6 Important Facts About Nutrition In Growing Taller

By Rodney Williams

Nutrition and its importance in maintaining our health and well being are no secret. We are constantly bombarded with new diets and methods we can use to eat and be healthier. Yet even knowing its importance, many of us find it difficult to give up the foods we love, for low fat or low sugar alternatives. Unfortunately, if you plan to gain height, here comes another lesson in proper eating, and hopefully one more reason for you to improve your diet and see the healthy results.

1) Vitamins - From the time we're young and given our first Flintstones chewable vitamin, we have some notion of the importance of vitamins, and while one should always strive to get their vitamin intake through food, this can be extremely difficult without eating large quantities of food, so those vitamin capsules could prove to be very useful again in later life. Nearly every vitamin can help promote growth, in addition to many other useful benefits.

2) Water - Water is another one of those items that we're well aware of the importance of, but few of us can manage to take in the suggested daily amount. The most useful benefit of water is its ability to flush toxins from the body, making it easier to receive the health benefits of many of the other items on this list.

3) Minerals - Minerals share many similarities with vitamins, though are only present in food not typically eaten in high quantities, making it difficult to achieve the recommended daily intake of them. Also like vitamins, supplements are available that can help offset this.

4) Protein - Much easier to obtain than minerals, protein contains many necessary acids to help in the development and growth of tissue.

5) Fats - With poor dieting often comes an excess of fat consumption, and this can have negative effects on height gain. Too much fat in the tissues can limit the release and effectiveness of growth hormones, and increased weight will also have the effect of making you look shorter than you are.

6) Carbohydrates - We look at carbs the same way as fat. Keeping your carbs, and thus your Glycemic Index under control will let your growth hormone function to its fullest. A favourite food of many, which has one of the lowest GI ratings, is pasta.

Maintaining a healthy and balanced 'grow taller' diet is never easy, and many of us struggle with doing so for various reasons. Knowing as you now do that proper nutrition will help you gain and maintain height will hopefully be the extra incentive you need to work harder at giving your body the fuel it needs to reach its full potential. - 17268
