There are many factors that affect a child's height. Some parents hope to use the method of changing water and soil to promote their child's growth, which may have some effect, but the role is not clear. A child's height is influenced by genetics, diet, exercise, and other factors. Especially during the optimal age for physical growth, it is important to provide a well-balanced diet and encourage regular exercise to promote growth.

1. Will changing water and soil help children grow taller?

Changing water and soil, which means changing the place and environment, may help children's height. If the environment is beautiful, clean, and unpolluted, with good water quality and abundant food without drug residues, it can be beneficial to a child's height. Height is influenced by various factors, including genetics, race, and the environment. Among them, genetics plays a particularly important role. Additionally, nutritional status or chronic diseases can also affect growth and development, and consequently, the normal growth of height. If the body lacks nutrition or is in an unhealthy state for a long time, it can affect the growth and development of the whole body, including height.

2. How can children increase their height?

Firstly, parents should not miss the rapid growth period. The peak of height growth for most Han Chinese children occurs around 12 years old for girls and 14 years old for boys. During this period, parents should pay special attention to the child's nutrition and exercise. Secondly, focus on nutritional supplementation. Nutrition is the key to children's physical growth. Energy, proteins, and amino acids required for normal growth must be supplied by food, mainly meat, eggs, beans, and bean products. Calcium, phosphorus, and trace amounts of manganese and iron are also essential for bone formation. Insufficient calcium intake and vitamin D deficiency can lead to insufficient bone mineralization, while vitamin A deficiency can cause bones to become shorter and thicker, and vitamin C deficiency can make bone cells brittle. All these factors can affect bone growth. Thirdly, exercise is important. Sports can enhance the body's metabolism, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormones, and speed up bone growth, which is beneficial for increasing height. It is recommended to choose vertical sports such as pull-ups, rope skipping, and basketball. Lastly, establish a habit of going to bed early and waking up early. Growth hormones are secreted in high levels during deep sleep, particularly between 10-12 pm and around 5 am. Therefore, children should go to bed before 9 pm and wake up after 6:30 or 7:00 am to ensure optimal growth hormone secretion.
