"Factors affecting the child's height."

To properly increase your child's height, parents need to know what factors influence their height in order to develop the growth of their child properly. Primarily, the factors that affect children's height are divided into two main groups: controllable factors and uncontrollable factors. Alright, let see the details together.

Uncontrollable factors

Let's start with the uncontrollable factors. The most important is genetics. In fact, it can affect height 60-70%. If the parents are tall, the children also have a chance of tall. While if the parents are small, the children could have the opportunity to be small, followed by gender and race, respectively. Statistical and research findings revealed that men are taller than women. European people are taller than Asian people. But don't give up! You also have other items that you can control and change to defeat genetics. Whether it is nutrition, exercise or dietary supplements.

Controllable factors

Let's continue at the controllable factor. When asked what is most important, the answer is food and nutrition. The good news is that we now have a bunch of knowledge that can improve the height along with the appropriate strength for each age.  

          

Food and basic nutrition are what we have learned since childhood. But we may have forgotten or that it was not serious. We should eat food that contains all 5 food groups that will help children develop the proper physical and intellectual. In particular, Bone-building nutrients are important for a child's height. For example, protein, calcium, vitamin D, and minerals. It's not too late for all parents to realize this matter. Eventually, it will help your child grow taller and overcome heredity.

Besides proper nutrition, another controllable factor is sleep. Getting enough rest is one of the factors affecting height. As you can see, many people are now more aware of this matter, and so are doctors. Sleep positively affects people's quality of life and potential in many ways.

Research has shown that deep sleep is linked to Growth Hormone. Which has fully secreted hormones after sleeping about 1 hour and it always stops secreting during 4 a.m.-5 a.m. (the time that the secretion is the most is 9 p.m. - 3.00 a.m.) Therefore, growing children should go to bed before 10 p.m. and sleep at least 8-10 hours per night. They must have a stress-free mental state because stress can negatively affect the secretion of Growth Hormone.

            Finally, the last controllable factor is exercise. There are two important exercises to increase your height

1. Resistance exercise: These impacts or resistance will stimulate the Epiphyseal Plate or Growth Plate around the cartilage of various joints to repair and reconstruct the bones as well as stimulating the absorption of nutrients into

stronger and denser bones.

2. Stretching exercise: Especially, stretching the core of the body. For example, monkey bar or yoga will help strengthen the tendons and muscles and support your bone growth as well as stimulating the stretching of the bones in another way Regardless of the exercise type, it also contributes to the stimulation of Growth Hormone secretion.
