Average height of Japanese men

The height standards for men and women in Japan are 1.708 meters and 1.583 meters respectively. Japan's height standard is one centimeter less than that of our country, but the growth rate of Japanese children is faster than that of our country. And the growth of Japanese people is called "a miracle of human physical quality development trend" by Western experts and scholars.

The reasons why Japanese people seem fast:

1. Japanese children drink a cup of milk every day. After World War II, Japan launched a campaign called "a cup of milk makes a Chinese strong". Japan provides milk for students in school meals.

2. Rich in nutrition, students eat more than 30 kinds of food every day. In 1954, Japan implemented the School Meals Law, which established the overall goal of providing nutritious lunches to improve the health of students, and also required that school meals be part of basic education.

3. There is fish for every breakfast. Japanese families cannot live without fish on their tables for a day. Authoritative experts have confirmed that DHA in fish is good for the brain and helps to grow taller.

4. Children should go to bed before 10 o'clock and should not be breastfed at night. When children sleep well, their growth hormone metabolism is sufficient and reaches its peak within 1 to 4 hours after falling asleep. Continuous breastfeeding at night will disturb the child's sleep, so it is necessary to stop breastfeeding at night from April to August at the latest.

Height is related to physical exercise. According to statistics, one year of physical exercise can make boys 1-2 cm taller than their peers who do not exercise, and girls 2-3 cm taller. Primary and secondary school students who exercise regularly are about 5 cm taller than those who do not exercise. Physical exercise can promote height growth. First, it can promote the metabolism of children's growth hormone. Second, it increases the blood supply to bone cells, which is beneficial to improving the reproductive capacity of epiphyseal cartilage. Third, it has a good stimulating effect on the reproduction of epiphyseal cartilage. According to scientific research, children's growth hormone metabolism continues to increase after fitness exercises. In addition, fitness exercises will continue to train muscles and bones, making them stronger.

Therefore, academic research in various countries has unanimously concluded that exercise helps to grow taller. Authoritative experts suggest that the following exercises are particularly helpful for children to grow taller. A. Vertical jumping and high jumping training; B. Climbing poles or rope ladder training; C. Upper body forward pull; D. Cross flexion and extension; E. Jumping, rubber band skipping, and shuttlecock kicking; F. Single-pole hanging; G. Swimming. This kind of training will increase the flexibility of joints and cruciate ligaments, which is beneficial to height growth and development. Weight training such as snatch, dumbbells, lead balls, and iron cakes are not suitable as regular training subjects for teenagers under the age of 18. Even if you have passed puberty, you are not suitable to carry out such exercises to avoid affecting the growth and development of height.
