Will jumping rope every day really make you taller?

Nowadays, most people lose weight through diet and exercise, but it is difficult to grow taller when you are past the age when you should be growing taller. Nowadays, there are always many ways to increase height, but many of them often fail to produce long-term results, which makes people very disappointed. One of my friends said that jumping rope every day may help you grow taller. I have only heard that jumping rope can help you lose weight, but I don’t know about this. So, will jumping rope every day really make you taller?

According to research, innate factors play a decisive role in human height, but acquired factors cannot be ignored during our growth period.

As a kind of sport, let us learn about skipping rope. Rope skipping is an aerobic exercise as well as a whole-body exercise, in addition to having the benefits that all exercises have.

In terms of our height growth, it can help us consume a lot of calories and fat, accelerate the absorption of nutrients, and prompt the pituitary gland to accelerate the secretion of growth hormone. It increases our body's demand for nutrients and prompts us to consume more nutrients.

During the rope skipping exercise, our bodies are constantly jumping, which will also help us grow taller to a certain extent. Therefore, skipping rope can promote our height growth.

However, there are many things we need to pay attention to in rope skipping, among which, the exercise time each time should not be too long. The key is to strike a balance. Excessive exercise is not only not conducive to our height growth, but will bring unnecessary burden to our body. Even cause damage to the body. I hope we can find happiness in exercise and promote our body growth in happiness.

What should parents pay attention to when their children grow taller?

1. Don’t miss the rapid growth period

When do children and adolescents grow fastest during puberty? Studies have confirmed that the peak height growth for the vast majority of Han Chinese children is around 12 years old for girls and around 14 years old for boys; more than 90% of girls have the fastest height growth between the ages of 11 and 13, and for boys between the ages of 13 and 15. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay special attention to issues such as nutrition and exercise during their rapid growth period.

2. Pay attention to nutritional supplements

Nutrition is key to children's physical growth. The energy, protein and amino acids required for normal physical growth must be supplied by food, mainly meat, eggs, beans and legumes. Bone formation also requires adequate amounts of calcium, phosphorus and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Insufficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency will cause insufficient bone mineralization. Vitamin A deficiency will cause bones to become shorter and thicker. Vitamin C deficiency will cause defects in the bone cell matrix and make it brittle, all of which will affect bone growth.

At present, the average family's diet includes both meat and vegetables, and the nutrition should be comprehensive and sufficient. Parents should be careful not to let their children develop a habit of picky eating, and should not let their children eat too many snacks which will affect the intake of important nutrients.

3. Don’t neglect exercise

Many people believe that jumping exercises such as skipping rope and playing basketball can help grow taller, and this is indeed the case from a medical point of view.

According to research, excessive compression of the growth plate can cause growth retardation, but moderate and intermittent compression or stretching of the growth plate can stimulate its growth. Therefore, children and teenagers who want to grow taller must do exercise, especially some bouncing exercises. However, excessive weight training such as gymnastics and weightlifting will hinder growth, and it is recommended to avoid it during the growth stage.

Physical exercise can enhance the body's metabolic process, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate bone tissue growth, and benefit the body's height growth.

4. Don’t forget to create a good living environment for your children

Abnormalities of the mental and nervous system can also affect children's physical growth. If parents are divorced, the relationship between children and guardians is abnormal, children are often abused, or children are exposed to other serious stimulation, their growth rate will gradually slow down, making their height below the lower limit of normal height for children of the same age and gender. Short stature will aggravate the child's inferiority complex. This is because the psychological and social stimulation the child receives affects the transmission of nerve impulses from the cerebral cortex to the hypothalamus, thereby inhibiting the pituitary gland from secreting growth hormone. When the child's environment is treated well, the growth rate can return to normal.

5. Don’t forget to actively prevent and treat chronic diseases

Chronic diseases in children and adolescents should be treated actively. Long-term diseases such as chronic infection, chronic hepatitis, chronic nephritis, asthma, heart disease, anemia, etc. can affect growth and development. Genetic diseases of the skeleton, such as osteochondrodysplasia, can also limit bone growth.

As for the question of whether jumping rope every day will really make you taller, everyone has also learned in detail from the above article. It is helpful to a certain extent, but for most people, their height is a result of their innate factors. If the results are not great, you still have to live happily, so that you can have a healthy body and a happy life.
