Spring is the season when children grow the fastest in size. Every parent wants their child to grow taller, and there are many things we can do besides genetic factors.
Low pillow + hard board bed
My daughter is now in college and is 1.75 meters tall. The trick is that when she was an infant, I followed a friend’s instruction not to put a pillow under her head and to sleep on a hard bed, which is said to be good for the spine’s spreading and elongation, until now she is used to sleeping on a low pillow.
Expert advice: the longer you sleep, the more you leap. Ensure enough sleep, at least 10 hours of sleep every day, because the secretion of growth hormone has a circadian pattern, normal people in the 45 to 90 minutes after sleep, plasma growth hormone has a significant increase, and the night secretion of growth hormone more than 1/2 of the amount of the whole day. Children sleep well to grow taller. Growth hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, and the more it is secreted, the more it is beneficial to the baby’s growth. The amount secreted from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. the next day is three times the amount secreted during the 12 hours of daytime, so it is important to pay attention to the sleep of growing children, who must fall asleep at 9 p.m. every night to ensure that young children get 10 to 12 hours of sleep every day. Ensure good sleep and also create a good sleep environment, such as maintaining a quiet, comfortable bed and warm blankets. Children are not recommended to sleep on soft beds because of the developmental period, ordinary wooden beds can be.
Grab the rod dangling
A physical education teacher once told me that hanging a bar can pull long bones and joints, which is beneficial to increase the height of my son, from the age of two, at home on the door frame hanging tied to the bamboo pole, help my son hands grasp the pole natural hanging, each time a few seconds 200, adhere to several years, he is now playing volleyball in gymnasium, 1.88 meters tall.

Swimming + touching high exercise
I was sent to the swimming team for training by my parents since I was four years old, and I often did bouncing and touching exercises. (Fu Yanping, college student)
Bending and stretching exercises
I am 1.73 meters tall, not tall, but I heard from my parents that when I was small, every day I was made to lie flat on my back and grasp the iron pole at the head of the bed, while they pulled my feet and flexed and stretched hundreds of times, probably because they were stretched! (Wang Xingmei, reporter)
Bouncing exercise
If you want your child to grow taller, start at an early age, do more bouncing and stretching exercises, which can improve the elasticity of muscle ligaments and promote bone growth, but keep in mind that exercise should not be excessive, fatigue is easy to affect the pituitary gland secretion of growth hormone.
Expert advice: medical experts research, united children often participate in physical exercise than the average height difference of 4 cm to 8 cm, some even more than the non-athletic. The most effective long exercise programs are bouncing, swimming, hooping, playing basketball and pull-ups. Some physical or weight-bearing exercises, such as weight lifting, rallying, and robes, are not conducive to height growth. Medium-intensity sports, such as an hour or so a day, the project to jogging, ball, jumping rope and other conducive to children’s acceptance of the way to a slight sweat, is conducive to bone calcium and phosphorus metabolism, accelerate the mineral deposition in the bone, so that the bone density increases and promote growth and development. Children and adolescents often engage in sports, can promote the growth of bones, so that the bones become longer and thicker, bone density increases. Regular exercise also thickens muscle fibers and improves muscle strength, speed and endurance. Exercise also consumes excess fat and prevents obesity during the rapid growth period. Nowadays, children generally do not have enough outdoor activities, do not fully enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, and do not have enough exercise, which are not conducive to their growth. The easiest and most feasible option is to let your child jump on both feet one hundred times per minute for a total of ten minutes every day.
Stewed vegetables in bone broth
My parents are not tall, but we are 5 brothers in addition to the eldest brother 1.72 meters, we other 3 brothers are more than 2 meters tall, and all in high school before the end of the army and the provincial and municipal basketball team selected as athletes. Poor living conditions in those days, can not afford to buy meat and oil, my parents often asked acquaintances to buy bones for us to stew, every day to eat the chowder. Now it seems that the stewed bone soup chowder is our source of nutrition for many years.
