It is widely accepted throughout the medical and scientific communities that the food we eat has

a huge impact on our growth rate as humans. This has lead to a series of studies in to grow taller

diets and growing taller nutrition as a whole.

Not only is it the type of food that we eat which makes a difference, but also the quality and

quantity of the food which has an effect also.

Over the last few years the food we eat has been recognised as playing a crucial part in our

growth, including that of our height! This means that the right type of food needs to be consumed

if we are to grow to our full height potential.

As with most balanced diets, there are 6 food nutrient groups which we need to make sure is

included in our diets if we are togrow taller naturallythrough nutrition.

All of these play an individual part in both growth, and in keeping us generally healthy and

illness free.1. Minerals

We do not want this to happen because it means less calcium is available for your bones. If on

the other hand you consume plenty of calcium during the day, your body will deposit the left

over calcium in to the bank, which benefits your bones!

If you tend to have a diet that is always low in calcium, over time the bodys calcium bank will

run out and your bones can begin to grow weak and brittle.

This leads to easier breakages and means your body cannot repair and fix itself as easy. This is a

problem in older people as they naturally age, however if you maintain a high calcium diet your

bones will continue to become more dense until the age of about 30!

You can supplement your diet with calcium products, but a well balanced diet is always a better

option.

Next its Phosphorous.

Phosphorus is another mineral that is found in huge abundance throughout the human body. This

is probably because the vast majority of it is combined with calcium in your body to create the

compound calcium phosphate, which is the source of your bones strength.

It also has a secondary function which is just as important to your grow taller diet. Calcium

phosphate carries very important information about cell regeneration as it forms part of your

DNA.

As it often works hand in hand with the calcium in your body, it is a sensible idea to make sure

you also have a high intake of phosphorus rich foods in your diet.

Fortunately for us, this time phosphorous is quite easy to include in our daily diets as it is found

in a wide range of produce such as dairy produce and meat, fish and even in vegetables too.

However, phosphorus does have a negative side to it too. It can in large quantities interfere withyour bodies abilities to use calcium.

One item of your diet that could lead to this sort of issue is soda. Most soft drinks do contain a

high level of phosphorus, so while you do want to keep an equal level of calcium and

phosphorus, you do not want to overload you body with a huge imbalance of it in your grow

taller nutrition plan.

Growing Taller Nutrition Part 2 Vitamins

inNUTRITION

Vitamins are basically organic substances which are essential for our growth and development at every stage

during our life.

It is therefore really important that we make sure we are consuming an adequate level of vitamins throughout

our daily lives.

Vitamins are essential to us and unfortunately our bodies are unable to create these sort of substances

ourselves, so if we want togrow taller, we really need to have enough vitamins for our body to develop and our

bones to grow.

There are two primary types of vitamins which we should be including in our diets. These are basically fat

soluble vitamins and water soluble vitamins. Each has its own characteristics which we will briefly cover here

1) Fat-soluble vitamins These are the vitamins which we normally take in through eating meats and other

associated products made from animals or animal extracts such as fats and dairy produce too.

The main fat soluble minerals we should be concerned with are vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and finally

vitamin K.

These particular vitamins are transported throughout your system in fats, and if you have an excess of this, your

body will store it in your fatty tissues or liver.
http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/


5/15

This method of storing fat soluble vitamins means you have a reserve and do not need to take them in on a daily

basis.

2)Water-soluble vitamins Again, these vitamins are also found in meats and fish but they are also found

in most vegetables and fruits.

Unlike fat soluble minerals they are transported in water instead of fats which means it is not possible for your

body to store these vitamins as your system will naturally flush them through in your waste products like urine.

How can I get all these vitamins from my diet?

It is not too difficult to achieve an adequate level of vitamins in your daily diets. Most of the foods we know to

be good for us contain high levels of vitamins, especially those foods such as green vegetables and fruits.

Some other types of foods are now manufactured to also help, such as fortified breakfast cereal which contains

added vitamins too.

However the conventional techniques used to mass produce our foods these days have the effect of leechingvitamins from them.

This means it is even more important when trying to grow taller to eat fresh produce that is not packaged or has

not been processed and placed on a store shelf.

