Spring is here, and it is the season of growth, and it is also the golden season for children’s height growth. Quickly check the height reference table to see if there is still a gap for your child, and seize the opportunity to let your child’s height soar up!
Traditional medical theory emphasizes that “spring is the season of growth, summer is the season of growth, and the human body is no exception. In spring, the human body has a strong metabolism, blood circulation is accelerated, respiratory and digestive functions are strengthened, and the secretion of endocrine hormones, especially growth hormones, is increased, creating “golden conditions” for children in the growth and development period. In addition, the UV content of the spring sun is the highest of all seasons. UV rays are also beneficial to the growth and development of bones, because vitamin D in food or in human skin tissue can only be absorbed by the body through UV rays, thus promoting the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract and providing sufficient calcium and phosphorus for the growth and development of bones.
Therefore, in order for children to seize the golden season of growth, parents should strengthen care from nutrition, sleep, exercise and other aspects.