Milk + eggs
We are not tall parents, but my son is now in his senior year of high school and is 1.88 meters tall. My approach is to make sure I drink two bags of milk and eat two tea eggs every day from the time my child is two years old, laying the material foundation for his bone development to grow.
Expert advice: balanced nutrition is the basis for ensuring that young children grow taller. Pay attention to consuming more protein, especially foods containing amino acids. Drink more milk, beans and bean products contain calcium and phosphorus necessary for bone growth; fish and shrimp, lean meat, poultry eggs, etc. also contain essential vitamins A, D and calcium and phosphorus; various vegetables such as bok choy, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, etc. are rich in vitamin C and A level calcium and other inorganic salts. Various fruits such as oranges, dates, hawthorn, persimmons, etc. are rich in vitamins; peanut rice, apricots, dried peaches, etc. are also good food for long. And white rice, glutinous rice, desserts and other foods should be eaten as little as possible; cola and juice also drink less as well; salt is also a big enemy of height, must develop the habit of eating less salt. Adolescent children should eat less animal offal, because the hormones contained therein may cause the child’s development to begin and end prematurely. Children grow fast and their body’s demand for calcium nutrition increases accordingly, so they should use more food such as fish, shrimp and seafood in their diet. In order to ensure the absorption of calcium nutrients, in addition to going outdoors in the sun more often, attention should be paid to providing a diet richer in vitamin D, such as eggs, milk, animal liver, seafood, etc. Take care to limit your baby from eating too much sugar or sweets, which can easily deplete the calcium and vitamin D in the body and lead to calcium deficiency. For healthy babies, dietary supplements are the safest and most effective countermeasure to meet their growth and development. Only weak and sickly babies can take reasonable medication under the guidance of a doctor. A glass of milk a day is very good for your child’s calcium, but don’t give your baby a dairy drink as yogurt. When buying yogurt for your baby, mothers should pay attention to the packaging. Generally speaking, the protein content in dairy drinks is greater than 1%, while yogurt is usually greater than 3%, and the difference is huge.
Prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases, such as bronchial asthma, chronic nephritis, congenital heart disease, childhood diabetes, rickets, malnutrition, etc., all of which can cause growth disorders and should be actively treated. The influence of psychological factors on children’s height development, which is often overlooked by everyone. If the psychological pressure is too high and long-term depression, growth and development will also be affected. Therefore, to make your child grow taller, keep your child in a happy mood.
Good appetite + jumping high
My fat child is 1.92 meters tall, he has a good appetite since he was a child, he is not picky about meat and vegetables, he likes all kinds of sports activities, he has participated in provincial and municipal youth games for many times from elementary school, junior high school and high school, he has won the runner-up in high jump and shot put championship. I think sports in adolescence is crucial to the growth of children. (Su Wentong Cadre)
Nutrition + Exercise
My son’s height is now 1.93 meters. A friend of mine abroad once told me: milk + eggs + jumping = the secret to growing taller. When my son was still very young, we gave him an unlimited amount of eggs every day, 1 pound of milk was a thunderbolt, and we would urge him to do jumping rope and some height-touching exercises every day. The child has been the backbone of the school sports team in elementary, junior high and high school, playing basketball and long-distance running are the child’s strong points. ( High temperature and Boss)
Expert advice: sleep + exercise + nutrition + not getting sick = “height increase medicine”. The researchers investigated the height of 16 provinces and cities, nearly 200,000 adolescents, and found that the order of their height and the order of sunshine time in the region is positively correlated, that is, the area with long sunshine time, adolescents grow taller; short sunshine time areas, adolescents grow shorter. Although the sunshine time is longer in summer than in spring, children’s outdoor activity time is shorter than in spring because of the excessive sunshine and high temperature. As a result, children actually receive the most sunlight throughout the year in spring, which has the greatest impact on their height. According to the seasonal pattern of growth and development, especially for spring growth, we need to adjust our children’s diet, exercise and living habits accordingly to obtain maximum growth. Some parents always hope to help their children grow through drugs or equipment, but it should be clear that not all children can only rely on drugs and equipment to help them grow.
