Inside secrets on the correct regular diet for growing taller.

The correct regular diet you need in order to grow taller is a proper combination of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Your regular diet should be rich in these three kinds of nutrients. Proteins are composed of one or more chains of amino acids. They are fundamental components of all living cells and include many substances, such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies that are necessary for the proper functioning of an organism. They are essential in the diet of animals for the growth and repair of tissue and thus you should ingest large amounts of protein if you want to grow taller. The best foods for complete proteins (those that contain the most appropriate distribution of amino acids for growth) are fish, eggs, milk, and legumes. These foods contain most of the 20 amino acids, including the 8essential amino acids that are not synthesized by your body. Therefore, replace rice, bread, and hamburger with fish, eggs, and skim milk!

Vitamins are fat-soluble or water-soluble organic substances essential in minute amounts for normal growth and activity of the body. The most important vitamins for growth are:

* Vitamin A Function: Converted to retinal; essential for growth and differentiation of cells as well as normal vision. Food Sources: Animal liver, milk, yellow and green vegetables such as carrots and broccoli.

* Vitamin B6 Function: Properly assimilates protein and fat; works as a natural diuretic. Food Sources: Animal liver, beef, kidney, green leafy vegetables like cabbage.

* Vitamin B12 Function: Forms and generates red blood cells; increases energy and promotes growth. Food Sources: Cheese, animal liver, kidney, pork, and beef.

* Vitamin C Function: Helps synthesis of collagen and other intercellular substances; formation of bone matrix and tooth dentin, intercellular cement and metabolism of several aminoacids.Food Sources: Citrus fruits, tomatoes, berries, and cauliflower and green leafy vegetables like cabbage.

* Vitamin D Function: Promotes calcium absorption from digestive tract; essential for normal growth and maintenance of bone. Food Sources: Egg yolk, fish oils, milk, butter, and margarine.

* Vitamin E Function: Supplies oxygen to the body cells; essential for virility; prevents cholesterol deposits in arteries. Food Sources: Wheat germ, eggs, soy beans, green leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

* Vitamin K Function: Aids in proper blood clotting, helps prevent internal bleeding and hemorrhage. Food Sources: Egg yolk, fish, animal liver, soybean, and green vegetables.

Minerals are inorganic elements that are essential to the nutrition of humans. Minerals are important because they make up a large part of your bones and thus can directly affect the growth of your bones! The most important minerals for growth are:
* Calcium Function:
Important component of bones and teeth; essential for normal blood clotting; helps normal muscle nervefunction.Food Sources: Milk, dairy products, fish, green leafy vegetable.

* Chromium Function:
Aids in growth process; helps prevent and lower high blood pressure. Food Sources: Meat, clams, brewer's yeast, shellfish.

* Iron Function:
Aids growth; helps form hemoglobin in blood; aid for good skin tone. Food Sources: Animal Liver, beef kidney, egg yolk, cereals, clams, and red meat.

* Phosphorus Function:
Structural component of bone; performs more functions than any other mineral; required for healthy bones and teeth; necessary for energy metabolism. Food Sources: Meat, milk, dairy products, fish, eggs, and cereals like nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

* Magnesium Function:
Aids in bone growth and the function of nerves and muscles; aids in the regulation of blood pressure and water balance in cells. Food Sources: Apples, grapefruits, lemons, seeds, nuts, yellow corn, and dark green vegetables.

* Manganese Function:
Aids in cartilage and bone formation, necessary in energy metabolism. Food Sources: Egg yolks, whole-grain cereals, green vegetables.

* Zinc Function:
Aids in growth and repair of tissues. Necessary for cell division, growth, wound healing, and proper functioning of the immune system. Food Sources: Milk, yogurt, meat, some seafood, brewer’s yeast, and pumpkin seeds.

* Iodine Function:
Aids in the regulation of thyroid hormones needed for normal growth and development. Food Sources: Salt, kelp, all seafood, onions, and vegetables grown in iodine rich soils.

The most important mineral is calcium. Be aware that some common foods and drinks can act like calcium inhibitors and thus stunt growth. Those calcium inhibitors include: coffee, soft drinks (like Coke and Pepsi), refined sugar, concentrated sweetener, excessive salt, excessive fats, alcohol, and cigarettes. Stop or reduce the consumption of these foods and drinks if you want to grow taller!

Therefore, the correct regular diet for you to grow taller should mainly consist of protein-rich food such as fish, unsaturated meat, eggs, milk, and legumes; vitamin-rich food such as fruits, vegetables, and animal liver; mineral-rich food such as milk, dairy products, and seafood.
