Spring, the best season for children to grow taller A research study by the World Health Organization shows that children grow fastest in spring. This is mainly due to the fact that children are affected by sufficient infrared and ultraviolet rays in spring, the blood circulation in the body is accelerated, the blood circulation of the pituitary gland is also accelerated, which promotes the secretion of pituitary growth hormone, while bone cells also receive more nutrients due to the skin synthesis of vitamin D. As a result, children naturally grow taller. Parents should seize this great opportunity to make their children’s height have a “surge”. So, what to do to prepare?
1, scientific nutrition to enhance nutrition can make children grow taller, which is known to many parents, but many parents do not understand how to strengthen nutrition. The scientific method is to follow the principle of dietary balance, and on this basis to properly increase the nutrients conducive to growth, such as foods rich in lysine, arginine and taurine, such as milk, peanuts, oysters, kelp, spinach, tomatoes, celery, carrots, citrus, millet, buckwheat, etc.. And sweets, carbonated beverages, coffee, fast food, etc. are not beneficial to growth, pay attention to limit.
2, adequate sleep Adequate sleep is one of the necessary conditions for growing taller. Because the peak secretion of growth hormone occurs after sleeping. The growth hormone secretion is more, the child’s height will naturally be “higher”. Therefore, adolescents in the growth period should arrange their work and rest time reasonably and not stay up late, otherwise it will affect their height. In addition, parents should create a quiet and comfortable sleep environment for children, a glass of milk before bedtime will help children sleep well enough to sleep.
3, suitable exercise Exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, especially bouncing can stimulate bone growth. The secretion of growth hormone generally reaches its highest point half an hour after exercise, so children should be allowed to do more outdoor activities, mainly free stretching exercises, including: basketball, rope skipping, swimming, high jumping, dancing, or taking more stairs and walks. And compressive sports are not good for growth.
4.Medication At present, there are three major types of methods to treat short stature: growth hormone supplementation, Chinese medicine preparation, and broken bone lengthening. According to clinical observation, supplemental growth hormone treatment is effective and has few side effects. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved growth hormone for growth hormone deficiency, congenital ovarian hypoplasia, idiopathic short stature, children younger than fetal age and other indications. Due to the influence of the concept of “children have early growth and late growth”, many parents usually find out that their children are short in stature only after their children have stopped growing, and lose the opportunity to treat them. Therefore, parents should pay special attention to their children’s growth during the adolescent development period.
