▓ Sports Many people think that jumping sports such as skipping rope and playing basketball will help them grow taller, which is true from a medical point of view. According to the research, it is found that excessive compression of the growth plate will cause growth retardation, but moderate and intermittent compression or stretching of the growth plate can stimulate its growth. Therefore, children and teenagers who want to grow taller have to do sports, especially some bouncing sports. However, excessive weight training such as gymnastics and weightlifting will hinder growth, and doctors suggest that it is best to avoid it during the growth stage. ▓ Hormone secretion The secretion of many hormones in the human body dominates or affects our growth and development, such as growth hormone, sex hormone, thyroxine, parathyroid hormone and insulin. ▓ Sleep As mentioned above, human growth is mainly influenced by growth hormone, which is secreted especially vigorously at night, so if you want to grow taller, don't stay up at the expense of sleep time, and try to sleep before 1 1 p.m. Diseases Congenital diseases such as heart, kidney, lung and liver, bone diseases, endocrine and metabolic diseases, and Turnur syndrome will all affect normal growth and development. Except for a few people who are short stature due to family genetic factors, if they are malnourished, they can make up for it by supplementing nutrition, but if they are abnormal growth caused by diseases, they should seek medical advice as soon as possible. Many parents are worried about how to judge whether their children grow normally, and sometimes they are even too worried, forcing their children to eat hard, or asking around for the secret recipe of "increase". Doctors suggest that parents can evaluate their children's growth from two aspects: measuring their height every six months. Under normal circumstances, children will grow at least 5 ~ 6 cm tall every year before puberty. If the child is less than 4 cm in one year, parents should take the child to pediatrics and ask a doctor to evaluate it to further understand the causes of growth retardation. Refer to the growth curve in Children's Health Handbook. If the child's height is lower than the third percentile of the same age group, it is regarded as pathological short stature and needs examination and treatment. However, parents should not be too happy when their children are superior. If the growth curve exceeds the 97th percentile of the same age group, it may be abnormal and must be checked and confirmed. ▓ Psychological factors with excessive pressure will cause endocrine dysfunction in human body, which will lead to insufficient secretion of growth hormone, thus limiting growth. In addition, too much pressure can also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. Children not only have a bad appetite, but also have poor absorption ability. In the long run, it will lead to malnutrition and it is very difficult to grow taller. The secret of being tall and strong. Although we have to "resign ourselves to fate" because of genetic limitations, both doctors and nutritionists believe that the most effective way to "do what we can" is to start with diet and cooperate with regular exercise. It is not difficult for parents to make their children grow tall and strong as long as they master a few dietary secrets. Observe the principle of balanced diet. Children, like adults, should eat six kinds of food every day. Parents can refer to the daily dietary guidelines of the Department of Health to understand the dietary needs of children of different ages. (See table) Adolescent children grow faster and have more activities. In order to provide energy and nutrition for growth and development, the demand for heat is relatively high. Boys need to consume 2150 ~ 2,650 calories a day, and girls need 2100 ~ 2,200 calories. Parents lead by example, not partial eclipse. Many studies have pointed out that children's eating habits from childhood are most influenced by their parents. Weng Huiling, a nutritionist at National Taiwan University Hospital, believes that if children want to grow well, it is the most basic principle not to be partial to food. Parents should change as much as possible when matching their children with three meals, so that children can try all kinds of food from an early age. Eat a variety of foods, so don't worry about the lack of nutrients needed for growth. Don't make negative comments about food in front of children. For example, "Bitter gourd is so bitter, do you dare to eat it? A casual remark by an adult will make a child establish a specific impression on a specific food, which will later become an excuse for him to refuse to eat. Of course, don't use food as a tool to reward or punish children. Teach children a balanced diet. Most meals in modern dual-income families are eaten out, and many parents give their children money to buy their own lunch. Nutritionist Weng Huiling suggested that parents should pay more attention to their children's eating out, instill some healthy eating concepts in their children, such as eating less fried and fried things, choosing balanced and diverse dishes, and eating all six foods. " Parents can't control their children's diet, which will easily lead to malnutrition in the long run, "she stressed. Avoid making children fat or dieting to lose weight. Li Junxian, a pediatrician at Guangxin Hospital, pointed out that the bone age of obese children progresses faster than their actual age because they consume too much calories, fat and sugar. Although they are taller