Growth of the child depends on a set of factors. Among them the healthy sleep, physical exercises and food, vitamin-rich and protein are main. Hormone which is called somatotropin has the main impact on intensity of growth.
Hormone which and is called "growth hormone" is responsible for growth and normal development in a human body. The scientific name of this hormone - somatotropin.
Growth hormone
Somatotropin at children and teenagers stimulates increase in length of tubular bones that eventually affects acceleration of human height. In addition, hormone of growth is capable to stimulate growth of muscle tissues and to slow down the katabolitichesky processes connected with destruction of cells of muscles. Somatotropin strengthens protein synthesis, accelerates combustion of fat, participates in processes of carbohydrate exchange, enhances immunity and increases calcium content in bones.
In comparison with adults, in an organism of the child much more hormone of growth is produced. The maximum concentration of a somatotropin in blood is observed approximately on the fifth month of pre-natal development. At the developing fruit it is 100 times higher, than at the adult. Then with age development of a somatotropin gradually decreases. Can stimulate production of hormone of growth: dream, various physical exercises, amino acids and vitamins.
Vitamins
The main vitamins which are responsible for growth of the child are vitamins D, B, A and S. Vitamin D regulates formation of a skeleton, growth of bones and cartilages. Vitamins of group B participate in metabolic processes, regulate synthesis of proteins and fats. Proteins of which bones, cartilages and teeth consist are formed with the participation of vitamin A. Vitamin C is capable to improve digestion of nutrients, is powerful antioxidant, stimulates production of collagen and improves the immune system of the child. According to some information, only two percent of people grow up so as far as they are allowed by genetics. The others grow by several centimeters well, in comparison with the optimum growth. It is connected with the diseases postponed in the childhood and a diet poor in vitamins.
Amino acids
Amino acids are construction material of which in an organism of the child all proteins, necessary for growth, are formed. In addition, some amino acids are capable to stimulate development of a somatotropin. The glutamine, a lysine, ornitin and arginine belong to such amino acids. Therefore the child needs a diet, protein-rich, from them the organism also receives all necessary amino acids.
Other factors of growth
Positively the healthy sleep and physical exercises influence growth processes. They allow the child not only to completely realize the genetic potential put in him, but also to have excellent health.
