For children, parents are most anxious about height. People with superior height can not only see far, but also have more opportunities. Whether it is school recruitment, company recruitment, or blind dates and marriages, taller people have advantages.
Modern society pays great attention to appearance, and height is a kind of appearance, so many people fall into height anxiety from parents to children, from individuals to society.
The height increase of children is usually before puberty, that is, when the child is still confused, the height has been fixed. Most of the height is inherited from parents, and some of them can be compensated by the day after tomorrow.
In the process of children growing taller, parents should give their children enough nutrition, enough sleep, and sufficient exercise so that their children can grow taller.
There are three golden periods for children to grow taller and have three golden periods
preschool age
4~6 years old is the basic stage for children to grow taller. The bones should lay a good nutritional foundation during the reserve period and have sufficient calcium in the body. The calcium element required for bone development is about 800 mg per day. In the pre-school age, parents should cultivate their children's habit of not picky eating and avoid calcium deficiency due to partial eating and anorexia.
school age
At this age, if children absorb 30,000 mg of calcium every day, they will grow one centimeter taller, so parents should supplement their children with more calcium.
adolescence
14-year-old boy has a height of more than 178. Pediatrician: It is recommended to eat 4 more items, which may be beneficial to growing taller
My friend's son Congcong is 14 years old this year, with a height of 178 cm. He is envied by his classmates. Everyone thinks that Congcong's parents are tall, so Congcong inherits the height of his parents.
Actually, it is not what everyone thinks. Congcong’s parents’ height is not outstanding. Congcong was still shorter in the class when he was in elementary school and was often ridiculed by his classmates. However, since he went to junior high school, his height has suddenly risen.
Because he grew taller, Congcong became confident and joined the school's basketball team. The parents of many classmates in the class were like Congcong's parents, asking how to help their children grow taller.
Congcong's mother told everyone that Congcong used to have bad spleen and stomach, and it was difficult to absorb anything, so the nutrition could not keep up and his height grew very slowly.
Finally, he took Congcong to the pediatric hospital to regulate his spleen and stomach. At the suggestion of the pediatrician, he often gave Congcong some foods that helped him grow taller, so the 14-year-old Congcong's height exceeded 178 cm.
