Summer babies taller

研究:夏秋出生寶寶更壯

Expectant mothers in summer have taller and stronger-boned babies because they benefit from sun's vitamin-boosting rays, a new British study has found. Those born in late summer and early autumn are around half a centimeter taller and have wider bones than their peers born in winter and spring, an 18-year project found. Expectant mothers lucky enough to be blooming in the warmer months should get enough sun to boost their vitamin D levels just by walking around outside or even sunbathing.

一項最新英國研究調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，孕婦如在夏季產(chǎn)子，嬰兒會長得更高、更壯，這得益于陽光的維生素補充作用。這項研究歷經(jīng)18年，表明出生在夏末秋初的嬰兒要比出生在春冬季的嬰兒平均高半厘米，骨骼也更寬。孕婦要是趕上在暖和的月份里生產(chǎn)可幸運了，因為她們只要多出去散步，曬日光浴，就能獲得足夠的陽光照射，體內(nèi)維生素D的含量也會隨之增長。
