According dr.Samuel Oetoro, below the standard height (stunted) can be avoided. "Actually, the heights of the boys at least as high as his father's and daughter's height at least as high as her mother. So it can be maximized more than that," he said.
Child's height is one of them is influenced by genetic factors, but still there are other factors that have a major role, ie, habits and environmental factors. Habit factors, including diet, level of activity and rest of children.
"Give your child foods that contain balanced nutrition because there is no one food that can meet all nutritional needs. To grow tall kids not need protein, but also note the carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins," he said.
To support the growth of bone, ask the child to physical activity. "To let her toddler play, run and jump, do not just play games or sit passively in front of the tv," says nutritionist.
In children who begin to teenagers, encourage them to exercise regularly. "Sports that are resistance, such as basketball or swimming is very good for bone growth," he added.
Still, sports should not be excessive. "A maximum of 15 hours per week. Too tired is also not good because the body becomes acidic so disturbed cell metabolism. Children can be difficult to grow high," he said.
That's why, the rest of factors should not be ignored. "Children should sleep 7-9 hours every day," he added. During sleep the body will produce growth hormone and cell regeneration.
Finally, environmental factors. Let the child grow in a healthy environment, away from pollution, including pollution of cigarettes.
When entering the pre-adolescent age (10-12 years) of your child's height still looks shorter than his peers, consult a child to the doctor endocrinologist.
"It will be checked whether the child's height can still be driven by way of checking whether the bones have closed or not. If not too late, the child's height can be stimulated by growth hormone," he concluded.
