If you want to be tall, you must know!

 Hormones that help with growth or increase height are important: 

-Growth hormone, which helps with growth and is very important in increasing height

-Thyroid gland, especially the hormone thyroxine, which stimulates bone development. If there is a lack of this hormone, it may cause a short, dwarfed, and disproportionate figure. 

-Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone also help with growth. Especially during puberty because it stimulates the secretion of growth hormone to increase. It also stimulates bones to lengthen, which is why teenagers grow up quickly.

Height and things you need to know! Normally, women stop growing taller around the age of 17, while men stop growing taller between the ages of 19 and 25.




Causes of short stature 

-Hereditary is the most common cause. 

- Not eating all 5 food groups during pregnancy and when children are growing.

- Lack of regular exercise during childhood or growing up, or exercise in the wrong way.

- Stress conditions in which stress has a direct effect on the secretion of growth hormones. 

-Various illnesses or chronic illnesses 

-The body lacks hormones that help with growth or height, or hormones are not balanced. This is because these hormones help in the body's growth and help control the balance of bone formation.

How to increase height 

1. Exercise to increase height such as:

- Jumping rope for 30 minutes per day, may be divided into 5 minutes at a time and then rest, but must be done for the full length or more than 30 minutes (not including rest time).

- Frequent high jumps, jumping as high off the ground as possible. You may jump in place, but the method of jumping is to divide it into sets of 10 jumps at a time and do more than 5 sets or more.

Or exercise that causes the body to stretch for about 30-60 minutes a day, whether it's basketball, swimming, volleyball, or exercising in the trapeze style, etc., they all play a part in increasing height. This is quite effective because exercise helps stimulate the secretion of growth hormone to increase. 

2.Choosing to eat nutritious foods and should focus on foods rich in vitamins and minerals because many types of vitamins play a role in growth. Which will also help increase your height, but what you can't miss is focusing on eating foods that contain protein and calcium at the same time. In addition, you must eat all 5 food groups and eat 3 complete meals every day.

3.Sleep adequately and on time. You should not sleep late because hormones that help with height, such as growth hormone, are released between midnight and 5:00 a.m. Growth hormone is secreted in large amounts if you sleep soundly. While sleeping and waking up will cause very little growth hormone to be released. 

4.Refrain from drinking soda. Alcoholic drinks and refrain from smoking if possible.

5.Stretch your height with a bone straightener. Another tool that is quite effective, the function of this machine is to increase your height by stretching the bones of the body and joints. Resulting in creating more space, similar to playing sports like basketball and volleyball.

6.Injections to increase height. It is an injection of growth hormone to increase height or GH hormone. We have to be a little careful about this because some parents misunderstand both. The child has a normal height according to all criteria but would like to increase his height again. You must stop thinking because if your child does not lack this type of hormone, And the additional injections will turn out to be more harmful, such as causing high blood sugar. Injecting for a long time can cause children to become sick with diabeteshigh blood pressure, bone disease, colon cancer, etc.

7.Eating growth hormone supplements. Not sure how effective it is but it is not recommended as all hormones may be broken down in the stomach.

8.Colostrum increases height or colostrum from cows that is secreted during the first day after giving birth. It is a product that can help increase height without any side effects. It contains nutrients and minerals necessary for growth and height such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D in appropriate amounts.

9.Heightening surgery is surgery to lengthen the bones in the legs and shins. This can theoretically increase height up to 5 cm. The disadvantage of this method is that there are many risks, such as the bone that is obtained from the connection may not be as strong as before. It took a year to heal. There may be complications from surgery such as bones not joining together, bones becoming distorted or misaligned, risk of paralysis and infection which will be very difficult to treat. If the infection is severe, the leg may need to be amputated. There is a high cost.

10.Techniques for increasing height with immediate results If you're a woman, you'll probably wear high heels most of the time. If you're a man, what do you do? That is... Height increasing heel cushion made from synthetic fibers mixed with foam. They are flexible and can be swapped out for other pairs of shoes and can be removed for washing. which can help increase height from 3.5 - 10 cm. 

11.Methods for increasing height for all ages (You can do it after you're old.) It will increase your height by about 1 cm. You have to do it for 1 minute a day, which is a technique from a Japanese osteopath. There's an easy way to do this, which is to sit on your knees and bend your back until you're lying down. Extend your arms upwards, flat on the floor and hold this position for about 1 minute. This will help bones that have been bent or crooked over time return to their original alignment.
