When can you exercise to grow taller?

Growing taller is a wish in every child's heart, and it is also what parents hope to happen. After all, having a tall and healthy child will have certain benefits for his future life and employment. Doing more exercise on a regular basis helps the body's development. So, when can you exercise to grow taller? Regarding this question, please see the detailed introduction below.

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. When in deep sleep, the peak periods of growth hormone secretion are around 10-12 pm and 5 am every day. Therefore, children should go to bed before 9 pm and get up after 6:30 or 7:00 am to ensure better secretion of growth hormone. Physical exercises should include vertical exercises such as pull-up bars, rope skipping, and basketball, which can help children grow taller.

If you want your child to grow taller through exercise, it is best to start exercising when your child is twelve or thirteen years old. This is the period when the child is developing. If you exercise at this time, the effect will be better, especially after 10 o'clock in the evening, which is the peak period of growth hormone development. This can ensure the normal secretion of growth hormone in your child's body.

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.

In general, a family's diet of both meat and vegetables should provide comprehensive and sufficient nutrition. 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 would affect their intake of important nutrients.

When can you exercise to grow taller? In fact, you can choose the time to exercise freely, but don’t exercise close to or after meals, as this will cause physical discomfort. You can take out some free time every day to exercise, but you need to pay attention to the time and intensity of the exercise. Don't let your body feel too tired. Just sweat appropriately.
