In the past, most families had not had good conditions, so they did not pay much attention to their children's growth and development. As long as the children were not hungry, they would have no time and energy to care about whether the children's growth and development were normal.
Nowadays, life is well developed and material conditions are rich. Parents also want to give their children more material, spiritual and physical support, especially for families with only children. They are really afraid of melting when they hold it in their mouths and afraid of falling when they hold it in their hands. It doesn’t matter if they don’t study or study, as long as they grow up healthily.

12 years old this year, Xixi, who has been a docile child since childhood, has ranked among the best in school. In the exam test not long ago, she once again lived up to expectations and achieved the first place.
"I heard that Qianxi got the first place again. She is such a little genius. She has never bothered her parents since she was a child!"
"Xixi is not only good at studying, but also beautiful. Now she is almost as tall as her father."
Grandpa quickly took out a tape measure and found that Qianxi was actually 1.7 meters tall. The aunt who hadn't seen for a long time was also very happy and asked Qianxi, "What good food did your parents eat for you? It's so high!"
Faced with the praise from his family, Qianxi and her parents were also happy, and the efforts of the past few years have finally not been in vain. It turned out that just three years ago, Xixi's height was still the knot of the whole family. Her peers grew up like mushrooms after a rain, and Xixi's height was always on the spot.
This made parents very worried. In order to find out the truth, they took the child to the hospital for examination. After the doctor's examination, they found out that the child has not grown up because of zinc deficiency in the body.
zinc is an essential trace element in the human body and plays a very important role in the growth of children.
zinc element can promote the body's metabolism and growth. If the body is zinc deficient for a long time, it will affect cell metabolism, hinder the function of the growth hormone axis, and then cause the baby to grow and develop slowly.
also has adverse symptoms such as taste disorder and decreased immunity. Zinc deficiency is mostly caused by factors such as fast metabolism and insufficient zinc intake, and zinc supplementation is needed in time.
After returning home, Xixi's mother began to adjust her child's diet. In just under three years, Xixi's height has risen sharply, and now it has reached 170 cm.

2-year-old girl is 170 cm tall. Pediatrician: 3 kinds of foods are the "king of heights", you can eat more
. Spinach
Spinach is the best source of iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin C. The carotene contained in spinach is converted into vitamin A in the human body. It can maintain normal vision and the health of epithelial cells, increase the ability to prevent infectious diseases, and promote children's growth and development.
In addition, spinach is rich in carotene, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, a certain amount of iron, vitamin E and other beneficial ingredients, which can provide a variety of nutrients in the human body; the iron contained in it has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on iron deficiency anemia .
. Egg food
There are many types of egg foods, and egg food is one of the essential foods for people, especially children. Eating more egg foods in daily life is conducive to improving the body's digestion and absorption of protein . Egg yolk and lecithin can also improve human memory, prevent Alzheimer's disease , and have the effect of nourishing the brain and enhancing the brain.
egg yolk can enhance liver metabolism and detoxification functions, reduce liver pressure and burden, and effectively prevent the occurrence of chronic liver disease. For children who are growing up, it is advisable to eat 1 to 2 eggs every morning.If you want to eat more, try to focus on protein and eat less egg yolks.
. Shiitake mushroom
As we all know, growing up is inseparable from vitamin D. We recommend that you eat some mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms are rich in vitamin D content, and the dried mushrooms contain more minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The iron content is more than 8 times higher than spinach, and the zinc content is more than 3 times higher than that of milk powder and soybeans. These are all minerals that are indispensable to human body functions.
dried mushrooms have a higher vitamin D content after being exposed to the sun. Of course, after eating mushrooms, don’t forget to bask in the sun, because vitamin D can only be absorbed by the human body after being converted into vitamin D3 by ultraviolet rays.

The best time for children to grow up
The best time for children to grow taller, that is, the time when height growth is the fastest, there are mainly the following 3 time points: 2
. Preschool
-7 years old is the first golden period for children to grow taller. Parents should pay attention to their children's dietary nutrition and let their children consume enough calcium. At this stage, the calcium in their bones is in the reserve period. They should actively correct the problem of children's picky food to prevent insufficient nutritional intake and calcium deficiency. If the calcium storage is insufficient, it will affect the growth of height.
, school-age
7-12-year-old children will grow rapidly, so nutrition must be guaranteed. In addition to calcium, protein, vitamins, and mineral elements cannot be lacking. Therefore, parents can arrange their children's diet scientifically and ensure that food is diversified. Of course, calcium supplementation is still the key point. If the child has calcium deficiency and wind heat, he can take supplements to supplement calcium reasonably.
. Although puberty
2-18 years old will grow taller, but it will be slower. However, some children whose height growth is not obvious in the previous two periods is the final stage of height growth. As long as they ensure dietary nutrition, they may grow about 3 cm a year. At this stage, you should supplement enough calcium and exercise more.

Emotions will affect the height of children. Parents must pay attention to
In the impression of most parents, as long as they supplement their children with enough nutrition, participate in more physical exercise, and spend more sunshine, they can promote their children's growth. In fact, this idea is very one-sided, and children's emotions also play an important role in height.
The growth and development of children is closely related to growth hormone . If the growth hormone secretion in the body is sufficient, the child's height growth rate can also be maintained within the ideal range. However, if the secretion of growth hormone is insufficient, it may cause yin growth. Emotion has a greater impact on the secretion of growth hormone, mainly manifested in two aspects:
. Bad emotions lead to endocrine disorders
If parents often beat, scold or scare their children, it will cause their children's mental frustration, which will cause endocrine disorders. Long-term endocrine disorders will have adverse effects on the secretion of growth hormone, resulting in insufficient secretion of growth hormone.
. Bad emotions affect sleep quality
Some children are in a state of high tension and anxiety in their mental state for a long time, resulting in poor sleep at night, often insomnia, and are unable to enter a deep sleep state.
growth hormone is mainly secreted at night, and it is necessary to ensure that in a deep sleep state, the longer the deep sleep time, the more the growth hormone secretion is, the more conducive it is to grow taller. Otherwise, it will lead to a decrease in the secretion of growth hormone and affect growth.
As parents, they must face up to the important impact of emotions on height. At the same time, they also have the responsibility to help children establish a healthy emotional system, let children learn to regulate their emotions, and help themselves get out of bad emotions. This is an important ability that can benefit children throughout their lives.
