Ms. Huang's son Xiaojun is 14 years old this year. Perhaps other parents are still worried about how to make their children eat more when they are young, but Xiaojun has exposed the attribute of "eating food" since childhood, especially eating meat.

Xiaojun's parents are 1.70m and 1.60m respectively. They feel that they have no hope of leaping in height, and they all hope that their son Xiaojun can grow taller. So they are very happy to see that their children can eat especially. They think that children need to eat well to grow up healthily. It tastes good.

In order to satisfy Xiaojun's appetite and let the children get good nutrition, Ms. Huang kept cooking for her son in different ways, and also learned to make supplements such as medicated diet. Xiaojun refuses to come to her mother's craft, and every meal can sweep away the dishes on the table.

The effect of "eating food" is also quite remarkable. By the time Xiaojun 10 is old, his height is already higher than that of children of the same age. However, after entering junior high school, Xiaojun became fatter and fatter, and everything he ate was horizontal. Now Xiaojun 14 years old, with a height of only 1.59 meters and a weight of 148 kg, and his voice has changed a little. Now Ms. Huang is very worried: "What if the meat is not long?"

Interpretation of Li Jiajing, the instructor of Bi's growth and development

After examination, it was found that Xiaojun was fat, developed early, and had little room for height growth, and his epiphysis had tended to close. Even through a series of height intervention management, it is unlikely to grow taller. As for the child's hope to grow to 1.70 meters, that's impossible.

Li Jiajing, Bi's growth and development tutor, explained: Obesity will affect children's height. Obesity can be solved through later efforts, but once the growth and development period is over, it is difficult to remedy children's height. Therefore, children should not only care about eating, but also pay attention to sexual development and obesity. Obese children can easily enter adolescence ahead of schedule. The boy's voice change and the girl's menarche are already signs that a person enters the end of adolescence, and the height growth is only 7-8 cm at most. In general, the height of junior two boys (boys with voice changes or beards) is less than 1 m 6, and may never grow to1m 7; Girls are less than1.5m in height at menarche, and may never grow to1.6m..

popular science knowledge

10 Fat children will be short after 9.

Research shows that:

Childhood obesity can easily reach the threshold of sexual maturity, and most obese children stop their height development earlier than their peers.

According to the follow-up study of 6.5438 million boys and girls of different ages, it is proved that children develop one year earlier and their height is 7 cm shorter on average.

According to the 20 15 survey report on adolescent healthy weight management, among Chinese children, there are 1 obese children on average, and 9 of them are short stature.

There is a time limit for people's height growth.

Clinical medicine shows that:

In general, human epiphysis will close at the age of 14 and 15. Once the epiphysis is closed, it is impossible to grow taller by any means.

Of course, there are very few children who have not closed their doors until they graduate from junior high school, but they can still grow taller. That really belongs to "growing late and developing late". However, such examples are extremely rare. It is difficult for 99% of children to grow taller after graduating from junior high school. If the boy's height is less than 160cm when the epiphysis of junior middle school is close to closing, he may never grow to 170cm. Many parents wait for their children to "grow up late". Research shows that among the 65,438+000 children waiting for "late childbearing", 97% children are deprived of the opportunity to grow up, which will eventually delay their children.

Eating well doesn't necessarily make you taller.

According to the Survey on the Growth and Development of Teenagers and Children in China, at least 80% of children in China have early developmental problems because of eating too much and eating unscientific, and their development is advanced by 1 year, and their height is 7 cm shorter.

According to the experience of Japan and South Korea, with the changes of modern living environment and diet structure, more and more children begin to regularly assess whether the nutrition needed for growth and development is balanced and comprehensive, and eliminate the growth and height risks caused by "eating" in time. In addition, many parents believe that calcium supplementation can make children grow taller, and the amount of calcium determines the hardness of bones. Simply supplementing calcium will not only make them grow taller, but also affect the intake of other trace elements.
