In modern life, height is not only a sign of physical beauty, but also affects future employment and marriage. So parents who don't want their children to grow taller and smarter? However, the process of human growth and development, how to grow taller, many people do not know. In fact, if you want your child to grow taller, you must tell the height and mystery of the Taoist priest.

Height represents the sum of the length of the head, spine and lower limbs. There are two fastest growing periods in a person's life, namely infancy and adolescence. From infancy to 1 year, the height increased by 25 cm, about 50% of that at birth (50 cm), and the total length reached 75 cm at 1 year, which is the fastest growing period in a person's life. Adolescent growth suddenly accelerates, and the annual growth rate of height is generally 3~5%. Generally, the annual increment is 5~7 cm, and in some cases it can reach 10~ 12 cm. A few years later, the growth rate slowed down again until women were 20 years old and men were 22 years old, and their height basically stopped growing.

So, how does the human body grow taller? It turns out that the height of a person mainly depends on the length of long bones (such as femur and tibia of lower limbs). The growth of long bones includes longitudinal growth (linear growth) and bone maturation: at birth, the main long bones, such as humerus, femur and tibia, are all cartilage except the distal femur. Later, ossification centers appeared in epiphyses of different ages, and the number of ossification centers gradually increased, and bone tissue replaced cartilage tissue. However, there is still a section of cartilage between the diaphysis and epiphysis, which is medically called epiphyseal plate cartilage. During the growth and development period, this section of chondrocytes continuously divide and reproduce vertically to generate new cartilage. At the same time, the process of bone formation continues near the diaphysis. Long bones grow little by little, and people grow taller gradually, just like sesame blossoms. But by the age of 20~22, the epiphyseal cartilage gradually disappeared, the epiphysis closed, the longitudinal growth of bones stopped, and people didn't grow tall.

It can be seen that the growth of epiphyseal cartilage is the basis of human growth, and the growth of epiphyseal cartilage is completed under the synergistic effect of growth hormone, thyroid hormone and other hormones in human body. Among them, the main power source to promote the division and proliferation of chondrocytes is growth hormone, which is secreted by human pituitary gland, promotes the growth of cartilage, widens the epiphyseal plate and plays a leading role in the growth of human height.

How to make the body grow taller?

Talking about height actually includes two meanings. One is physiological height or natural height, which can be measured objectively. Second, the psychological height or social height is actually the intangible recognition of a certain height by oneself and society.

The standard of height beauty in today's society is that girls are "slim", which at least includes slender legs and young men are "stalwart and handsome". This standard cannot be dispelled and changed by administrative and political forces.

If it is only aesthetic, unfortunately, height permeates all fields of society and plays a powerful role. Young women regard young men under 170 cm as "semi-disabled", and recruiters in enterprises and institutions also have height requirements, but they are also to blame. Therefore, many young men and women are very upset because their height is rejected.

Needless to say, boys and girls, even young parents, want to have a tall figure in their future life. So, how can we realize this beautiful wish? Can I increase my height? The answer is encouraging. People's figure can be changed.

Teenagers and parents can take the following measures:

1, food and nutrition. There are seven elements in nutrition: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, water, cellulose and minerals, all of which are indispensable.

2. Exercise is an important condition for human development. Exercise is not equal to labor, the repetition of which is not good for height. Increasing exercise should be a completely coordinated exercise to develop the body.

3. Drugs. If there is a drug that can make the body grow taller, it may be the most popular of all methods. In the gene age, scientists can achieve better growth and height effects than all kinds of medical and nutritional health products in the past by combining the principles of human gene development engineering, modern biotechnology and traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy methods.

4. Other factors. Lifestyle, kneeling posture, sleeping posture and even the height of furniture are all related to height. Thick and hard bedding affects blood circulation. Combining work and rest, healing, and good psychological quality are not without benefits.

It is observed that human growth and development can last until the age of 25, and women still have a vigorous growth process after menarche.

Food that can increase height

If you are under 25 years old now, you will grow taller if you follow the following diet.

If you want to gain weight, you should eat more protein, especially foods containing amino acids, such as flour, wheat germ, beans, shrimp, crab, shellfish, seaweed, beef, chicken, liver, pork legs, eggs, milk, cheese and dark vegetables.

On the contrary, white rice, glutinous rice, desserts and other foods should be avoided as much as possible. It is better to eat less cola and fruit juice, because it contains more sugar, which will hinder the absorption of calcium, and eating too much will affect the development of bones. In addition, salt is also the enemy of increase, so we must form the habit of eating less salt.

Here are some ideal foods to promote growth and keep healthy and fit:

1, 100% protein: protein can make the body burn excess fat quickly, lose weight and enhance the body's resistance to diseases and fatigue. It is the unanimous opinion of experts that protein is very beneficial to health.