Make sure the variety of food you consume is varied too, including fish and grains which are healthy for your

most important organ, the heart.

It is widely agreed that proteins are the foundation building block for all life.

As humans our bodies use protein for just about every process that takes place in our systems.

You will probably have noticed that regular gym users develop larger muscles than the average

person?

Well did you also know that it is not only hard work that produces these muscles?

For muscles to grow larger and stronger the body must repair and rebuild them to a bigger size

than they previously were, so can you guess what the body will use to do this?

Yes, thats correct, protein!

Weight lifters and bodybuilders have to consume enormous amounts of protein to help their

bodies to increase in size and muscle density.

So, just like any other development that may take place in your body, protein must be an

important part of yourgrow tallernutrition plan! Apart from the usual vitamins, minerals and

fats, your body will required elevated levels of protein to help facilitate the growth you require to

become taller.

There are essentially two types of protein which our bodies will require to do this.

The first is a called a complete protein and the second is know as an incomplete protein.

There is a difference between the two and it is important you understand this, so here is a brief

explanation of them:

1) Complete Protein - A complete protein contain a full quota of essential amino acids which

are necessary for your body to rebuild tissues.

These are normally found in food types such as animal meats, fish, eggs and cheeses. Basically

any organic food derived from a living creature is likely to contain complete proteins.

2) Incomplete Protein - An incomplete protein is therefor a protein which does not have a

complete quota of amino acids. These proteins lack the capability to be used independently to

rebuild and develop your body.Although it can be combined with other proteins to complete the chain and be very useful to your

body. This type of protein is normally found in pulses such as nuts, beans and seeds too.

The best foods for complete proteins for your grow taller nutrition diet are those complete

proteins which can be found in fish, eggs, milk, and lean meats.

These foods normally contain most of the complete 20 amino acids, as well as the 8 essential

ones which cannot be synthesized by the human body.

Another one of the most effective proteins you should be consuming is soy protein. This is now

more widely available than ever in stores and can come as a replacement for products such as

corned beefor hamburgers. Try soy milk, nuts, and soy flour.

If you like the idea of consuming a protein shake to increase your intake, try this recipe: mix 2-5 boiled egg

whites, 1 to 2 bananas, 3-6 strawberries, 1 teaspoon of vanilla in blender at high speed.

You can add soy protein or milk or even vegetables. Try different proportions to match your taste. Drink this

shake once or twice a day between meals or after exercise, and a smaller shake right before you go to bed.

List of Amino Acids:

Food Sources Benefits

Arginine Brown rice, Carob proteins, Chocolate,Nuts, Oatmeal, Popcorn, Raisins, Rawcereals, Sesame seeds, Sunflower

seeds, Whole-wheat products

This is main building block of proteins used inthe body and also stimulates the body torelease human growth hormone too.

L-Lysine Cheese, Eggs, Fish, Lima beans, Milk,Potatoes, Red meat, Soy products,

Yeast

This is another essential building block used inthe body. It also aids the body to produce

antibodies and promotes healing and repair to

damaged tissues.

Tyrosine Almonds, Avocados, Bananas, Cheese,

Cottage cheese, Lima beans, Non-fatdried milk, Peanuts, Pickled herring,

Therefore you should be eating more carbohydrate foods which contain a lower GI (glycemic index) rating to

avoid boosting the insulin levels in your blood and preventing the body from effectively using the growth

hormones you have in your system.Growing Taller Nutrition Part 5 Fats

inNUTRITION


11/15

Now youve considered the other elements of a diet that you need to maximize your efforts to

grow taller, you need to think about fats.

Most of probably think of fats as a very negative element in our daily diets and most likely think

we should avoid these at all costs. However that is not necessarily the case.

There are in fact two types of fats which we as Humans consume as part of our daily eating

habits and you should be aware of where fats fit in to your grow taller diet plan.

The two types of fats we consume are known as saturated andunsaturated fats. A diet which is

excessively high in fats will of course stunt your growth efforts, so lets talk about the two

different types of fats:The saturated fats are those which we consider to be the most harmful to us as people. They

contain extremely high levels of cholesterol which can block your arteries and cause fat deposits

to be left around your arteries and organs which can then sometimes lead to illnesses such as

heart disease.

