His father was very worried and took him to a check-up, and after the doctor asked him about some of his eating habits, suspected that he was eating too much snacks, especially "spicy strips" eating too much.
Doctors said: Excluding genetics, diseases and other factors, it is likely that snacks affect the child's intake of normal nutrition, which in turn affects development. Although there is no authoritative conclusion on whether spicy strips are related to not long, the taste of spicy strips is heavy, unhygienic, will cause a variety of acute and chronic digestive tract diseases, and there is no nutrition, affecting the child's intake of normal nutrition, and indeed affecting development.
Although many snacks do not directly affect the child's lack of height, they have a greater impact on the child's appetite, digestive system, etc., affecting the child's absorption of nutrients, resulting in not growing tall. If you parents want your child to grow tall, you should pay attention to the following 4 kinds of food, which is a blacklist that affects the child's height, try to eat less.
1. Candy and sweets
Candy box other sweets, many children love to eat, but sweets will affect the appetite, eat too much to lead to no appetite to eat, so that a lot of nutrients can not be obtained from food. Therefore, many children who love sugar do not like to eat. In addition, sugar will also affect the metabolism of calcium in the body, hinder the calcification in the body, and affect the growth of height.
2. Carbonated drinks
Carbonated drinks are high in sugar, which will affect the child's appetite, and the phosphorus content is relatively high, drinking too much will lead to imbalance in the proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the body, resulting in stunting.

3. Fried food, pickled food, canned food
Donuts, fries and other foods, fried fragrant, many children love to eat, Fries and then with tomato sauce, it is simply sucking fingers, after eating another one. When eating breakfast, eating white porridge alone is too monotonous, and I don't want to prepare other foods, so I take squeezed vegetables to give my children white porridge to eat. However, these fried, pickled, canned foods, in the production process, lost a lot of nutrients, high oil, high salt, and the use of various additives, such as preservatives, flavors, pigments, etc., will not only stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, eat more will also cause digestive discomfort, affecting the absorption of meals.
4. Foods with added flavor and color

In addition to food factors, sleep and exercise are also important factors affecting the child's lifelong height, the secretion of growth hormone that promotes height growth in the human body is mainly carried out in the state of deep sleep at night, and the amount of growth hormone secreted at night is more than 5 times that of the daytime. Studies have shown that children with regular sleep, high sleep quality and sufficient sleep time can grow 2-3 centimeters longer per year.
Therefore, parents who are not dominant in height can also raise a tall child if they pay attention to external factors and acquired efforts. Children grow taller, three points rely on hard work, and effort must also use the right method. A natural and balanced diet is the healthiest!
