What should children eat if they don’t grow taller?

As parents, we all want our children to grow up healthily and will try our best to give them the best. However, some parents find that although their children eat a lot and have a good appetite, they just refuse to grow. Among children of the same age, their height is always relatively short, which inevitably makes them anxious. In fact, in addition to genetics, proper diet is also crucial for children. So, what should children eat if they don’t grow taller?

Several foods that children cannot live without for growth

1. Milk

Milk is rich in calcium, a nutrient that builds bones, and is easily absorbed by growing children. Although drinking milk cannot guarantee that you will grow taller, you will definitely not grow taller if your body lacks calcium. So there is no harm in drinking more milk.

Drinking 3 glasses of milk a day can provide the calcium necessary for growth.

2. Eggs

Eggs are the most readily available high-protein food. Many children like to eat eggs, especially egg whites which are rich in protein and are very beneficial to children's growth. Some mothers worry that the cholesterol in egg yolks is bad for their children, but children in their growing years do not need to worry about cholesterol levels. It is more appropriate to eat 1-2 eggs a day.

3. Black soybeans

Soybeans are recognized as high-protein food, among which black soybeans have a higher protein content and are a good food for growth. You can add it when cooking rice, or grind it into soy milk to drink.

Workaround

Generally speaking, exercises such as jumping, reaching high, jogging, skipping rope, cycling, shuttlecock kicking, basketball, volleyball, ballet, stretching gymnastics, swimming and pull-ups can stretch muscles and ligaments, stimulate the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage, and are very beneficial to the growth of the spine and limb bones. for example:

1. After jogging for 5-7 minutes in the morning, do flexibility and relaxation exercises for 20 minutes, including splits, bending forward and backward, shaking the body, etc.

2. Hang on the horizontal bar (20-30 seconds each time). You can do an unloaded hang and then a loaded hang; do a forward hand-grip hang and also an inverted hang (fix your feet with bandages).

3. Jump up and touch high. Jump up with both feet and then jump up with one foot alternately. You should try your best in each practice and strive to jump as high as possible each time.

4. Climb a small slope or stairs 20-30 meters high. Relax when going up and speed up when going down. Repeat 2-4 times.

5. Ask two people to help, one person holds your hands and the other holds your feet, and gently pulls your body in opposite directions at the same time, for 20 seconds each time.

6. Swimming, basketball, and volleyball can be played in turns.

7. Jump. Jump every day, practice on your own, from a little to more, you can do it in the morning and evening, jump more than 200 times a day.
