　　1. Can traditional Chinese massage really help you grow taller?

　　Some TCM doctors said that using TCM massage can help babies grow taller. Is this reliable? What is the principle of massage to promote growth? The director of a pediatric massage department explained that in traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney governs the bones. Children's growth first requires healthy bone development, and the healthy development of bones depends on whether kidney qi is strong; the essence of bones is in the bone marrow, and the brain is the marrow sea, which is the sea where bone marrow gathers. Nourishing the kidneys can nourish the bones, nourish the marrow, and ultimately nourish the brain. In other words, the kidney governs intelligence, and whether a child is smart or not depends on whether his kidney qi is strong, and massage to nourish the kidney can also help.

　　3. Other factors affecting baby’s height

　　1. Pay attention to sleep time

　　When the baby sleeps, the pituitary gland secretes growth hormone, which promotes physical development. If the baby sleeps irregularly, it will cause chaos in the biological clock, interfere with and inhibit the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland, and delay or even hinder the baby's physical development. Therefore, children who do not sleep well grow slowly and are not easy to grow taller. Therefore, it is best for your baby to fall asleep before 21:30 to reach a deep sleep state as soon as possible.

　　2. Three elements of diet to grow taller quickly

　　Protein: Calcium is the basis for bone growth. If bones don't get enough nutrition, they won't be able to grow normally, let alone grow taller.

　　Calcium: Babies in the growth and development period have a much higher demand for protein. Insufficient supply will affect their growth.

　　Vitamins: Vitamins are one of the essential nutrients for the human body, and vitamin D helps absorb calcium and promotes height growth.

　　3. Strengthen outdoor sports

　　Moderate outdoor exercise will enhance metabolic and immune functions, promote blood circulation, increase the secretion of growth hormone, improve bone tissue metabolism, and increase nutrients needed for bone growth, which plays an important role in increasing body height. When the baby gets older, parents can take the baby outdoors to stretch their muscles.
