Is there any way to grow taller quickly?

Parents all hope that their children are taller, because taller people have some advantages in society, especially for those who like sports or professional athletes, height is a very important criterion. In order to make their children grow taller, parents will give them a lot of nutritious food. In fact, a person's height is determined by many factors, and if you want to grow taller, you must follow scientific methods.

Is there any way to grow taller quickly?

Protein

Protein is the basis of life. The proliferation of bone cells and the development of muscles and organs are inseparable from protein. The faster the human body grows and develops, the more protein it needs. Fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, peanuts, and soy products are all rich in high-quality protein, so you should pay attention to supplementing them. In addition, from May to October, teenagers should eat more eggs, because eggs contain essential nutrients such as protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and inorganic salts, and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body. The nutritional value of one egg is approximately equal to 250 grams of milk. During the 'mysterious months of May to October', due to rapid growth and development, when nutrition supply is insufficient, the human body is prone to rickets and anemia. Egg yolk contains a large amount of calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin D, which can promote bone calcification and hematopoiesis. Therefore, eggs are the best nourishing food to promote healthy growth.

Vitamins

Vitamins are essential for maintaining life, the most important of which are vitamins A, B, and C, which are essential for human growth and development. Animal liver, kidney, eggs, and especially vegetables contain a variety of vitamins, fiber and minerals. You should eat more fresh vegetables.

Minerals

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. Therefore, from May to October, you should supplement more calcium and phosphorus rich foods such as milk, dried shrimps, soy products, ribs, kelp, and seaweed. In addition, you should go outdoors and get more sun exposure to increase your exposure to ultraviolet rays, which will help synthesize vitamin D in the body and promote gastrointestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby ensuring healthy bone growth.

Get enough sleep

Sleep is also a 'nutrient' that helps the body grow taller. As the saying goes: People grow while they sleep. Sleep not only eliminates fatigue, but also after falling asleep, the body secretes more growth hormone than usual and lasts longer, which is conducive to growth. Therefore, it is necessary to develop regular living habits and ensure adequate sleep.

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.

Tips to grow taller

Although genetic limitations mean we have to leave everything to fate, doctors and nutritionists believe that the most effective way is to do our best by taking care of our diet and exercising regularly.

Parents need to grasp a few dietary secrets. It is not difficult to make their children grow taller and stronger. Eat more foods containing protein, especially the amino acids in them, which are the best helpers for growth. Next, I would like to recommend some foods that help you grow taller: beef, chicken liver, pork leg, beans, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, seaweed, flour, wheat germ, vegetables, etc.

Eat a balanced diet

Children, like adults, should consume six major food groups every day. Parents can refer to the Department of Health's daily dietary guidelines to understand the dietary needs of children of different age groups.

Adolescents grow fast and their activity levels increase. In order to provide the energy and nutrients needed for growth and development, their calorie requirements are relatively high. Boys need to consume 2150 to 2650 calories a day, while girls need 2100 to 2200 calories.

Not picky eaters

Many studies have pointed out that children’s eating habits from an early age are most influenced by their parents. Weng Huiling, a nutritionist at the National Taiwan University Hospital, believes that if you want your children to grow up well, not being picky about food is the most basic principle. When parents prepare meals for their children, they should try to add as many variations as possible so that their children can try a variety of foods from an early age. As long as you eat a wide variety of foods, you don't have to worry about lacking the nutrients needed for growth.

For example: Bitter melon is so bitter, how dare you eat it? A casual remark from an adult will give a child a specific impression of a specific food, which will become an excuse for him to refuse to eat it in the future. Of course, never use food as a tool to reward or punish your children.

Nutritionist Yung Huiling advises parents to pay more attention to their children's eating out and instill some healthy eating concepts in their children, such as: eating less fried foods, choosing a balanced and varied menu, and consuming all six major food groups. Parents are unable to understand their children’s diet, which can easily lead to poor nutritional status in their children in the long run.

Avoid obesity

Li Junxian, a pediatrician at Shin Kong Hospital, pointed out that obese children consume too much calories, fat and sugar, which causes their bone age to progress faster than their actual age. Although they are taller than other children at the beginning, they may not grow taller in the future because their growth period is advanced and compressed.

It is actually very simple to prevent children from getting fat. Just limit the number of times they eat high-calorie foods such as hamburgers and French fries, drink less sugary drinks, and do regular exercise, and they will not have obesity problems.

In addition, nutritionist Yung Huiling believes that modern teenage girls are influenced by the slim figures of idol stars. Even if they are of normal weight, they still desperately go on a diet to lose weight. This not only misses the opportunity to grow taller and develop, but also seriously affects their health in adulthood.
