When I was a minor, some people always hoped that when I was an adult, I would tell myself that I would grow taller! It will grow taller!
In the blink of an eye, I changed from fresh meat to old bacon, only to find that I grew up horizontally and not vertically.
So drink milk, eat calcium tablets, sleep more, increase exercise… then at this time, can you grow taller again?
If you want to grow taller, you rely on your lower limbs to give face
The height of a person is actually the combined length of the skull, spine and lower limb bones.
Skull: It is fully developed around the age of 1. However, I believe that no one is willing to make up for his height by the length of his head except his big head son and Lao Wang next door.
Spine: It is very important for height. However, the growth cycle of the spine is long and slow, which cannot be expected.
Lower limbs: Fast development and concentrated growth time are the most important determinants of height changes.
Therefore, if you want to grow taller, you have to rely on one’s lower limbs to give face.
The length of the lower limbs is determined by the [long bones] of the thighs and calves.
Long bones are formed by ossification of cartilage into hard bone. Cartilage is located between epiphysis and diaphysis and is called “epiphysis plate” or “growth plate”.
This thing is the key to growing taller.
Before the long bone matures, the epiphyseal plate continuously grows and ossifies towards the backbone, making the long bone continuously lengthen. After the long bone matures, the epiphyseal plate stops its activity and completely ossifies itself, which is what we often call [epiphyseal closure].
Knock on the blackboard to draw the key point: after the epiphysis is closed, the long bone will no longer grow and people will not be able to grow taller!
Any method to promote height growth may only be effective before the epiphysis is closed. Once the epiphysis is closed, the door to height is closed.
So hurry up and get on the bus and find out if you can grow taller.
How do you know if you can grow taller?
There is no absolute correspondence between whether one can grow taller and whether one is an adult, but only whether one’s epiphysis is closed.
In other words, whether you can grow taller depends on one place: whether the epiphysis is closed!
So the answer is simple:
Sorry, the above picture is too abstract, or look at this picture:
The epiphyseal plate before closure is a translucent zone, but after closure, the translucent zone disappears and merges with the epiphysis nearby.
Therefore, if the X-ray film taken is bright and bright, it will make people envy, envy and hate!
This shows that the lower limbs are very face-saving and there is still the possibility of growing taller.
Many people can still grow tall in adulthood, which is to make full use of the years when the epiphysis is not closed in adulthood.
After this village, there will be no such shop! Those lucky people who have not closed their epiphyses in adulthood can make good use of this stage and do it from the following aspects:
Step 1 Eat well and sleep well
Ensure nutrition and increase the proportion of animal protein and dairy products in diet; To ensure sleep, growth hormone secretion is most vigorous during sleep at night, and lying flat is also conducive to bone growth.
Step 2: Exercise appropriately
Proper exercise can enhance bone metabolism and stimulate epiphyseal plate growth.
Exercising muscles helps to form vascular beds around bones, increases blood supply to bones, and helps to grow taller more fully.
Step 3 Take good care of your spine
Pay attention to the influence of spine on height and maintain correct sitting and standing posture.
Intervertebral disc height and spinal curvature are easy to change under the pressure of bad posture, thus affecting height.
4. Don’t use [growth hormone] indiscriminately
It is suggested that adolescents in development should not easily use growth hormone to increase, which will only disturb the endocrine system and backfire.
As for those friends whose epiphyses have been completely closed, it is recommended not to put too much energy on whether they can grow taller.
It’s too late, no matter how much milk you drink, how many eggs you eat, how much sleep you sleep, how many heightening exercises you do, how many legs you pull, how many hours you hang upside down, the result is:
It is not recommended to use what’s crooked brains, such as:
Don’t believe what’s magic medicine to awaken the secondary growth of epiphysis. Epiphysis is not a sleeping beauty. A deep kiss can’t awaken it, and closure is closure.
Not to mention what [bone fracture and heightening operation], which was originally used to treat patients with unequal length of lower limbs, with higher risks, slower recovery and possible disability.
At that time, the money went into the merchant’s pocket, but it hurt his own body, which was almost painful.
At the end of the day, height is the result of congenital (gene) combined with acquired factors (nutrition, living habits, growth environment, etc.).
Of course, there are also some people whose genetic conditions are good and the acquired factors are matched well. As a result, their height is still not ideal, which may be due to deviation in some places when they grow up.
Then these people had to console themselves and said to themselves:
