Can running help you grow taller?

Height is very important to us, everyone hopes to grow taller, but genetic factors are particularly important, but there are also acquired factors, especially for friends in puberty, acquired factors are particularly important, and height can be promoted through exercise, diet, rest and mood. Many friends also ask, can running promote growth? Let’s find out together.

As long as running does not cause physical fatigue, it can promote height to a certain extent, but the effect is not obvious.

If you want to grow taller, please pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Keep your emotions stable, pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and get enough sleep.

2. Appropriate sunlight can help the synthesis of vitamin D in the body, which is beneficial to growth.

3. Jumping exercises. Such as high jump, basketball, and volleyball, can produce benign stimulation to the bones and joints of the lower limbs and promote the development of the lower limbs.

4. Stretching exercises. For example, side bending, forward bending, and horizontal bar hanging are helpful in stretching the spine and correcting scoliosis.

Exercise can directly promote the secretion of growth hormone, and it can also promote the secretion of growth hormone on the night of exercise. At the same time, sufficient physical exercise can increase children's appetite, give children healthy sleep, and help them grow taller.

Exercises that are beneficial for height growth include jogging, skipping rope, dancing, basketball, volleyball, swimming and other exercises that create longitudinal pressure, because bone development to a certain extent comes from longitudinal pressure, but excessive pressure, such as weightlifting, will prevent the longitudinal growth of bones, so children should try to avoid it. For growing children, although exercise is a means to promote development, excessive exercise will make children physically and mentally exhausted, affect their appetite, and is not conducive to their health and growth.

Through the above introduction, we now know that running can promote growth, but the effect is not very good. We can use other exercise methods, especially to regulate our mood in normal times. A healthy and cheerful mood is good for height. We should also pay attention to ensuring adequate sleep and a diverse diet.
