The Dhaka Times Desk After a certain age there is no possibility of human height increase. Yet many people rely on rope jumping to increase their height. But what really increases height?
Many people have to listen to various taunts due to their short height. A thousand exercises do not solve the problem. After a certain age there is no possibility of human height increase. Yet many people rely on jumping rope to increase height. But what really increases height?
In girls it usually starts up to the age of 14-15 years and in boys it is up to 16-18 years. Doctors believe that a key regulator of growth during adolescence is growth hormone, which is most active around 9-11 years of age, then the production of this hormone gradually decreases. The body also has growth plates made of cartilage near the ends of the long bones, which play a significant role in height growth. Growth plates do not close in a baby. Therefore, sports that include both running and jumping can play a role in increasing height. However, once puberty is reached, these growth plates then close. Then exercise does not change much in a person's height.
Fitness experts feel that skipping is a very good form of exercise. Exercise is unmatched for good health, especially for the heart. But it is not that your height will increase by doing this exercise. How tall one will be depends entirely on heredity. Even if you exercise a lot, there is no significant change in height.
Why is the habit of jumping rope healthy?
Helps increase muscle strength
A person needs a considerable amount of energy to jump continuously. Which also helps in burning extra calories. Leg and arm muscles become stronger due to continuous jumping and arm exercises.
Great alternative to cardio
Many people practice 'cardio' because of the body of the whole human body. Jumping rope improves this cardio even more. Also, this exercise can be practiced to improve the respiratory system and maintain normal blood and oxygen supply to the body.
To balance
Jumping balances the body. Also, the muscles of the arms and legs are strengthened. Of course, it is not the case that body balance can be maintained by practicing for a day or two. You can get benefits if you start practicing jumping rope gradually and at a faster pace.
to lose weight
The amount of calories that jumping rope can burn is not possible in any other way. If you want to strengthen the muscle structure of arms, legs and shoulders, you can skip other exercises and rely on jumping rope.
Controlling stress
All forms of exercise help reduce stress. However, jumping rope has a very quick effect on hormones. Regular practice of this exercise also increases the secretion of pleasure hormone 'dopamine'. Also, cortisol levels are also regulated. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
