When does the baby's growth hormone be secreted? When does the baby's growth hormone be secreted?

The secretion of growth hormone affects the baby's development and height. Parents hope that the baby can have a good height. If you want your baby to grow tall, you must ensure that the baby's growth hormone is secreted normally. Let's share with you the secrets of growth hormone.

Baby growth hormone secretion time

1. The growth hormone level in the blood of infants under one year old is very high 24 hours a day, and there is no obvious difference when they are sleeping and awake.

2. The growth hormone of children aged 1-7 is only secreted during sleep at night, and is basically not secreted during daytime wakefulness. The basic content is 91 micrograms/day. The two periods of maximum growth hormone secretion are 21:00-1:00 at night and 5:00-7:00 in the morning. Therefore, children should go to bed as early as possible every day and ensure 10-12 hours of sleep every day.

3 Key Points About Growth Hormone

Key point 1: The imbalance of growth hormone secretion in a day. The secretion of human growth hormone is unbalanced within 24 hours a day, and its secretion is higher during sleep than when awake. 80% of growth hormone is secreted during sleep, especially for children in a period of rapid growth. This stage is the peak of growth hormone secretion, and the secretion of growth hormone is particularly high at night. Therefore, there is a saying that "people grow while sleeping".

Key point 2: Imbalance in the secretion of growth hormone at night. Growth hormone is secreted more in the first half of the night, which is the "golden period of sleep", while in the second half of the night, the secretion is relatively less.

Key point 3: Growth hormone secretion is affected by sleep quality. Growth hormone is secreted most during deep sleep at the beginning of sleep, and the concentration of growth hormone in the blood reaches its peak. If sleep is disturbed and the sleep quality is not high, the secretion of growth hormone will decrease, and height growth may also be affected.

Children should pay attention to cultivating healthy habits

How to grow taller in daily life

Zhong Yan emphasized that growth hormone injections are only used for a small number of people after all. If children want to grow taller, it is best to cultivate healthy living habits, actively exercise, and improve themselves.

Balanced diet: Do not be picky or partial to certain foods, supplement with high-quality proteins such as milk and eggs, eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and trace elements, get more sun exposure, eat more foods rich in vitamin D, etc., which will help you grow taller. Eat less sweets, drinks, ice cream and other snacks, which will not only make you fat and prone to metabolic diseases, but also affect your growth and development.

Persistent and appropriate exercise: Regular participation in sports can promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, increase blood supply to bone tissue, and help grow taller. Different ages choose different exercise methods. Children aged two or three mainly walk, run, and jump, while older children mainly skip ropes, play basketball, swim, and other stretching exercises. Persistence is the key to exercise, which can promote height growth. Excessive fatigue in a short period of time may be counterproductive and cause damage to the body.

Good sleep: Growth hormone is secreted most vigorously during sleep. Good sleep can give the body and brain a full rest. In addition, the muscles can be fully relaxed during sleep, which is conducive to the stretching of joints and bones, which is beneficial to the height growth of children.

Happy mood: Children's psychological frustration and emotional depression may lead to secretion disorders of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor and affect their height. Emotions may also affect appetite, sleep, etc., and may also affect growth. Therefore, maintaining a happy mood can help grow taller.

Healthy physique: Weak constitution and frequent illness will affect the growth of height. Strengthening exercise, paying attention to daily care and preventing diseases will help you grow taller.
