As the saying goes, “spring is born and summer grows,” and although the hot summer months are unbearably hot, they are indeed a very good season for children to grow taller. The experts say that ensuring sufficient sunlight hours will help children’s growth and development, parents should not be too “heartbroken” children, all day to cover the child in the air-conditioned room, in fact, sweating, tanning point does not matter, in a way, the more sweating, the faster the metabolism, the child’s growth and development will naturally be more vigorous.
The more you sweat, the faster your metabolism will be. Scientific studies have proven that adequate sunlight hours help children’s growth and development. For example, Beijing has 2,778.7 hours of sunshine per year, and children have good height development; Wuhan has 2,085.3 hours of sunshine per year, and its height development is slightly inferior; while Chengdu has a lot of fog and only 1,239.2 hours of sunshine per year, so its height development is inferior. Therefore, children should be given more time for outdoor activities to promote their growth and development.
Experts said, “‘Spring birth and summer growth’ has never been the same truth, summer is a very conducive to the growth of the golden season.” She introduced the sunlight is rich in infrared and ultraviolet rays, infrared rays can make blood vessels expand, promote blood circulation, stimulate bone marrow hematopoiesis; ultraviolet rays can kill bacteria in the skin and air, accelerate the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body, improve the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, promote children’s growth and prevent anemia and rickets. At the same time, the more you sweat during summer sports, the faster your metabolism will be, and the more your child’s growth and development will naturally flourish.
Parents should properly let their children “eat bitter” Those who give children a tonic or let them picky, partial food, so that they grow into ‘fat pier’ and ‘bean sprouts’ body shape practice, for adolescents This is not good for the growth and normal development of young people. China’s current family structure has a great constraint on the healthy growth of adolescents, most families are six adults around a child’s service, which has developed a child’s dainty, horizontal and fear of suffering habits, some parents prefer to let the child eat tonic, height increase drugs, but also unwilling to see the child exercise “suffer”, so that the child indifferent to the Fitness awareness, height will naturally be affected.
“Children after school, go swimming, jump rope, or and classmates to play shuttlecock is a good choice, do not be afraid of children sweating, tanning, all day at home blowing air conditioning is not good for children.”
Exercise insist on doing must have effect Research shows: the body grows taller factors, genetics only accounted for 23%, the acquired factors account for 77%. And the acquired factors, exercise and nutrition account for the “majority”. Exercise is not only useful for teenagers to grow taller, but also can eliminate excess fat and play a role in enhancing physical fitness.
“But it is important to note that exercise must be done consistently, ‘three days of fishing and two days of sunbathing’ type of exercise, will not receive satisfactory results.” Sun Yueyu said, but children under 10 years old should not play confrontational sports such as tug of war, as well as not premature muscle-bearing strength exercise such as weightlifting, while swimming, rope skipping, shuttlecock, etc. are good exercise.
Parents should pay attention to their children’s annual growth rate, which is generally less than 7 cm per year for children under 2 years old, less than 5 cm/year from 4.5 years old to the beginning of puberty, and less than 6 cm/year during puberty, suggesting the existence of growth disorders, which should be promptly found, said Wang Lanying. The timely detection and treatment of dwarfism is likely to cause physical and psychological harm to the child. Early treatment can maximize the adult height of the patient. Therefore, children who often do not reach the height standard should visit the pediatric endocrinology department for examination, and parents should not take their time with a “wait and see” mentality.
