What are the diets that affect height

  Every parent wants their children to grow taller. Often parents turn to a variety of height-enhancing products: such as height-enhancing drugs, height-enhancing food, height-enhancing shoes (insoles), height-enhancing underwear, height-enhancing knee pads, etc., but often against their wishes, in fact, the details of life and the height of the child is closely related, especially the following aspects.  1, nutrition To reasonably regulate the diet, both to ensure adequate nutrition, but also to appropriate moderation. Parents can buy a copy of the “Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents” and learn to match nutrition well. And pay attention to the following three points: (1) no partial food (2) do not eat snacks and drinks; regular diet, fasting and hunger before three meals, because growth hormone will be secreted more when hungry than when full. (3) Do not take too many supplements, which can easily lead to early epiphyseal closure. Of course, if zinc, calcium or vitamin D deficiency is detected, it can be appropriately supplemented.  2. Sleep Adequate and regular sleep is necessary. As growth hormone secretion is mainly secreted during deep sleep at night, especially between 11pm and midnight, more secretion is needed. And children generally enter deep sleep only 1-2 hours after going to sleep; it is recommended that children should preferably go to bed before 10 pm. It is recommended to watch TV, computer, play mobile games overall time to control less than 30 minutes a day; at the same time, do not put TV, computer in the room where the child sleeps.  3, mental factors Parents should maintain a good and happy mood. Research has found that parents who are nervous, depressed and anxious will also affect the growth of their children. On the other hand, the lack of love, long-term separation from parents, lonely and introverted children will also grow a little slower. Parents are advised to make efforts to create a happy and relaxed family atmosphere so that their children can grow happily. No worries and no worries are good for growth and development.  4, sports medical research studies show that the same age and the same sex children and adolescents, often participate in physical exercise than the average height difference of 4-8 centimeters than those who do not love sports, and some even more. However, exercise should be scientific, the first should do aerobic exercise, and then should pay attention to adhere to. Exercise should be medium-intensity, regular, continuous, no less than 30 minutes each time, as far as possible in the outdoors, so that in a certain period of time can make the body growth hormone content increased significantly, thus increasing height. Too little exercise (such as walking, cars, etc.), or heavy exercise (such as marathon running, long-distance skiing, etc.) will not increase height, the former because of insufficient stimulation, the latter because it makes the body extremely weak (for example, a day to complete a thousand jumps and an excessive amount of heavy barbell lifting exercises can even hinder the growth of long bones). Effective exercise programs are bouncing, swimming, playing basketball, single-bar pull-ups, jogging, cycling, basketball, badminton, etc. can also be.  5, endocrine factors The more common is growth hormone deficiency. It can be treated with growth hormone. The growth hormone currently used is genetically recombinant, and its molecular structure is exactly the same as that of human growth hormone, and since it is a replacement therapy, there are fewer side effects. However, it is still necessary to follow the doctor’s advice and visit the hospital’s specialist clinic regularly during the course of growth hormone treatment. Regular height measurements, IGF-1, thyroid hormone and blood glucose tests should also be performed in order to adjust the GH dose in a timely manner. In conclusion, parents should pay attention to several factors such as nutrition, sleep, mental factors and exercise, and then consider using growth hormone and other medications when necessary. Do not rely on drugs, health supplements, etc.
