Spring is coming, everything is recovering, and the prairie is here again. Oh no, it's time for the kids to go crazy again.

But some parents, it really broke my heart, I watched a news a few days ago, a 13-year-old boy because of obesity caused early development, he could have grown to 173 He can only maintain a height of 165 for life.

And I would like to tell you that this little boy is not alone, according to the survey, because parents do not pay attention to the height development of their childrenAs a result, more than half of China's babies have not even reached their genetic height!

The immediate result is,Eighty percent of children do not reach their parents' expectations as adults.

Just ask you, do you pierce your heart!

Everyone knows that spring is a good season to grow tall, so they have given the baby "tonic" in this season, but the knowledge of growing up is far more than just supplementing nutrition.

Overnutrition: A true height killer

Many parents feel that it is nothing for their children to be fat, they will lose weight when they grow up, and they can't lack nutrition when they grow up! So he desperately gave the baby to eat.

But the University of Science and Technology wants to tell you ruthlesslyThis is wrong!

What's wrong with obesity getting taller?

Accelerates bone age growth

Just like the boys in the news, obesity leads to early development, so that the little chubby babies overdraft the growth potential of bone age in advance, and may temporarily lead their peers, but when other babies are taller, he will "not be able to grow".

This is what is often said: you say that you will grow tall together, but you secretly don't grow.

Compression of the knee joint

The knee joint is where the femur and tibia and fibula epiphysis are located, and it is an important part of growing taller, and if you are obese, you will be compressed in this position. Such a critical position is oppressed, so how can you grow taller? By imagination?

How do you eat it when you grow tall in spring?

Proper feeding

Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full.

It is important to know that the baby's body is able to adjust the amount of food on its own to meet the needs of growth and activity.

Whether it is a baby who eats breast milk, a baby who adds complementary food, or a big baby who has eaten normally, as long as he is full, don't try to let him eat.

Don't judge him by your hunger standard.

Nutritionally balanced

Parents should avoid misunderstandings, such as desperately giving the baby milk and eating meat to the baby.

In fact, what can help the baby grow up the most is balanced nutrition, rather than a single overdose of nutrients.

I don't know how to balance? The table below must be saved

Again, the same sentence:Don't overdo anything.

Counterattack and turnaround: what else can you rely on besides eating?

In addition to eating, there are many key ways to grow taller, and parents must arrange them!

Get moving

Did you know that exercise can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, and research has proven thatBabies who exercise regularly can be 2-3 cm taller than babies who don't like to exercise.

In sports, skipping rope can be regarded as the king of promoting growthBabies over the age of 6 jump 300-1000 on an empty stomach before dinner every day, and the time is controlled between half an hour and 1 hour, so you can jump around!

Smaller baby:

Up to 1 year old: crawling, raising the head, turning over, etc.

2-3 years old: crawling, brisk walking, slapping ball, etc.

3-6 years old: running, swimming, dancing can be arranged.

Be safe when exercising.

Sleep well

The secretion of growth hormone in a sleeping state is 3 times that of awake body! 3 times ah!

Sleep is important, but you have to "sleep", 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., these two times of growth hormone secretion is most vigorous.

Therefore, Keda suggested that the baby ** should be put to sleep at half past 8 o'clock and develop good habits for him.

At the same time, you should also have enough sleep time, a watch will do it, remember to save it

Seize adolescence

It is important to know that the average age at which girls and boys reach puberty is 105 years old and 11 years oldAround 5 years old.

In the 3 years of puberty, the child's height can grow by 25-28 cm, which is another critical period to determine the height of adulthood!

Therefore, parents should also pay attention to seize this period to let the baby jump!

Of course, the University of Science and Technology also wants to remind everyone, height counterattack? It is too impossible to counterattack, after all, 70% of the baby's height is determined by genetics.

But! Isn't that still 30%? Learn the methods taught to you by the above science and technology universities, catch the 30%, and let the baby grow taller!

Kid short: Don't panic! Look at this!

There are also some parents who are looking forward to the growth of the baby, and let them stand together to compare when they see the baby of the same age, as long as their baby is shorter than the child of the same age, they will fall into entanglement and anxiety: My baby eats well, sleeps well, and has fun well, why is it shorter than other babies? Is there something wrong with it?

But the University of Science and Technology wants to tell you:

The height and body shape of the baby are very different, even if your baby is shorter and thinner than his peers, as long as his growth rate is normal and his metabolism is normal, there is no problem.

So what kind of hospital do you need to go?

It does not conform to the law of growth and development.

HKUST has specially made a table for parents to refer to:

If the baby's growth speed does not meet the standard in the table, or the height increases by 5cm per year after the age of 2, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.

Check for growth hormone deficiency, genetic disorders, or chronic diseases.

And those parents who are very concerned about the height of their baby,You can take your baby to the pediatric department or endocrinology department of the children's specialized hospital for regular examinationsto keep track of your baby's growth.
