Grow Taller By Eating

Some people regard diet as just another four-letter word, but if you really want to grow taller, then you’ll need to watch what goes into your mouth. The good news is that dieting to lose weight is not at all the same as dieting to add inches to your height. Growth needs nutrition to fuel it, and the trick is to know what kind of nutrition.

Whatever your age, you should already be keeping to a healthy diet, more or less. If you are, then you’re already far ahead of the game. The next step is targeting the right mixture of nutrients for suitable cell growth. Which nutrients are most needed by your body to grow taller? What sort of food should you consume for these nutrients?

In general, balanced diets have proper amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. If your goal is height increase that happens naturally, you should concentrate on the first three of these: vitamins, minerals, and proteins.

See that you amp up, but still keeping to healthy levels, your consumption of eggs, fish, and drink a lot of milk. Also, your choice for veggies should lean towards beans, soy products, alfalfa, lentils, and peas. These all contain high levels of amino acids in proteins, a prime-mover in the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in your body.

Eat a lot of calcium-rich food as well, and be wary of so-called calcium-inhibitors: foods that hinder you’re body’s absorption of the mineral. This means cutting down, or even stopping the intake entirely, of coffee, refined sugar, and alcohol. Your smoking habit also negates all that calcium you’re trying to eat, as will all that salt and fat in your food.

So to grow vertically without growing horizontally as well (for you directionally challenged individuals, that means “for getting taller without getting fatter”), take out some, not all, of the carbohydrates in your present diet, like bread, pasta and rice. Replace the portions you took away with beans, fish, eggs and other protein-rich foods, and drink milk or a soy drink if you’re lactose intolerant.

Adjusting your diet to target height gain like this should already get you well on your way to achieving the dream. But there are more things you can do, more “grow taller” habits you should get on right away, and we’ll be talking exactly about those next!