than other children at first, they may not grow tall in the future because their growth period is compressed in advance. In fact, it is very simple to prevent children from getting fat. As long as they limit the number of high-calorie foods such as hamburgers and French fries, drink less sugary drinks and exercise regularly, there will be no obesity problem. In addition, nutritionist Weng Huiling believes that modern young girls are influenced by the slim figure of idol stars. Even if their weight is normal, they still try their best to diet and lose weight, which not only misses the opportunity of growth and development, but also seriously affects their health as adults. The golden time of growth and development is fleeting. If you want your child to grow tall and strong, seize the opportunity to practice Professor Jian Kang's "secret recipe for increasing height". The growth of bones is indispensable for the growth of sports children. Children who don't exercise enough have no appetite during the day and can't sleep at night. As a result, I was sleepy in the morning and wanted to sleep, but I couldn't sleep at night. Go to class without breakfast in the morning, feel groggy for a day, and obviously have insufficient exercise during the day. Exercise itself can promote the secretion of growth hormone. It can make people fall asleep, and you know it can promote the secretion of growth hormone. After full exercise, you can increase your appetite and sleep at night. In the morning, I can wake up naturally, have a good breakfast and start a new day with a good attitude. What kind of exercise is good for your body to grow taller? It is often heard that some children join the school basketball club in order to grow taller. Can they grow taller after playing? Simply put, exercise that can increase appetite, promote sleep, and give certain longitudinal pressure to bones is beneficial to height. There are jogging, skipping rope, dancing, playing basketball and volleyball. But many children in basketball and volleyball players are already very tall. If you let children who don't like these sports engage in these sports just to grow taller, you are wrong. Because emotional stability is also important for growing taller, let children choose their favorite sports. But for high school students who have stopped growing, it is better to engage in strenuous exercise that consumes too much physical strength. The development of bones comes from longitudinal pressure to some extent, but the pressure is too high (weightlifting, etc. ) makes it difficult for bones to grow vertically. Sports that help children grow taller are not conducive to children's favorite sports: volleyball, basketball, ballet, stretching gymnastics, skipping rope and jogging. It is not good to force children to do sports they don't like: weightlifting, excessive exercise and sports that consume too much (marathon, etc.). How can a short teenager grow tall and short? Except for short stature caused by some diseases, doctors must deal with it seriously, and most of them must rely on their own efforts to tap the growth potential of high birth. How to dig? In short, under the guidance of doctors and sports workers, we should adjust our diet and lifestyle and adhere to special physical exercise. Regarding the adjustment of diet and lifestyle, there are the following suggestions for reference: 1. Reasonable adjustment of diet, not partial eclipse, not overeating, not only to ensure adequate nutrition, but also to properly control. Do not smoke or drink; 2. Life should be regular, sleep should be adequate and regular, and it is best to sleep on a hard bed with a pillow less than 5 cm; 3. Pay attention to self-care, prevent diseases before they occur, and treat diseases early. Read books about short stature and growth and development of height. If you don't understand, you can consult a doctor to increase your knowledge and use science to guide your actions. 4. Maintain physical and mental health, enrich entertainment life, be emotionally stable and have no worries, which is conducive to growth and development. In recent years, it has been reported by the author that moderate physical exercise lasting 1-2 hours can obviously increase the content of body wind growth hormone in a certain period of time. With the increase of growth hormone content in blood, the tubular bone growth area will live and fall, thus increasing the height. Should be taken into account, whether it is a small amount of exercise (such as jogging, slow swimming and so on. ) or sports with a large amount of exercise (such as marathon running and long-distance skiing). ) will not increase the height, the former is due to insufficient stimulation, and the latter is extremely weak because of it (such as completing 1000 jumps and excessive weight lifting exercises in one day, and even hindering the growth of long bones). Success depends on the correct combination of different exercises. Some scholars believe that long-term jumping, hanging weights, swimming and other activities can really promote height increase. We believe that all short children and adolescents who can't cope with epiphysis should bravely start special physical training to increase their height if doctors think that they don't suffer from short diseases and have no other medical contraindications. However, it is worth mentioning that the training should be gradual, especially at the beginning, don't overdo it because of impatience, pay attention to your own self-feeling, and consult doctors and physical education teachers if you feel uncomfortable.
