When do boys grow taller?

Height is a very important evaluation standard for boys. Most boys hope to be tall. To be tall, you need to ensure adequate nutrition and understand the age when boys grow taller. Only by mastering these can you grow taller more effectively. Let's introduce in detail the age when boys grow taller.

The main age groups for boys to grow taller are:

1. Infancy: 0-3 years old

Infancy is the first peak period of height growth. In the first year after birth, the height can reach 25cm, in the second year, it can reach 10-11cm, and in the third year, it can reach 5-8cm. During this period, nutrition and growth hormone play a major regulatory role in height.

2. Childhood: 4 to 10 years old

4 to 10 years old is an important period of growth and development, and it is also the basic stage for growth. Calcium supplementation around 6 years old is very important for future growth. At this time, the human skeleton is in a reserve period, and the daily calcium requirement for bone development is 800 mg.

3. Adolescence: 11~22 years old

Due to the rapid growth of height during adolescence, a reasonable diet to ensure nutritional needs and more calcium-rich and trace element-rich foods can provide sufficient nutrition for height growth;

The key to growing taller:

A. Sufficient nutrients. The most important thing is to eat more foods rich in protein and calcium, such as milk, eggs, bone soup, beans, etc.

B. Make sure you get enough rest and sleep. Make sure you get more than 7 hours of rest a day. In short, boys have the potential to grow taller before the age of 24. For boys to grow taller, they must pay attention to exercise and nutrition.

C. Ensure the right amount of exercise and training. Insist on proper training every day, such as running. If conditions permit, boys can play more basketball, do more jumping and stretching exercises such as pull-ups. This kind of exercise, if you can stick to it, is very helpful for growing taller.
