As parents, they all hope that their babies will grow tall and big. However, some details in daily life may affect the baby's height.
1 Sleeping too late
Children Sleep disorder There are several different reasons, one is physiological, and common causes include hunger, overfilling, environmental changes, separation from mothers, etc.
Excessive activity during the day and excited at night; watch too much TV; follow your parents' living habits.
It is important to know that night is the peak of secretion of growth hormone , and sleeping too late will miss this peak.
Parents should strive to create a good sleeping environment for their children - the bedroom should be well ventilated and the temperature should be appropriate, and noise and light interference should be minimized.
Don't let your children read books, play with toys, or watch TV in the bed, tell them that the children's bed is only used for sleeping.
2 In a bad mood
If the baby is often in an environment where he is criticized, blamed, frightened, or even beaten, scolded, or scolded, or his parents often quarreled, causing the baby to suffer from mental frustration and depression, it can cause the baby to have endocrine disorders, reduce growth hormones, and lead to poor growth and development.
Make the baby feel happy and is also an important part of the baby's growth.
creates a peaceful and warm family and social environment for the baby, so that the baby can grow taller happily and healthily.
3 Exercise and sunbathing time
Many parents ignore the baby's exercise and sunbathing time.
Sunlight can stimulate pineal gland in the brain, making it produce more melatonin and stimulate the growth and development of the human body.
exercise is the most important factor in growing taller after birth. Some surveys show that the exercise group continues to grow by 5 to 7 cm more than the non-exercise group.
Suitable exercise can cause the epiphyseal cartilage to be stimulated during the squeeze friction, accelerate the division of bone cells, and improve the blood supply and metabolism of bones.
4 Nutritional diet is unbalanced
Some parents have problems feeding their babies, such as eating only meat dishes and eating less fruits and vegetables, which leads to nutrient deficiency, resulting in malnutrition and affecting the normal growth of children.
From the pregnancy period of the mother, we should pay attention to nutritional supplements, so that the fetus can obtain good nutrition in the mother and lay the foundation for growing taller in the future.
After the baby is born, try to breastfeed within 6 months.
html After the age of 1, pay attention to the balanced nutrition of the diet, and combine meat and vegetables, including animal and plant protein combination, coarse and fine grain combination, and vegetables and meat dishes.
Some foods can promote height, such as milk is rich in protein and amino acid , and also contains a lot of calcium and phosphorus.
Fish is also a treasure house of protein. The content of phosphorus exceeds that of meat, which is very helpful for human growth and development.
spinach and carrot is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C and is a recognized treasure house of vitamins.
Oranges are rich in vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C and calcium. Eating two oranges a day is helpful for height.
In addition, seafood, seaweed , meat, eggs, nuts, and mushrooms are also good foods to promote height growth.
5 Babies are over-obese
Many parents like fat babies and often over-feed.
Currently, the incidence of pediatric obesity is 5% to 10%.
diet-related obesity is called exogenous obesity (also known as physiological or feeding obesity), which means that the calories produced by the food consumed exceed normal needs, and the excess heat-source nutrients are converted into fat in the body, forming obesity.
Exogenous obesity is generally mild obesity, often with a family history, mostly obese from infancy and toddlerhood, have good health, and tend to have a higher figure and early maturity. The development of adolescence can be advanced, but the height of normal people after adulthood is shorter than that of normal people.
The key to preventing obesity in babies is to limit overeating and increase exercise appropriately, so as to reduce calorie intake and increase calorie consumption.
The daily lipids and sugars in food should be reduced (but not completely prohibited), and the total calories should be lower. Infants and young children should eat regularly and regularly, without snacks, and try to eat less and simpler dinners.
6 The growth of low-birth weight babies is not paid attention to.
Low-birth weight babies are <2.5> to be short.
If children like this type of child will catch up with the normal development progress through appropriate nutritional supplements after birth, they will not be short in the future, but there are still 10% to 15% of babies who cannot catch up, which will lead to shortness, that is, normal growth rate, always lower than normal people, and even shorter height when they are adults.
Therefore, early diagnosis and early examination are required, and early height-enhancing intervention is carried out. If necessary, the doctor will decide after the examination whether to inject growth hormone to make the baby's height reach a normal level.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation treatment also has good effects on short children with malnourished nutrition.
