per day for children aged 1 to 3 years, and 1 cup (about 250ml) of pure milk or yogurt per day for children over 3 years old. These are enough to meet the needs of children's growth and development.
However, if drinks milk excessively (>500ml/day) for a long time and consumes too much calcium, there is a certain risk that the child will be constipated and eventually lead to obesity.
4. Exercise
A healthy body is inseparable from proper exercise. Maintaining reasonable exercise can promote the growth of the child’s height. When the child is exercising, the bones will grow , So as to promote the growth of children. If the child does not like exercise, the growth rate of the bones will slow down, and eventually they will not grow high.
In addition to congenital factors, the height of a child may also be counterattacked by acquired
Some parents believe that the height of a child is basically determined by the parents' genetics, and it is difficult to break through the day after tomorrow.
Indeed, many of the players in the NBA teams over the years are tall, and their parents are taller and have better genes.
But Jeremy Lin is an exception. He has a height of 191, which is already quite prominent according to Asian body standards.But his parents Lin Jiming and Wu Xinxin are both about 1.68 meters tall.
It is reported that Papa Lin had specially formulated a set of "increasing plan" for Jeremy Lin's growth, allowing his height to increase by leaps and bounds, and it rose to 191. Although Papa Lin hasn't announced the plan to increase the height, it is enough to prove that acquired efforts can also make up for inborn shortcomings.
1. Adjust the child’s sleep time to ensure a scientific and healthy schedule
According to the survey, the peak time of growth hormone secretion is from 10 pm to 1 am During this period of time, the child needs to enter deep sleep, and the growth hormone secreted during this period is three times that of usual. Therefore, parents need to ensure the child's sleeping environment and let the child fall asleep in time.
This sleep schedule can be used by parents as a reference.
2. Adjusting children’s eating habits
Willing to eat or being picky eaters will often cause malnutrition. Some children want to eat everything and eat more. This will cause overnutrition, which is not conducive to the child's height. Therefore, parents should pay attention to a balanced diet in life, maintain a diversified nutrition, and let children eat as little snacks as possible.
3. Choose the right and appropriate exercise for your child
Children of different ages, suitable sports are also different, for example, when a child is about three years old, do some exercises to exercise hand and foot coordination , Like crawling, climbing, etc., as children grow older,The types of sports are becoming more and more abundant. Parents need to guide their children to exercise to ensure a reasonable amount and duration of exercise.
The healthy growth of children is inseparable from their parents. If the height of a child is to be outstanding among peers, it requires the efforts of parents, pay attention to the health of the child, and protect the healthy growth of the child.
