5 Foods That Can Make You Grow Taller
While genetics do affect your height, environmental factors such as nutrition
are just as (if not more) important when it comes to make sure you reach the
height you desire.
To promote natural growth, there are a number of nutrients that you must include
in your diet.
Here you can find 10 foods that contain these nutrients, and that will help you
increase your height.
1. Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc)
Dairy products are great for making sure you grow optimally.
Cow milk is a rich source of protein, which is one of the body's most important
building blocks. It has about 8 grams per cup (240 ml).
Yogurt contains 12-18 grams per 5 oz portion. Half a cup of cottage cheese
contains 14 grams protein.
Dairy products are also rich in calcium and as bones are essentially made out of
calcium, it's intake is necessary for bone growth and skeletal development. A
lack of calcium during childhood or adolescence can lead to growth issues and
not having the right bone density.
Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium and the correct functioning
of calcium in the body.
If you can consume dairy products (don't have an allergy or intolerance), this
is a great food that can't be missing in your daily diet.
2. Chicken
Chicken is another food that is very high on protein, containing around 20 grams per 3-once serving, and many other essential nutrients. It contains high amounts of vitamin B12, which is a vitamin that is key when it comes to growing taller.
3. Salmon
Salmon is a type of fish that is famous for having plenty of omega-3 fatty
acids.
Omega-3 is a type of healthy fat that's crucial for the body's growth.
Plus, salmon is high in protein, B vitamins, and potassium. All very
important
nutrients when it comes to growing taller naturally.
4. Eggs
Eggs are yet another great source of protein; a large egg contains about 6
grams of protein.
Eggs also have lots of other vitamins and minerals that are key for growing
taller. Including vitamin D, discussed earlier.
5. Beans
Beans (and other legumes in general) are rich in protein, magnesium,
calcium,
and fiber.
Beans are notoriously rich in iron, which can help to protect against
anemia; a
condition in which there is a lack of healthy red blood cells. Plus, iron is
required for tissue growth. Iron deficiency may also contribute to delayed
growth in children.
Also, beans are rich in many other nutrients. Like: copper,
magnesium (another important nutrient for growth), manganese, and zinc.
Conclusion
Nutrition plays a huge role in making sure you have the proper development. You,
quite literally, "are what you eat".
Making sure your daily diet has the right amount and variety of nutrients, will
help you grow taller as well as keeping your height. Plus, it will make sure you
are healthy.
