What can children eat to grow taller?

I always feel that my child is not tall enough, and he is much shorter than children of the same age. As a parent, I am also very worried, afraid that my child’s height will affect his future employment. The child is still young, and if he can supplement nutrition in time, there is still hope for him to grow taller. Diet is very important. What can children eat to grow taller? Let’s have a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of diet.

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. Calcium is essential for bone growth. Milk is high in calcium and is known as the best calcium supplement. Let your child drink 500 ml of milk every day to promote height growth. In addition, a child's height growth is related to his sleep quality and sleep period. Sleep is also a "nutrient" that makes the human body grow taller. As the saying goes: People grow while they sleep. Because sleep not only eliminates fatigue, but also after the body falls asleep, the secretion of growth hormone is more vigorous than usual and lasts longer, which is beneficial to height growth. Therefore, develop regular living habits and ensure adequate sleep. 22:00-24:00 is the time when the pituitary gland secretes growth hormone most actively. If the child does not sleep well during this period, it will hinder the secretion of growth hormone, thus affecting the development of height. Milk happens to have a certain sleep-inducing effect because the tryptophan it contains plays an auxiliary role. It is a good idea to let children drink a glass of pure warm milk before going to bed. Drinking a glass of milk in the morning and evening, and a cup of yogurt after lunch, is the best way to supplement calcium, and it is easy to digest and absorb. 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.

Participate in physical exercise

Regular participation in physical exercises suitable for height growth and brain health can promote blood circulation throughout the body, ensure that bones, muscles and brain cells get adequate nutrition, promote bone thickening, increase bone density, and enhance the ability to resist compression and bending. Exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, which helps bones, muscles and brain develop better. Therefore, you should participate in more activities that are suitable for height growth and brain health, such as skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, jumping rubber band, artistic gymnastics and various ball games. You can also achieve the best height-increasing effect through the organic combination of auxiliary treatment of height-increasing products and exercise.

Children should eat more nutritious foods to grow taller. Only by meeting the needs of children's growth and development, some healthy diets can help children grow taller, especially the many foods mentioned above. A reasonable diet is of great help to health. It is recommended to take less height-increasing drugs in life. After all, some drugs are very harmful to children's health.