2. Meat, fish and eggs are rich in animal protein.

3. Eggs: Among all kinds of animal proteins, eggs are the most important food. Eggs also have a variety of amino acids that make cells, so eating eggs with meals can definitely play an excellent role.

4, breakfast can not be omitted: many girls who are afraid of obesity ignore breakfast. In fact, in the eyes of westerners, breakfast is the main meal of the day. No matter how rich it is, breakfast must be eaten.

5, eat less snacks: candy, chocolate, peanuts and other snacks. Most of them contain high heat, which is really dangerous. People who don't eat snacks might as well learn to bite carrots. Celery or low-calorie food.

6. More calories and less calories: Everyone has an appetite and varies in size. If you want to satisfy your appetite and lose weight, you should choose this food. Fruit watermelons have almost no calories even when they are full; So is vegetable soup.

7. Vitamin supply: As mentioned above, vitamins are the source of life. For beauty and nutrition, we should supply enough vitamins every day.

8. Drink less: Because alcohol is high in calories, it replaces the burning effect of fat and naturally gains weight.

9, do more exercise: let the excess energy be consumed as much as possible, stored in the body, will be converted into fat.

10, eat more lettuce: such as carrots. Low-calorie foods such as celery, lettuce is not cooked, and the nutrients are not destroyed. Many models have the habit of reaching for lettuce at any time.

It is not easy to keep a beautiful figure.

In addition to maintaining the above dietary principles, people with beautiful bodies also have several principles in eating.

(1) Chew slowly: Chewing slowly and enjoying the taste can reduce the feeling of fasting. Observing a slim person, the time to eat is always twice as long as that of a glutton.

(2) Drink plenty of water: water contains no calories and will never get fat. When you want to drink tea or drink, you might as well switch to water, which can wash away impurities in your body and make your skin more beautiful.

(3) Eat raw: greasy sauce is the cause of getting fat, so avoid it and try to eat a natural taste.

(d) Artificial sweeteners instead of sugar: sugar is the highest energy source and will eventually become heat. Other fats or starches are stored in the body. If there must be sweetness in food, there is no harm in replacing high-calorie sugar with artificial sweetness and gaining weight. For example, an ordinary cream cake usually has 200 calories, but if artificial sweeteners are used, it only has 70 calories.

(5) Salad: Salad plays a great role in beauty. However, it goes without saying that the calories of salad are better replaced by white sauce or lemon juice with less calories.

Other foods such as chocolate and coffee. Butter. Sweet potato. Fried chicken will make your efforts to keep your charming figure fail. Don't be careless Generally speaking, to maintain a charming figure, you need to consume 2300 calories a day. Of course, this number will also increase or decrease slightly according to everyone's physique.

In order to prevent weight gain, we should develop the habit of measuring weight at ordinary times.

Whether it can be increased is a difficult question to answer. Here are some forecasting methods.

The first one: son height = (father height+mother height) × 1.08÷2

The second one:

■ Prediction method of foot length and height

03 ×7-year-old adult height = 65438+ foot length.

It is easier and more convenient to predict the future height of children with this method, and the error is less than 3 cm.

■ parental height prediction method

According to this principle, a European scientist created a formula for predicting height according to the relationship between the height of parents and the height of children:

How tall is the son? Cm =？ Father's height+mother's height × 1.08÷2

Daughter's height? Cm =？ Father's height ×0.923+ mother's height ÷2

This formula basically conforms to the genetic laws of "length is higher than height", "height with short" and "height with short". This formula is calculated according to the principle of genetics and the growth rate of European height.

In order to make this prediction formula more suitable for China's national conditions, China scientists "make foreign things serve China". According to the relationship between the height of Han children and their parents in Central China, the coefficient in the formula is changed to1.11.12 for men and 0.948 ~ 0.980 for women. Therefore,

Short children can grow longer.

For immature children, the body is still growing and developing, but the growth and development are very slow, giving people the illusion that they are no longer growing. However, there must be some reasons that hinder the growth and development of short and almost no longer growing children, such as insufficient secretion of growth hormone and thyroid diseases. As long as these diseases are cured, short children can continue to grow taller.

For short people who have grown up, as long as they are not too old, there are still ways to grow taller.

According to the law of bone growth and development, short people over 18 years old still have hope to grow taller before men are 25 years old and women are 2 1 year old.

As long as you take treatment such as taking growth hormone and stretching your bones, you can make your body grow taller. It is best to take growth hormone under the guidance of a doctor, and the skeleton stretching of the body should also be carried out under the guidance of a doctor or physical education teacher who knows the law of human growth and development to achieve the best effect. In this way, most short young people can grow 2 ~ 5 cm tall, and some even reach as high as 7 cm.

In short, you still have great growth potential ~ ~ it's not too late to start working hard now. I hope it helps you.
