Now that everyone’s standard of living has improved, the average height of children has increased a lot compared to many years ago, and it is a matter of pride for many parents for their children to grow into a taller person. In fact, in order for children to grow taller, in addition to keeping up with nutrition, adequate sleep and not being too fat in weight are all important things. Each age group of children in the end how tall is considered to meet the standard, the parents and teachers may wish to see! Here, we will take a look at the height standard table for boys and girls aged 1-18 years old, your child’s height is up to standard? How to help your child grow taller? Five dietary points and seven prescriptions for growth exercises. 1, the basic stage – preschool The preschool period (4 to 6 years old) is an important period for children’s growth and development, but also the basic stage of children’s growth. 6 years old or so calcium supplementation, the future growth of children is very important, at this time, the human skeleton in the reserve period, the daily amount of calcium required for bone development is 800 mg per day. 800 mg per day. The children of this age, there may be partial food, anorexia, calcium intake is seriously inadequate, affecting the calcium reserves in the bones, which will directly lead to children short, developmental height increase reduced. 2014 National Nutrition Survey shows that the dietary calcium intake of our residents only reached about 40% of the recommended intake, so the children of this stage need calcium supplementation. 2, the sudden increase stage — school age 10 to 16 years old is the child development period, the child head is like a spring shoot, “whoosh” straight up. Studies have found that for every 30,000 mg of calcium absorbed during this period, the child can grow 1 cm taller. 3, the sprint stage — puberty Male 17 to 25 years old, female 16 to 23 years old, is the final sprint stage of growth. Studies have found that the epiphyseal cartilage of adolescents at this stage has not yet really healed, and there is still a potential for growth of 2 to 3 cm per year. At this time, supplementing adequate amounts of calcium can fully exploit their growth potential, allowing them to “go one step further with a hundred-foot pole. The three golden periods are interlocked. The three golden growth periods of children are like dominoes, one after the other, a continuous dynamic process, this stage is the basis for the next stage of growth. Children with insufficient calcium intake during the reserve period will be affected by improper diet and poor nutrition, which will affect the height growth during the developmental period; children who fail to consume sufficient calcium during the developmental period will inevitably affect the final sprint for growth. Therefore, it is important to ensure adequate intake of calcium in all stages of a child’s life and not to take it lightly. To improve the acquired height, you need to do the following: 1, exercise Is a reasonable amount of exercise, like athletes like high-intensity exercise, but will increase the burden on the child’s joints, inhibit the child’s growth and development. Jumping rope for improving children’s height effect is relatively obvious, operation and easy, parents can let children jump once a day, each time ten minutes, adhere to it, can receive good results. In addition, basketball, badminton, swimming, etc. are very good sports, parents had better help their children to develop a good habit of loving sports. 2, sleep It is best to go to bed early, growth hormone secretion is the most vigorous time from 10:00 pm to 2:00 midnight. Parents should not let their children go to bed more than 10 o’clock, elementary school students better go to bed before 9:30, to ensure that eight hours of sleep every day. 3, nutrition must be balanced, children who are partial and picky eaters, it is easy to grow taller. Parents should give their children enough protein, such as milk, meat, etc., zinc, calcium, iron and other trace elements should also pay attention to the lack of the same will cause growth retardation, miss the best growth time, it is difficult to catch up later. 4, disease is also a key factor affecting height, parents should also pay attention to improve the child’s immunity, if the child has a long-term cough, allergic rhinitis and other chronic diseases, need to be treated early. 5 dietary keys to help children grow taller: 1, diet balance The growth of the human body, entirely from the quality of imported food, want to make children grow taller, a variety of nutrients should be balanced. Every day to ensure that the number of food samples eaten in 25 to 30 kinds, than a day to eat only three or five kinds of things to get much richer nutrition. Recommended food vegetable and fruit salad: cucumbers, apples, bananas, onions, lettuce, pears, oranges, etc. cut into small pieces into a bowl, pour salad dressing can be. Mixed grain porridge: rice, black rice, red beans, dates, raisins, etc. washed and added to water, cooked together for 1 hour is ready. Mixed rice: put oil in the pot, the oil is hot, put eggs, peas, sweet corn kernels, ham, cooked into the rice together and stir-fried, and finally put cucumbers, scallions stir-fried a few times that is ready. 2, calcium should be sufficient calcium is the basis for bone growth. If the diet can not often take in the amount of calcium required by the physiology, blood calcium and soft tissues in the amount of calcium is insufficient, you must take calcium from the bones, and the lack of calcium in the bones, the result will lead to osteoporosis, vertebral deformation, spine curvature. Bones do not get enough nutrients, of course, can not grow properly, let alone grow taller. Recommended foods containing more calcium are: dairy products, eggs, fish, shellfish, tofu and beans, sesame paste, pumpkin seeds, etc. (vitamin D, vitamin C, lactose, etc. all help the absorption of calcium). 3, protein every day In the growth period of children, the demand for protein is much higher than that of adults, such as insufficient supply will affect the growth of height. In addition, collagen and mucin are also organic components of the composition of the bones. Recommended foods: chicken, beef, fish and shrimp, eggs, milk, tofu are rich in protein. 4, iron, zinc, copper can not be missing human demand for them is not large, but can not be missing, if they are missing, the child will have a variety of problems. Children who lack zinc have no appetite to see anything, which inevitably affects growth. Iron is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin, and copper is a catalyst for the synthesis of hemoglobin. If the food supply of iron and copper is insufficient, the synthesis of hemoglobin is bound to be hindered, and growth, intellectual development and immune function will be affected, and the child may often fall ill. Recommended foods rich in iron: animal liver and other offal, beef, lamb, egg yolk, fish, red beans, spinach. Zinc-rich foods: oysters, animal liver. Copper-rich foods: pig liver, pig blood, shrimp, crab, shellfish. 5, fresh vegetables and fruits Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which are essential for the human body. Vitamins A and C can make children have normal resistance. 6, recommended food: vegetables: cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, green peppers, young bamboo shoots, tomatoes, green onions. Fruits: oranges, bananas, pears, apples, grapes, peaches, apricots, watermelon. These seven types of exercises will make your child “taller”. In addition to paying attention to nutrition, sleep and disease prevention, moderate exercise can help children grow taller. Previous studies have shown that children who regularly participate in physical exercise are on average 4 to 8 cm taller than children of the same age who do not participate in exercise, therefore, it is recommended that children exercise outdoors every day. 1.After jogging for 5 to 7 minutes in the morning, do flexibility and relaxation exercises for 20 minutes, including doing leg splits, bending back and forth, shaking and shaking the body, and other movements. 2, hanging on the bar (20 to 30 seconds each time).

Double-legged jumping up, single-legged jumping up to do in turn. Each exercise should try to do, and strive to jump as high as possible each time. 4, boarding 20-30 meters high small slope or stairs, relaxed when up, down to increase the speed, repeat 2 to 4 times. 5.Ask two people to assist, one person to hold hands, the other person to grab the feet, while gently pulling the body in the opposite direction, each time 20 seconds. 6.Swim. 7.Play basketball, play volleyball. 8.
