Can you believe it?
Once upon a time, there was a breakfast recipe that didn't look good,
Let the children grow an average of 10 centimeters tall,
It's not an exaggeration.
It's a magical recipe that really exists.
It's from Norway,
It's called "Oslo Breakfast".
It was 1927.
In order to provide students with nutritious school meals,
Government of Oslo
Asked Schi tz, a well-known nutritionist at the time, to design the recipe.
Norway had just come out of World War I.
The whole country is struggling to feed itself.
In this context,
This recipe not only ensures nutrition,
It can't be too expensive,
Otherwise the government cannot afford it.
The final designed breakfast looks like this:
Two slices of whole wheat bread
butter
A sausage or a slice of cheese
Half an apple or half an orange
236 ml fresh milk
A carrot
Add a scoop of cod liver oil from September to March (rich in vitamins A and D, but eating more will poison)
Please note that this breakfast is cold and carrots are raw.
Xiaobian did it himself, and the taste was indeed not bad.
However, it made 14-year-old secondary school students in Norway grow an average of 10 centimeters tall that year.
Not only that. These students have also gained weight, fewer illnesses, and improved key academic performance!
A century later, a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics was even more surprised to find that
The beneficiaries of the Oslo breakfast increased by an average of 0.1 years of schooling and their income increased by 2%-4%!
A little breakfast recipe changed the whole life of the children.
Where is the magic of oslo recipes?
From the perspective of current nutrition, its design is very scientific.
Compared with the "Healthy Eating Plate", each of the four categories did not fall behind.
Seeing this, parents who care about their children's growth and development must be eager to try it, right?
wait. After all, there is no one-size-fits-all panacea in this world.
Moreover, we now have no shortage of ingredients in our home, and we can eat more abundantly than the Oslo recipe:
1. "Two whole wheat breads" are carbs: we can exchange them for coarse grains such as corn/purple potato/oats/brown rice/quinoa or potatoes;
2. "Butter" belongs to fat: we can change to tahini/peanut butter/nuts, etc.;
3. "A sausage or a slice of cheese" belongs to fat, protein, etc.: we can change it to eggs/chicken legs/steaks/dried tofu, etc.;
4. "Half an apple or half an orange" contains vitamin C, potassium, carotene, etc.: we can exchange it for a variety of seasonal fruits;
5. "236 ml fresh milk" contains protein, calcium: we can choose pure milk/yogurt/cheese, etc.;
6. "A carrot" belongs to vegetables and is rich in carotene: we can change to yellow-green vegetables, etc.;
7. "From September to March of the following year, add a spoonful of cod liver oil", which belongs to vitamin A and vitamin D, there are many on the market, and regular brands can be supplemented according to needs.

Tip: This recipe is for your reference only. To make the little ones more fond of eating, there are several recipes that use high-salt ham, and some may be sweet (such as steamed sugar yam). If the child's eating habits are good, parents can give the child a lighter meal, replace the ham with other meats, and increase the proportion of grains
If you want to grow up, in addition to eating good food for your children, foods with high oil, high salt and high sugar should also eat less.
Because of excessive oil, salt and sugar, it is easy to increase the risk of obesity in children. Obese children tend to develop early, which in turn leads to the early end of the child's growth period, which may affect the child's final height, allowing the child to grow a few centimeters less.

The last thing to say is,
Of course, we don't think that a nutritious diet alone can immediately make a child grow 10 centimeters tall.
In addition to diet,
Exercise, sleep, and whether the child's mood is happy or not also play an important role in the growth and development of the child.
Therefore, attached is a comparison table of height development for children aged 0-18 years,
