What foods can children eat to grow taller?

If children can pay attention to their daily diet in life, they can better supplement the nutrients they need, and these substances can better protect the health of children and help them improve their body's immunity. The following recommendations are foods that can help children grow taller. I hope parents can pay attention to the choice of these foods when preparing daily meals.

Height-increasing food combinations

All the nutrients needed by the human body come from food. We should make good combinations of coarse and fine foods for three meals a day, and have a proper ratio of meat and vegetables. We should make full use of the complementarity of animal and plant proteins to improve the nutritional value of protein.

Foods rich in calcium: milk, beans, dried shrimp, kelp, animal bones, seaweed, mussels, sesame paste, melon seeds;

Foods rich in copper and iron: animal liver, meat, shrimp, and shellfish;

Phosphorus-rich foods: milk, fish, liver, egg yolk, beans, potatoes (if there is no protein deficiency, there will be no lack of calcium and phosphorus);

Foods rich in zinc: fish, lean meat, animal liver, dried fruits, black fungus;

The staple food of children should not be too refined, but should be coarser and more varied. Bad eating habits of children should also be corrected. Being picky about food will lead to the lack of certain nutrients. Eating too much sugar will consume a large amount of VB1 in the body, causing loss of appetite, resulting in insufficient protein absorption by the body, making the body neutral or weakly acidic. In order to restore the normal weak alkaline state of the human body, the body will consume a certain amount of calcium, affecting height growth. Eating too many snacks and eating too salty vegetables will hinder height growth.

Protein: Babies need about 100 grams of protein every day. Milk, eggs, lean meat, fish and beans are all rich in protein.

Calcium and Phosphorus: Infants, toddlers and preschoolers should get enough calcium and phosphorus every day. At present, our daily diet is mainly based on cereals, but cereal foods contain more oxalic acid. Oxalic acid and calcium combine to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which will affect the body's absorption of calcium. Therefore, eat more foods rich in calcium and phosphorus.

Children themselves may not know much about the choice of these foods, but as parents, we should of course pay attention to these issues, because as long as parents prepare these healthy and scientific foods for them, then it can bring better effects in supplementing nutrition, ensuring their health and growth, and can also keep children away from some diseases effectively.
