What to feed your children to make them grow taller

Whether every child can develop normally is a matter of great concern to parents. This is especially true for parents who have short children. Precisely because they themselves are short, these parents are more concerned about their children's height. In fact, as long as these parents give their children more nutritional supplements, their children can grow taller. So what should we feed children to help them grow taller? Let’s talk about it below.

1. Dairy products

A person's height is determined by the growth and development of bones, among which the growth of long bones in the lower limbs is most closely related to height. In other words, only when the epiphyseal cartilage cells in the long bones continue to grow can the human body grow taller. Calcium and phosphorus are the main components of bones, so you should supplement more calcium- and phosphorus-rich foods such as milk, dried shrimps, green leafy vegetables, kelp, and seaweed. Bone growth cannot be separated from calcium. Milk is very high in calcium. A glass of milk in the morning and evening and a cup of yogurt after lunch are the best ways to supplement calcium. They are also well digested and absorbed. Let your children drink 500 ml of milk every day to promote their growth. Milk also has a certain sleep-inducing effect. It is a good idea to let your child drink a glass of pure warm milk before going to bed. For younger children or those who have just been weaned, you can choose children's nutritional formula milk. Because it has been scientifically formulated to be close to the nutritional content of breast milk, it is also easier to absorb. Children of other ages can drink pure milk, yogurt, eat cheese, etc. It should be noted that the sour and sweet milk drink is not milk, its main ingredient is water.

2. Soy products

Beans are the only plant foods that can compare with animal foods in terms of high protein, high fat, and high calories. They have always been loved by health professionals and vegetarians. Moreover, high-quality soy products are more beneficial to the human body than whole beans. Here are some common soy products.

Tofu: The protein content of soft tofu is about 7.2%, and that of hard tofu is 10.4%. Tofu contains more protein and fat, and is known as "plant meat". It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, clearing the lungs and skin, and clearing away heat and detoxifying. Tofu is easily digested and absorbed by the human body, and is a good way for the elderly and infirm to supplement high-quality protein. Tofu is a food that can be used as both food and medicine, and it has many functions such as invigorating qi and replenishing deficiency. Therefore, eating tofu regularly can protect the liver, promote metabolism, increase immunity and have a detoxifying effect.

These foods can provide children with good nutrition and meet their physical development needs. In this way, the child's height can develop more ideally. In addition to feeding your children more nutritious foods, you should also encourage them to do more physical exercise so that they can grow taller. Pay attention to the prevention and treatment of diseases.
