Can drinking milk in the morning help you grow taller?

In recent decades, our country's economy has developed very rapidly and the living standards have also greatly improved. Therefore, many children born in the 1990s and 2000s in China are taller than their parents. With the improvement of living standards, milk has become a nutritious product that every household can afford. Milk has accompanied the post-90s generation throughout their entire growth process. Some people believe that drinking milk in the morning can help people grow taller, so let's share this issue today.

For adolescents in the developmental stage, drinking milk every day can help them grow taller, but it is not absolute. Milk not only supplements the calcium needed for the growth of adolescents, but is also rich in protein, amino acids, phosphorus, etc. As far as amino acids are concerned, teenagers' needs are 5 times higher than those of adults. If they do not get enough, it will naturally have an adverse effect on their height, weight and other physical indicators. If parents want their children to grow taller by letting them drink milk, they also need to provide their children with foods rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals so that their children can get comprehensive nutrition and develop healthily.

In addition, everyone knows that milk can help you sleep. Growth hormone is active only after falling asleep. Children need sufficient sleep when they are growing, so it is very beneficial for teenagers to drink a glass of milk before going to bed for their healthy growth.

How to drink milk healthily. 1. Avoid drinking on an empty stomach in the morning. Many parents provide milk to their children as breakfast. In fact, drinking milk on an empty stomach is not conducive to the absorption of nutrients, and the sleep-inducing effect of milk will have an adverse effect on children's morning learning, so it is best to change the time of drinking milk to before bedtime. 2. Eat some starchy foods before drinking milk. Such as steamed buns, bread, biscuits and so on. Because there are starchy foods in the human stomach, the time that milk stays in the stomach can be prolonged, allowing it to fully undergo enzymatic hydrolysis with gastric juice and the protein to be fully digested and absorbed. Milk should not be consumed with foods containing tannic acid, such as strong tea, persimmons, etc. These foods can easily react with milk to form lumps, affecting digestion. Prefer highly processed milk. The nutritional value of highly processed milk is not necessarily better than that of fresh milk. This is because after multiple processing, trace elements or inorganic salts are mostly added to the milk, but these ingredients are not necessary for everyone, so they may not be suitable for everyone.

Although drinking milk in the morning can make teenagers grow taller, a reasonable diet and proper physical exercise are also essential. Strengthening physical exercise to keep your body strong can promote the body's absorption of calcium. You should also eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin D, or get some sun exposure regularly. This will allow the body to absorb calcium more fully and be more conducive to growth.
