This season, little babies also grow fast! How can you make your baby taller when they are growing the fastest? Nutrition is a necessary factor that must not be ignored. Mysterious 5 ~ October grow fast The human growth rate in a year is not the same, the fastest growth is in May, an average of 7.3 millimeters; followed by 6 ~ October, an average of 6.3 millimeters. Therefore, experts at home and abroad suggest that in this “mysterious 5 ~ October”, should be appropriate to increase nutrition, strengthen the movement, in order to facilitate the growth and development of the body to achieve the best state. Why is the human body in May to October the fastest growing? Biologists and medical experts have found that a person’s growth rate in addition to race, genetics, endocrine, lifestyle habits and other factors, but also with the nutritional status, geography and climate and physical exercise are closely related. Entering the May to October, the earth back to spring, everything sprouting, a faction of vitality. At this time the organs and cells of the human body is very active, the body’s growth hormone secretion increased, growth and development accelerated, especially after a long winter, people like to outdoor activities, thus accelerating the growth rate is more obvious. Nutrition for bone refueling Because of the accelerated growth rate in May, it is necessary to consume more nutrients, so it is necessary to supplement a variety of nutrients in a timely manner in order to promote the growth and development of the human body and enhance the ability to resist disease. Nutrient 1: protein Protein is the basis of life, bone cell proliferation and muscle, organ development are inseparable from protein. The faster the human body grows and develops, the more need to supplement the protein, so what do babies eat to supplement protein? 1, dairy products milk is a nutritious ideal food. Every 100 grams of milk contains 70.5 kilocalories of calories, 3.4 grams of protein, 3.7 grams of fat, calcium, vitamin A and so on. The protein in milk has various amino acids necessary for human growth and development. The digestibility is above 98%. It is recommended to ensure daily intake of formula or milk, and eat more cheese and yogurt. Be careful not to replace milk with milk-containing beverages, because milk-containing beverages have low protein content and their main component is water. 2, soybean products soybean is currently the highest protein content, the best quality crops. The human body can not synthesize and must be ingested from food 8 essential amino acids, soybeans in addition to less methionine, the rest are more abundant. Especially lysine content is higher. It can be said that the soybean protein, amino acid composition is more comprehensive, made of soy milk, tofu digestion and absorption is easy, is considered a high-quality protein. 3, animal food eggs, meat, fish containing essential amino acids are more complete, rich in protein, high nutritional value, of which fish is a treasure trove of protein, and delicate meat, easy to absorb, to the baby to do steamed fish, fish balls, fish puree, fish floss, etc. are good. Nutrient 2: Calcium The human body’s growth, determined by the growth and development of the bones, including the growth of the long bones of the lower limbs and the height of the most closely. That is to say, only the continuous growth of epiphyseal cartilage cells in the long bones, the human body will grow taller. Calcium is the main component of the bones, so it is necessary to supplement calcium-rich foods. Milk is the most ideal source of calcium, 100 grams of milk calcium content of 125 milligrams. And easy to absorb, it is best to ensure that about 500ml per day; in addition to soy products, shrimp and a variety of green leafy vegetables and algae also contain more calcium. Tip: to go outdoors more sunshine, increase the opportunity of ultraviolet irradiation, in order to facilitate the synthesis of vitamin D in the body, promote gastrointestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, so as to ensure the healthy growth of bones. Babies born between 15 weeks and 2 years old can be supplemented with calcium preparations under the guidance of a doctor. Nutrient 3: Vitamins Various vitamins are also vital for promoting growth and development, and are good for boosting your baby’s immunity to avoid getting sick. Various vegetables and fruits are very rich in vitamins, and the fresher, the higher the vitamin content. 1, spinach Spinach is a treasure trove of vitamins. In order to meet the needs of growth and development, you may want to eat 100 grams of spinach every day. In addition, lettuce, lettuce and peppers also contain more vitamins. 2, carrot carrot contains a lot of vitamin B1, B2, B12, niacin, carotene and so on. Baby’s dishes every day to add 100 grams of carrots, the color of the meal is not only good-looking nutrients are also richer. 3, citrus citrus among the carotenoids, B1, C content were 3 times that of apples, then tangerines, mandarins, oranges, lemons are part of the citrus food, can be more choices. Nutrient 4: trace elements trace elements, although the need for a very small amount, but the role is not small, especially zinc, zinc deficiency in 80% of children stunted, which is due to the lack of zinc caused by baby anorexia, affecting the growth and development of the baby, the intake of zinc should be 15 mg per day. Shellfish such as oysters, clams, oysters, mussels, etc. contain more zinc, and the zinc content, and the first oysters, 15 grams of oyster meat containing zinc to meet the baby’s needs throughout the day. Other foods such as animal liver, coarse grains, fish, meat and eggs also contain considerable amount of zinc. In addition, foods with high zinc content include apples, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, onions, bananas, cabbage and various nuts. So make sure your baby eats them regularly. Don’t let junk food steal nutrition Some food is delicious, but not good for baby growth, these foods are mainly less nutritious, but can increase the baby’s sense of satiety, affecting the baby’s intake of other foods, some also consume calcium in the body, ultimately leading to malnutrition. 1, a variety of carbonated beverages Some data show that 60% of children who prefer to drink carbonated beverages due to calcium deficiency affects normal development, especially cola-type drinks in the phosphorus content is too high, excessive drinking leads to the body of calcium, phosphorus ratio imbalance, resulting in developmental delays. 2, a variety of candy and sugary drinks Eating too much sugar will affect the consumption of body fat, resulting in fat accumulation, but also affect the calcium metabolism. Some professionals believe that if the amount of sugar to reach 16% to 18% of the total amount of food, can make the body of calcium metabolism disorders, preventing the body of the role of calcification, affecting growth. On the other hand, there is the term “false calories” in nutritional terminology, i.e. calories without nutrition. Excessive consumption of sugar-containing beverages will disrupt the digestive system, so as to affect normal eating, resulting in malnutrition. 3, a variety of over-processed food fried food, puffed food, pickled food, canned products due to nutritional losses in the production process, and the use of a variety of additives, such as flavors, preservatives, colors, etc., although they provide a large number of calories, but proteins, vitamins and other nutrients are very little, long-term consumption of such foods, can lead to malnutrition in children. Some mothers say that babies love to eat these foods, in fact, the home does not have these foods, only to provide the baby with fresh homemade food, you can avoid the baby to eat, the baby can not see, naturally, will not pester the mother for these foods. Bao mother tips 1, long high also need sufficient high quality sleep Promote the human body to grow taller hormone – growth hormone secretion in the sleep state is awake in the state of about 3 times, the peak of growth hormone secretion in the evening between 10:00 ~ 2:00 a.m., after falling asleep 35 ~ 45 minutes after the start of secretion increase, so it is best to go to bed before 9 ~ 10:00, every night to ensure that Babies have more than 9 hours of high quality sleep time, high quality means that the baby’s sleep quality should be good, deep sleep time should be long enough, and, sleep muscle relaxation, is conducive to the joints and bones stretching. This allows the baby to grow taller day by day in his sleep. 2, more exercise is conducive to bone growth Regular outdoor exercise can promote blood circulation throughout the body, to ensure that the skeletal muscles and brain cells get enough nutrition, prompting the bones to become thicker, bone density thickening, resistance to pressure and folding ability to strengthen. Exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, so that the bones, muscles and brain develop better. Therefore, you should take your baby to play outdoors more often, running, jumping, kicking a ball, all help bone development.
