Asians are generally shorter than Europeans, especially women who are much shorter than European women. However, many women wish they could be taller. Being taller not only makes them look better proportioned, but also makes them look more stylish in clothes. I believe everyone has heard that women will grow taller after giving birth, so many pregnant women will consider whether they will grow taller if they choose to give birth naturally. Why do some people grow taller after giving birth? Some mothers around us have grown taller after giving birth, while some have not. In fact, this is mainly related to the epiphyseal line that determines the height of the human body. Our height is mainly determined by the length of the long bones. The final length of the long bones determines the height of the child when he or she grows up. Therefore, as long as the epiphyseal line of the body has not closed, there is still a possibility of growing taller. If the mother's epiphyseal line has not closed yet, she may grow taller after giving birth. Therefore, if the mother has this characteristic, she will grow taller after giving birth. What is the epiphyseal line? The epiphyseal line is actually a layer of cartilage. It is a kind of cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis. This layer of cartilage is used for growth. As long as it is there, it will continue to ossify, allowing our long bones to continue to grow, so our height will continue to increase. However, when the epiphyseal line is completely closed, the bones will stop growing, so our height will be fixed. Some people grow taller after giving birth, mainly because they were still young when they gave birth and their epiphyseal lines were not completely closed. Giving birth stimulates bone growth, so they grow taller. How to avoid premature closure of epiphyseal line? 1. Avoid eating foods high in hormones Foods with high hormone content can easily cause children to suffer from precocious puberty, premature closure of the epiphyseal line, and inhibit children's growth. Foods containing hormones mainly include: ripened vegetables and fruits, royal jelly, poultry necks, etc. When children are growing up, try not to let them eat these things, as they will increase their hormone intake, leading to precocious puberty, premature closure of the epiphyseal line, and affecting their height growth. 2. Calcium supplementation should be moderate, not excessive During the growth process of children, they grow relatively quickly, so they will be given calcium supplements, but there should be a limit to calcium supplementation. Children should not be given too much, otherwise it will cause the epiphyseal line of the child to close prematurely, affecting the child's normal development. Of course, calcium supplementation is necessary. Calcium deficiency in children will also affect their height growth. Therefore, when supplementing calcium for children, you must follow the doctor's advice, otherwise whether the supplement is too much or too little will affect the child's health and height. |
