Spring height

BY Berton Gladstone 2020-06-12

   I saw a message from netizens: "‘Everyone said, "I have a vernal equinox meal, and I grow a line a day." I am a parent, and I am very concerned about the diet of children growing up in the spring. Excuse me, what can I eat to grow taller?

  Parents are concerned about the child’s height, which is indeed a major issue in the children’s and parents’ homes. I think everyone knows that spring is the season of germination throughout the year, a good season for everything to grow, then from the beginning of the Spring Festival to the Qingming season, it is the period of vegetative growth, the blood of the human body is also in a strong period, and the hormone levels are also relatively During the peak period, a reasonable diet and attention to sleep are conducive to growth and development. It is also timely for children and adolescents in the developmental period. Only then will there be "eating vernal meals, one day long" to provide nutrients, conforming to nature, Day by day.

  To help grow taller, we understand that some relevant scientific researchers have found that nomadic residents living in deserts and dry areas are mainly based on milk, goat milk, mare’s milk, etc. People''s height is high, and scientific research has also confirmed that the height of the human body is not only related to genetic factors and physical exercise, but also closely related to dietary nutritional status.

   There are usually two peak periods for human growth and development. The first stage is from birth to one year of age. The average height of a newborn baby is 50 cm, and the average height of the first year of life is 75 cm, which means that it is 50% longer; The second stage is the period of puberty development, starting from about 10-14 years old, mainly affected by growth hormone, and the height growth is rapid and obvious. By the age of 18-20, the bones are closed and the growth slowly declines.

   Height is mainly determined by the growth of long bones. There are two courses of growth for long bones. One is the proliferation of bone cells and the growth of organic matter; the other is the deposition of bone salts. The main component of organic matter is protein, and the main component of bone salt is calcium, phosphorus and a small amount of minerals such as sodium and magnesium.

  First of all, protein is an important nutrient for growth and development, and also an important component of various endocrine hormones. Protein is usually divided into two types: complete protein and incomplete protein. Complete protein (such as animal protein such as meat, poultry, egg, milk, fish, shrimp, etc.) contains essential amino acids, good quality and quantity, and high absorption rate, which can meet the needs of body growth and development. Incomplete proteins (such as plant proteins) contain incomplete essential amino acids, are of poor quality and quantity, have low absorption rates, cannot effectively provide protein sources, and are not conducive to growth and development. Therefore, to grow taller, there must be 1/3-1/2 high-quality complete protein in the diet. Complete protein comes from meat, eggs, fish, milk, etc.

  The height of the human body depends on the amount of auxin secreted by the human pituitary gland. If the auxin is secreted more, the individual is taller, otherwise it is shorter. 50%--60% of the conventional human brain weight is fat, and 40%--50% of the fat cannot be produced by the body itself, but can only be ingested from food. Therefore, in order to grow taller, a certain amount of fat rich in unsaturated fatty acids must be properly ingested. Because unsaturated fatty acids are good for growth and development. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid in vegetable oil are the most important. However, when ingesting vegetable oil, it is necessary to mix an appropriate amount of animal fat, which will promote growth more effectively.

  The main components of human bones are calcium and phosphorus. If calcium and phosphorus are lacking, it will hinder the growth and development of bones and affect their height. Let children and teenagers eat more calcium-containing foods. Various dairy products, seafood, eggs, soy products and green leafy vegetables all contain calcium. At the same time, more sun exposure is required to facilitate calcium absorption and growth. However, beans contain phytic acid and vegetables contain oxalic acid, so the absorption rate is not as good as animal food. The calcium-phosphorus ratio in the diet also has an effect on bone development. A reasonable calcium-phosphorus ratio (calcium-phosphorus ratio 1:2) results in rapid and complete bone development. In addition, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, and minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium, sodium, etc., although not the main ingredients to promote growth, but also essential nutrients for growth, are indispensable. Otherwise, it will affect the height. In short, a reasonable diet structure is one of the main factors to promote height, which cannot be ignored.
