With the improvement of living standards and the diversification of domestic residents' diets, the average height of children has increased a lot compared with many years ago. If parents are slacking off less than supervising their children's height development because of their diet, this can affect their children's life.
So, what foods are good for children's height development? What foods are not good for your child's height development?
Big Tree makes a summary here.
The first and third types of food are conducive to the development of children's height.
1. Dairy products.
Milk, known as a nutritious ideal food, contains protein that contains various amino acids needed to promote human growth and development, and the digestibility is as high as 98%. The content of calcium is also extremely rich, containing 125 mg of calcium per 100 grams of milk, and it is easy for the human body to absorb, which is the best calcium in the human body**.
It is recommended to drink more milk and yogurt, and be careful not to replace it with reconstituted milk, breakfast milk, and fruit-flavored dairy products.
2. Soy products.
Soybeans are by far the most protein-rich grain. And they are all plant-derived proteins, which are conducive to human absorption and digestion. Rich in 8 essential amino acids that the body must get from food. In particular, the lysine content is higher. There is a high-quality protein. In particular, soybeans are rich in easily absorbed calcium, which is an important part of the body's calcium.
It is recommended to eat more soy products such as tofu, tofu skin, soybeans, and bean curd. Snacks such as pickled tofu and spicy strips are not recommended.
3. Animal food.
Eggs, meat, and fish are rich in protein and rich in various essential amino acids. The nutritional value is high, so it should be eaten often, but the amount of each consumption should not be too high.
It is recommended to eat more eggs, meat, and fish, and it is not recommended to have snacks that are secondary processed by eggs, meat and fish.
In addition to the above three categories, vegetables and fruits are also essential. Vegetables and fruits are not rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and other trace elements, which can promote digestion and facilitate calcium absorption.
2. Foods that are not conducive to the development of children's height.
This type of food is mainly low in nutritional value, but has a strong sense of satiety, which affects the child's intake of food at the main meal. Some foods also deplete calcium in the body, increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and have a negative impact on the body.
1. Carbonated drinks.
The phosphorus content of cola drinks is too high, and excessive consumption can easily lead to an imbalance in the proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which in turn affects bone development and limits the height growth of adolescents. Children should drink less or no such beverages to avoid affecting their height development.
2. Candy and desserts.
Excessive sugar intake can disrupt the normal consumption of fat, leading to fat accumulation. It also hinders the metabolism of calcium. Once sugar intake reaches 16 to 18 percent of the total food intake, it disrupts calcium metabolism in the body and hinders the body's calcification.
On the other hand, excessive intake of sugar can disrupt the digestive system and cause food accumulation and indigestion, affecting normal eating and causing malnutrition.
3. "Junk food".
Fried food, puffed food, pickled food, canned products due to the large loss of nutrients in the production process, and the use of various additives, such as flavors, preservatives, pigments, etc., protein, vitamins and other nutrients are also very little, long-term consumption of such food, can lead to malnutrition in children.
To sum up, if children want to grow taller, they need more **, meat, eggs, fish, and soy products to supplement protein and calcium. At the same time, it is also necessary to eat more vegetables and fruits to achieve nutritional balance. For carbonated drinks, sweets, and junk food, don't eat them if you can. So as not to hinder the absorption of calcium, increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and affect the intake of staple foods.
