What should children eat to grow taller?

The living standards are very good now, and every family hopes that their children can grow up healthily, especially in height.

Animal foods such as eggs, meat, fish, and milk contain a relatively complete range of essential amino acids for the human body and have high nutritional value. Beans, peanuts, and vegetables can be combined with animal foods to further increase the nutritional value of protein and complement each other's strengths. Calcium and phosphorus are the main components of bones. Milk, beans, dried shrimps, bone soup, etc. are rich in calcium; milk, meat, beans, and grains are rich in phosphorus. Trace elements are necessary for human physiological functions, such as iron, zinc, copper, iodine and selenium. These foods include: animal liver, meat, fish, clams, mussels, oysters, kelp, seaweed, grains and beans. Food should be consumed in a moderate and balanced manner to avoid picky eating.

Sleep time should be guaranteed to be 8-10 hours. Growth hormone is secreted 45 to 90 minutes after falling asleep at night (deep sleep), so adequate sleep helps to increase height and promote rapid growth during puberty.

3. Rizhao

Sunlight helps children grow and develop. Therefore, children should be given more outdoor activity time to promote their growth and development. May to June is the "golden period" for children to grow taller. Especially in May, children grow the fastest, reaching an average of 7.3 mm. 4. Appropriate exercise: Children’s early and intense exercise will also affect their height growth. Because excessive physical exertion will affect the nutrient supply to bones and muscles, and will also inhibit the secretion of growth hormone.
