Can a girl still grow taller at 18?

Many parents are worried about whether their children will grow taller in the future. If their children are still not significantly taller when they reach the age of 18, the worry will be more obvious at this time, and they will keep supplementing them with a lot of nutritional supplements. In fact, this approach is not completely correct. So can girls still grow taller at the age of 18?

Process/Method:

1. Eighteen years old is a critical period for a person's growth. If the growth of this age group cannot be well controlled, then it is very likely that the golden period of growth will be missed, and the future height may be determined. Therefore, people who have not grown taller at the age of eighteen should pay special attention to this issue.

2. At the age of 18, if you can continue to grow through effective and rational methods, first of all, physical growth must be supplemented with nutrients. Therefore, the daily diet should focus on being effective and comprehensive. Don't be partial or picky about food, which is a very bad situation for overall growth.

3. For protein intake, it is best to choose high-quality high-protein foods, such as meat, beans or eggs, drink more milk on a regular basis, and do more jumping exercises, such as vertical jumping and jumping jacks, which can effectively help the body improve.

How can a baby grow taller

Maintain a balanced diet

Children, like adults, should consume six major types of food every day. Parents can refer to the daily dietary guidelines to understand the dietary requirements of children of different age groups. Children in puberty grow faster and exercise more. In order to provide the energy and nutrients needed for adult growth and development, their calorie requirements are relatively high. Boys need to consume 2150-2650 calories a day, while girls need 2100-2200 calories.

Mom and Dad teach us by example not to be picky eaters

Many scientific studies have pointed out that children’s diet since childhood is greatly influenced by their parents. Senior nutritionist Weng Huiling believes that if you want your children to look good, not being picky about food is the most basic standard. When parents prepare meals for their children, try to vary the dishes as much as possible so that the children can try a variety of ingredients from an early age. As long as the types of food you eat are rich and varied, you don't have to worry about lack of nutrients needed for growth and development.

No negative comments on food ingredients in front of children

For example, "Eggplant is so bitter, how dare you eat it?" A casual remark from an adult will create a special impression on a child about a certain food, which will then become an excuse for the child to refuse to eat it. Of course, don't use food as a tool to reward or punish children.

Educate children on balanced diet

Most of the three meals a day in modern dual-income families are prepared by fast food, and many parents give their children money to let them buy lunch on their own. Senior nutritionist Weng Huiling advises parents to pay more attention to their children's consumption of fast food and to instill in their children some healthy eating awareness, such as: eating less fried and deep-fried foods, choosing a balanced menu, making more changes, and consuming the six major types of food. "Parents cannot grasp their children's eating habits, which can easily lead to poor health for their children in the long run," she stressed.

Prevent children from gaining weight or going on a hunger strike to lose weight

Pediatrician Li Junxian emphasized that obese children consume too much calories, fat and sugar, which causes their bone age to progress faster than their actual age. Although they are taller than other children at first, they may not be taller in the future because their growth spurt is advanced and shortened.

It is not difficult to prevent children from gaining weight. As long as they limit the frequency of eating high-calorie foods such as hamburgers and chips, drink less sugary drinks, and exercise regularly, there will be no problem of obesity.
