What can children eat to stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone?

Height is an issue that everyone cares about. In fact, there are many factors that affect height, which can be mainly divided into two categories: congenital genetic factors and acquired factors. Each factor is not absolute. The so-called congenital deficiencies can be compensated for later. Therefore, if you want to grow taller, you can start with acquired factors, which can promote the secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland, mainly through nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep.

1. Eat

Eat well: balanced nutrition, especially supplementing certain nutrients. Don't be picky about food, and don't go on a diet. What you need to supplement in particular are protein, calcium and vitamins. Fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, peanuts and soy products are all rich in high-quality protein, so you should pay attention to supplementing them more. Milk, dried shrimps, soy products, spare ribs, bone soup, kelp, seaweed, etc. are foods rich in calcium and phosphorus. Also remember to get more sun exposure so that calcium can be easily absorbed.

At the same time, eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. Many people do not truly understand that "vitamins are elements for maintaining life and are essential for human growth and development." Eat less snacks, especially junk food and fast food that are high in sugar and calories.

2. Lifestyle

Get enough sleep: The main time for growing taller is between 11pm and 2am. If you miss this period, how can you grow? Don't smoke or drink; be sure to eat breakfast; be in a good mood, be positive and optimistic, especially don't feel inferior because of your height, or always have negative emotions that you can't grow taller.

3. Exercise - the most important

Jumping - Basketball, volleyball and other sports that involve jumping actions are very helpful in growing taller. If you don’t have time to do these sports, it will also be helpful to practice jumping more often.

Stretching exercises - you can find some height-increasing exercises to practice and stretch your body. It’s good to practice on single or double bars, which mainly involves swinging your body in the air and letting gravity pull your body taller.

The pituitary gland is an important endocrine gland in the human body. It can secrete many hormones, some of which can promote human height growth. So usually, as long as you promote the pituitary gland to secrete these hormones, you can effectively grow taller. It can be promoted mainly from three aspects: increasing nutrition, enhancing exercise and developing good living habits.
