Can children grow taller by drinking milk?

Many parents are worried that their children will not grow tall, because tall children can have many advantages in life nowadays. Therefore, more and more parents pay more attention to their children's height. In order to make their children grow taller, parents often let their children drink milk. Then the problem arises. Can children grow taller by drinking milk? In other words, does drinking milk help children grow taller? Which kind of milk should children drink?

Milk is rich in calcium and is the first choice of height-increasing food given by many parents. However, there are many varieties of milk on the market now, including pure milk, yogurt, and milk drinks. If parents want their babies to grow taller, it is best for them to choose pure milk.

The height of a baby is mainly determined by the growth and development of the baby's long bones, especially the femur of the thigh and the tibia and fat bones of the calf. Milk is a food that helps the baby grow taller. Milk is rich in calcium, which can promote bone growth.

"Processed milk such as fruit-flavored milk is a milk-containing beverage and cannot be used as a nutritional supplement for milk, with the exception of yogurt." Shi Lina said that the nutritional components of fresh milk and yogurt, such as protein, fat and vitamins, are not much different. 100ml of fresh milk contains 84.7ml of water, 72kcal of energy, 2.5g of protein, 2.7g of fat, 9.3g of carbohydrates and 118mg of calcium. The difference between the two is that the protein and fat in yogurt are easier to be absorbed by the human body, and the utilization rate of calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. is also greatly improved. In addition, yogurt also contains lactic acid bacteria, which can effectively inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria in the intestines and increase the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, maintaining the balance of intestinal flora; at the same time, it promotes the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, increases appetite, and enhances gastrointestinal digestive function.

The above is the answer to the question of whether children can grow taller by drinking milk. In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. Not all milk can help children grow taller and promote bone growth. Some milk only serves to clean the intestines, so if you want your child to grow taller, it is best to drink pure milk or fresh milk.
