Growing naturally is always a theme that is born during adolescence. You see everyone catching up on their height while you’re there, amazed and wondering why you’re still at the starting station. It can be embarrassing when the people you know (who were actually shorter than you before) are now taller than you. It is sometimes a subject of ridicule among teenagers. But, in reality, you have two choices, namely: work to gain a few inches or give up the ghost entirely by blaming your inherited genes for not being taller. Genetic inheritance is something we have no jurisdiction over, but we can maximize our genes by pushing them to the limit so that we can achieve what we want. If it’s a big problem for you, then it would be reason enough for you to work hard to solve it.

Growing taller would mean that you have to maintain the correct diet, which will help your “genes” to work harder to make you grow taller. It means you need to EAT WELL!

So what do I need to eat?

1 – Foods rich in vitamin D

Vitamin D is always called the sunshine vitamin because this vitamin is mainly obtained from the sun, but this is not entirely true. This is because you not only get it from the sun, but also from foods that you can find in the supermarket and that are available for you to consume. Exposure to sunlight isn’t necessary at all, but it’s still helpful, especially when the sun is still rising.

So, these are some of the foods that you take instead of the sun:

* Margarines

* Cod liver oil

* herring

* canned salmon

* Fortified butters

* smoked herring

*Mackerel

Getting vitamin D for your intake will help you a lot in your quest to get taller, but you shouldn’t exceed the RDA. Remember, too much of everything is still bad for your health, even if they are beneficial in the sense.

The lack or absence of vitamin D in your body will cause your bones to become brittle and soft, which will affect your overall posture and ultimately hinder the growth process. Therefore, the road to height would mean a lot of vitamin D for you.

2 – Foods rich in protein

The largest source of protein is lean meat, and therefore you need to eat more of this type of food to influence your growth rate. However, you must be sure that you will convert those proteins into the energy you need.

Your metabolism will greatly affect your growth rate. It is because your metabolism will facilitate the production of growth hormones. This should help you get your growth in no time.
