Recently, Baoma Lanlan was melancholy about the height of her child: After winter, her son's height seemed to have entered a "dormant phase", and there was basically no increase.
Is there a problem with the child's physical development? Before thinking about it, the impatient Lan Lan took the child to the hospital for an examination. After the doctor asked about the situation, he explained, “The child’s physical development is normal. The reason why the child’s height grows slowly is because the winter is cold, which consumes people’s physical energy, so they grow. Slowly."
"Winter storage and spring hair" is a natural law of children's growth and development. After a winter energy reserve, children's height in spring will usher in the season of rapid elevation.
eat so much and good in winter, why do you grow slowly?
“Height growth does have a dormant period.” Wang Suting, the attending physician at the Pediatric Growth and Development Clinic of Zhengzhou Central Hospital, Zhengzhou University, pointed out that winter is a storage season. From the aspect of sunshine, it is mainly because of the short duration of winter sunshine, and all things grow. Relying on the sun, the sunshine time is short, the body growth will be slower.
In addition, in terms of diet, we often think that “eating meat in winter can protect you from the cold”, so everyone will eat more meat this season. In addition, there are fewer fresh vegetables in the winter season. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the heavier-tasting bacon has become a must for many families. The spare parts, relatively speaking, after the taste is heavy, the body's nutritional level will be in a high state.
In addition, the weather is cold in winter and there are fewer outdoor activities, which will also affect your growth in winter. The last point is that the weather changes greatly, and the child's chances of getting sick will be higher, and illness will also affect the growth of the child. Wang Suting pointed out that the above 4 points are common reasons for the short winter.
According to the World Health Organization survey, the growth rate of children's height is different in winter and spring. In general, the value of height increase in spring is 2-2.5 times that of the height increase in 3 months in winter. To achieve the desired growth rate, it is particularly important to lay a solid foundation in winter.
wants to make the child grow taller, don’t ignore these details.
"For the short sunshine time in winter, you can add some vitamin D to promote the absorption of calcium; in addition, according to the weather changes, add clothes to the child in time to avoid colds. Increase some indoor exercises to enhance your child’s physique.” Wang Suting pointed out that in sleep, it is recommended that children fall asleep before nine o’clock. The peak growth hormone secretion is from 11 pm to 2 am. Generally speaking, you can go to bed at 9 o’clock, which can guarantee 11 o’clock. Enter a deep sleep state, which provides favorable conditions for the secretion of adrenal hormone .
In the diet, pay attention to balanced nutrition. In winter, the intake of fatty, sweet and greasy food should be appropriately controlled. Pay attention to increase some fresh fruits and vegetables, reduce the intake of smoked foods such as bacon and bacon, and supplement appropriately Some protein foods, such as the most daily milk and eggs. In terms of physical exercise, because there are fewer outdoor exercises in the cold, some useful indoor exercises, such as skipping rope and touching high, should be appropriately increased.
Children grow up with three big pits, have you stepped on it?
Based on the outpatient experience over the years, Wang Suting discovered that there are several typical misunderstandings in many families regarding the growth of children. Z3z
calcium supplementation can grow taller?
The growth of the human body is actually a very complex process. It has many factors, such as genetic factors, nutritional factors, endocrine factors, and chronic disease factors, which may affect height growth. If
is really due to nutrient deficiency, such as bone deformation due to the lack of calcium, which affects the final height, calcium supplementation is effective for this group of people, but again, not everyone does not grow up It can be solved by calcium supplementation.
The more nutrition the better?
"Many parents have a nutritional misunderstanding in diet, thinking that children will grow taller if they eat more." Wang Suting pointed out that with the improvement of economic living standards, shortness caused by lack of nutrition has become less and less; instead, it is nutrition. The problem of surplus is becoming more and more prominent. Overnutrition can lead to a series of problems, such as obesity , obesity and then cause some metabolic problems that affect height. In addition, obesity is also positively related to children's precocious puberty.
Therefore, nutrition is not the more the better, but the balance.
Are children really "late growers"?
is the most misleading "late growth" problem. Wang Suting said that whether a child grows late depends on the child’s overall development.The comprehensive evaluation includes family medical history, and you should go to the hospital to take a bone age film for verification, because under normal circumstances, once a person’s epiphysis is closed, it is difficult to grow taller no matter what method.
In addition, it should be noted that even if the child grows late, the height of the child will generally not fall behind too much. For example, if it is 15 to 20 cm behind, the possibility of late growth can almost be ruled out.
"In this age of overnutrition, in fact, there are fewer and fewer late-growth children, so if it is not possible to determine whether the child is late-growth, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a comprehensive judgment and diagnosis." Wang Suting said.
