How to make your baby grow to the ideal height
Human growth and development there are two peaks, one in infancy, and the other is adolescence. Rapid growth in the adolescent stage of creating an environment conducive to the growth conditions, no doubt to promote the growth potential of the play. Which adequate nutrition, sports a reasonable and adequate sleep is to promote the growth of the three major elements.
Adequate nutrition is the daily intake of adequate energy and nutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, vitamins, inorganic salts and water.
Protein
Protein for young people is especially important during adolescence, the quality of daily protein intake should be no less than 18% of total calories -20%, animal protein should account for daily intake of protein 1/3-1/2.
Carbohydrate
Carbohydrate and fat is also the growth and development of essential nutrients. Carbohydrates mainly come from the rice-type food, so every day to ensure adequate appetite, general 13-18 year-olds, the daily staple food should not be less than 500 grams.
Macroelements
In the growth spurt period, daily calcium intake should reach 1000-1200 mg, 400 units of vitamin D daily. Vegetables and fruits can not only provide a large number of inorganic salts and vitamins, it contains fiber also promote body’s protein, fat and carbohydrate absorption, increase peristalsis. Therefore, the amount of vegetables every day young people not to less than 400 grams.
Balanced diet
In ensuring a sufficient number at the same time, but also with a reasonable diet and diversification, that is, with a thickness, with not being choosy food, non-partial eclipse. Not snacking too much affected by the intake of important nutrients.
To strengthen the movement
In ensuring adequate nutrition supply under the premise of sports is to promote physical development and enhancement of the most effective physical method. Movement can contribute to the genetic potential to be maximized.
According to the research confirmed that the movement of children on average than non-movement 2-3 cm high. Exercise can stimulate growth hormone secretion, promote metabolism, enhance appetite. Children and adolescents frequently engage in sports, can promote bone growth, so long bones,increased bone mineral density.
Regular exercise, but also muscle fiber improve muscle strength, speed and endurance. Movement can also consume excess fat, obesity prevention in the fast-growing period. Puberty students only participate in physical education and recess activities is not enough, a day actively engaged in one hours of outdoor sports activities are essential.
Guarantee sleep
The promotion of the human body long high hormone - growth hormone during sleep state secretion awake secretion 3 times, so to ensure that adequate sleep is conducive to long high. Muscle relaxation during sleep and is conducive to stretch joints and bones.
The duration of sleep because of age and different, each individual is also very different, one day sleep time required: 16-20 hours for newborns, 1-3-year-old for 12-14 hours, 4-6-year-old is about 11-12 hour, 7-10-year-old average of 10 hours, 10-14-year-old for nine hours; adults generally 7-8 hours.
Prevent disease
Acute disease
A variety of physiological dysfunction caused by acute or chronic disease of the growth and development of children can have a direct impact. However, the extent of the impact depends on the lesion site occurred, the length of the course and severity of illness.
General acute diseases of the impact of growth is temporary, especially in the physical circumstances in good nutrition, you can soon resume. However, repeated respiratory infections and diarrhea would be a clear obstacle to growth and development of children, it is necessary to actively combat infant diarrhea, recurrent respiratory tract infection.
Congenital
In addition, such as chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine diseases, bone and cartilage development disorder, severe congenital heart disease and chronic renal failure and other diseases, the impact on growth and development are very clear, medically known as pathological short stature.
Some of them through early diagnosis and treatment can be fully or partially restored, such as growth hormone deficiency in children, clinical use of growth hormone therapy is very effective; thyroxine the lack of children, taking thyroid hormone is also very effective, can be significantly improved height, to promote growth.
Therefore, if the child short stature should be treated promptly in order not to delay the best time for treatment.
