Baby height “inhibitor” was found, mainly “five over” food, mother less to give children to eat

The woman was 1.72m tall, but once she met him, she thought he was a little short and a little fat, so she said it might affect her children in the future!Another one chatted online, and knowing he was short and a bit fat, he just pulled the plug!So guys just know that if they are short, they are very easy to be passed over in the dating market!Nowadays guys who are tall, have a good job and look okay are also demanding height from women, after all, the height of their children in the future is influenced by their parents!Luckily our height is not only influenced by our parents, but also by our environment.

A recent study published in The Lancet found that China’s height for 19 year olds of both sexes has had the highest growth rate in the world over the last 30 years, with the average height for boys having reached 1m 75.7 and for girls 1m 63.5!

And what has changed most in our country over these 30 years is the good nutrition of our children, so diet and nutrition have a great impact on the height of our children!

On a daily basis we need to feed, drink, play and sleep our children well in order for them to grow taller, and even more so, we need to be careful to avoid letting them eat more of those foods that tend to inhibit their height.

The foods that inhibit children’s height have been found to be mainly “5 over” foods that mothers should collect.

Firstly: empty nutritious food with too much water.

Anna’s mother’s fondest memory of her childhood is that when she was young, in the summer, every morning her mother would cook two large plates of porridge and put them in a water jar to cool.

Then we would have congee for breakfast, and at lunchtime we would have congee if we didn’t cook, and at night we would still have congee if we didn’t finish it.

So in summer we drink congee for three meals a day. In fact, congee has a high water content and is an empty nutritious food, with less rice and more water.

Therefore, during the critical period when children are growing taller, it is not advisable to give them too much porridge, but soft rice.

If your child is a little older and if they are heavier, it is even advisable to give them some mixed rice, which will suppress their weight and also give them a boost of B vitamins and other nutrients.

In addition to avoiding porridge, avoid giving your child a lot of bone broth, chicken broth, meat broth and other types of soup.

These soups are mostly water and may contain a small amount of purine, but they are not helpful for children to grow taller. Drinking these soups will lead to children not being able to eat and lead to malnutrition.

Second: foods with too much phytate and oxalic acid.

I remember when I was young, I used to eat cabbage every summer, but after eating it, I would get cramps easily.

Later, when I grew up, I realised that there was more oxalic acid in the cabbage, and the cabbage was usually fried directly at home, so the oxalic acid was still in the cabbage, and the oxalic acid combined with our calcium to form calcium oxalate, which affects the absorption of calcium.

Many vegetables and fruits contain oxalic acid, so when we eat vegetables, we recommend blanching them first, and children should have more vegetables than fruits every day to avoid excessive intake of oxalic acid.

There is also phytic acid, nuts inside the phytic acid is relatively high, children are not recommended to eat nuts when they are small, to primary school to eat 50 grams per week is enough.

Thirdly: foods with too much fat.

For example, the cakes you buy for your child will have a lot of vegetable or animal protein in them, which is more than 90% fat.

Or if the meat we give our children contains fatty meat, the fat content will also be higher.

Some families like to put a lot of oil in their cooking, so that it tastes better.

But in fact, this will lead to a large amount of fat intake for children, and too much fat will easily lead to obesity in children, and once children are obese, they will tend to promote early bone age, which will affect the growth of their height.

So we should avoid giving our children too much fatty food and eat less food containing cream.

Fourth: Overly sweet foods.

Many children love sweets, but if you want your child to grow taller sweets should be avoided as much as possible.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also issued a sugar ban, advising children not to eat sugary foods until they are three years old and to control their sugar intake after that, not to eat more than 25 grams of sugar a day, including what we cook with, drink and temporarily.

High insulin levels will inhibit the secretion of growth hormone, which is detrimental to the child’s growth.

Fifth: Excessively salty food.

Excessively salty food contains a lot of sodium, and too much sodium will prevent the absorption of calcium, resulting in a lack of calcium in the body, which will lead to children not growing taller!

So if you want your child to grow taller, you should avoid the above 5 foods and give your child foods that contain high quality protein and rich calcium to help them grow taller.
