Can squatting exercises really help you grow taller?

Every parent wants to grow taller, especially when the child is growing up. Parents also want to use various methods to promote their child's growth. Although height is directly related to genetics, various acquired methods are also very important. This requires our attention when the child is growing. There are many ways to promote physical growth, among which exercise is an important method. Can squatting exercises help you grow taller? Let’s take a look at it below.

Squats are squats. Squatting and jumping follow the same principle, both of which put pressure on the bones to make people taller. If you are around 15 to 17 years old, it is more appropriate to do weighted squats. If you are under 15 years old, just do it without weights. If you want to grow taller, you can jump rope for 10 minutes every day, which is quite convenient. In order to make children grow taller, parents should pay attention to the following points:

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; for more than 90% of girls, the fastest growth in height occurs 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.

Second, we should 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

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. The following exercises are effective in increasing height, so you might want to give them a try.

Through the above introduction, we know that squatting exercises can help grow taller. When children are growing up, we must pay attention to letting them live a regular life and have a balanced diet. In particular, we must ensure that children get enough sleep. In addition, children must also maintain a cheerful mood, which is also good for their growth. In addition, children's nutrition is also particularly important.
