[Bring health home] Can a child grow taller when you touch your high jump?

Children's height is the most concerned about all parents. Parents can help their children grow taller by increasing outdoor sports. Among them, touching high jump is the most familiar way for everyone, and it is also one of the sports that parents have always encouraged their children to persist.

1. Can touching high jump really grow taller?

Touching high jump has some help to increase. First, touching high jump stimulates the secretion of growth hormone in the anterior pituitary of the body. Growth hormones are important factor for children's growth and development. Second, it is conducive to improving the proliferation capacity of cartilage. Third, the stretching movement can also correct the length of the joint cavity and increase the height.

2. How old can children be touched? What do you need to pay attention to?

It is recommended that children (6-12 years old) are recommended to perform appropriate stretching campaigns like touched high jumps. Touching high jump is a very boring sport. Many children do not like it and can perform other stretching movements. However, parents should pay attention that the more exercise, the better, and the exercise should be arranged reasonably. If there is too much exercise, there may be joint system diseases such as synovitis, which will affect growth and development. On the other hand, not all movements help growth and development, such as weightlifting, load -bearing exercise, or excessive exercise (marathon, etc.) that is not conducive to growth.

3. What should parents pay attention to if they want their children to grow taller? What misunderstandings need to avoid?

Height is mainly affected by genetic factors. In addition, as parents, the height of the child can be increased from the following aspects:

1. Balanced nutrition. There are three growth and development periods in a person's life: 1 year old, early school (4-6 years old), adolescence (13-18 years). These three periods are the rapids of human development. Therefore, whether the nutritional situation of these periods will be good, it will likely affect our ultimate height. Properly add protein and calcium foods such as beans, eggs, and milk.

2. Successful sleep: growth hormone is an important factor in children's growth and development. The two peaks secreted by growth hormones are from 9 pm to 1 am and 6 am to 7 am. Therefore, it is recommended that children enter the sleep state before 9 pm. It is generally recommended to sleep for 10 hours, 9 hours of junior high school students, and 8 hours of high school students.

3. Emotion. Nowadays, children's learning pressure is relatively high, and they are in a state of mental tension for a long time. This bad emotion will inhibit the secretion of hormone growth in the body, and this time will also affect our height growth. The reduction of primary and secondary school students in the country now will help increase national height.

4. Reasonable exercise, do not excessive.

5. Don't abuse nutrition. Some nutritional products can lead to precociousness and shorten children's growth cycles. Do not give a large amount of calcium preparations or vitamin D preparations, but should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
