Nowadays, the growth environment and living conditions of children have greatly improved. Children grow very tall and very fast. However, some children develop late and are always shorter than their peers. This will cause inferiority complex over time. Many parents are very anxious and are afraid that their children will not grow tall. They try all kinds of ways to help their children grow taller. So, what should children eat to grow taller? Height is determined by bones. Protein is the basis of cells, and protein collagen fibers form the reinforcement of bones. Calcium, phosphorus, etc. are the concrete of bones. Fish, eggs, milk, lean meat and soy products can provide high-quality protein. Milk, dried shrimps, animal cartilage, kelp, sesame, beans, and coarse grains are rich in calcium. Foods rich in phosphorus include: egg yolks, soybeans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and fish. At the same time, children should be provided with sufficient vitamins and trace elements. Vitamin C is an essential element for the production of collagen tissue in the human body. Once the supply stops, bone growth will also stop. Kiwi fruit, jujube, hawthorn, persimmon, pepper and cauliflower are rich in vitamin C. Carrots, sweet potatoes, green vegetables and yellow fruits contain a lot of carotene, which has disease-fighting and growth-promoting effects. Poultry eggs and animal offal contain vitamin D, which promotes the body's absorption of calcium. Iron is the soul of human blood. Animal offal, lean fish and shrimp, and animal blood are rich in iron. Eating them together with foods containing vitamin C can increase the absorption rate of iron. Zinc is involved in the synthesis of many enzymes in the body. Children with zinc deficiency lag significantly behind normal children in growth and development. Zinc deficiency can also reduce immunity, causing illness and affecting growth and development. Regular consumption of seafood, lean meat, animal liver, and peanuts can effectively prevent zinc deficiency. Iodine is an essential element for the formation of thyroid hormone. Thyroxine is crucial to intelligence and height. After reading the above content, I believe many parents will immediately put their minds at ease. In fact, the height of a child does not mean anything. The concentration is the essence. Of course, children must have a reasonable and nutritious diet to grow, and parents should not put pressure on their children. These are not important. The most important thing is that children are healthy and happy. |