Saturated fats can also contain lot of calories which tends to cause you to put on weight at a

faster rate than other foods.

As we have already discussed, putting on weight will counter your efforts to grow taller as it will

make your body appear to be wider and therefore shorter too.

Primarily saturated fats come from animal products like red meat and fatty dairy items such as

whole milk and eggs so try to control the amount of these foods you eat.

The second type of fats we will discuss are known as unsaturated fats.

These types of fats are less harmful to you as they contain a far lower calorific value and also

contain lower levels of cholesterol too. As a Human, you do require a certain level of fats to keep

yourself healthy and for certain functions to be carried out effectively in your body.


12/15

Due to this purpose you should try and make sure you eat more unsaturated fats than saturated in

yourgrow tallerdiet plan.

There is now a wide range of products available which contain unsaturated fats as opposed to the

more harmful saturated.

Some vegetable oil used in cooking contain more unsaturated fats. The most commonly used

unsaturated vegetable oils are corn, soy and cotton seed.

You should also be aware that dairy produce such as full fat milks and butters do contain high

levels of saturated fats, so instead you should opt to drink skimmed milk which is better for you.

You should also remember that although we do need a small amount of fat to stay healthy, it should make up no

more than around 25-30% of your daily food intake.

Adopting a sensible grow taller diet plan will allow your body to continue releasing growth hormones without

being compromised by high levels of insulin.

Growing Taller Nutrition Part 6 Water

inNUTRITION

As you are probably aware that water is the foundation for life and is the basic essential element

of our bodies.
http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/21/how-to-grow-taller-naturally/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/21/how-to-grow-taller-naturally/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/21/how-to-grow-taller-naturally/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/


13/15

In fact around 80% of our body is made up of water! It is used in every single process that take

place both internally and externally from operating our organs to moisturizing our skin and

maintaining muscle structure too.

Water is also use in the synovial fluids that lubricate our joints and allow them to move freely

every day.

It is difficult for us to understand just how crucial water is to our survival, but when you consider

that a human can generally survive for several weeks without food, but can only survive for a

matter of two days without water, it helps to emphasize its importance in our lives.

It is recommended that we consume around 1.5 litres of water each and every day. This can be

made up of other fluids such as tea, coffee and juice drinks, but it is critical we do not let our

bodies become dehydrated.

What we need to remember is that for our bodies to function properly it needs to be adequately

hydrated, which means that without water, the processes which use growth hormones to allow usto grow taller cannot take place.

This means that water is a very important factor we need to include in our grow taller nutrition

plan.

Dont forget, it is very difficult to drink too much fluid as our bodies will simply pass it through

as urine, which means we can make certain we consume enough fluid each and every day

without the risk of it becoming a health problem.

Remember, to grow tallerour bodies will need all the nutrients it can get, and water is the basis

for consuming these and helping to transport them around your body too.

These fluids can be consumed as one of the following: plain water from a safe drinking source,

juice from fresh squeezed fruits or bottled juices, warm drinks such as tea or coffee but beware

of taking in too much caffeine as it could lead to headaches and restlessness.

Alcoholic drinks do not qualify as fluid intake as the diuretic effect they have actually means that

nutrients are washed from your body and you will lose fluids too.

Growing Taller Nutrition Part 7 General Advice

inNUTRITION

So youre concerned about your height and want to find out if its possible to increase your current height?

Well the good news is there are many possibilities available for you to try. There are three

primary areas that you can focus on to achieve the best results possible.

Firstly this includes the food you eat on a daily basis, both quality and quantity along with the

type of food is very important.
http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/68/how-to-grow-taller-in-3-simple-steps/http://growingtallerguide.com/index.php/category/nutrition-for-height/


14/15

Secondly a specifically designed exercise program will be effective at increasing your spinal

column length and as a result will increase your natural height.

Third and finally you have the option of using growth hormones, both organic through your own

bodys production, or through the administration of manmade growth hormone injection.

The information in Grow Taller 4 Idiots can help you get a plan together and grow taller

naturally.

Primarily you are probably concerned with actual height increase, which is highly dependent on

the levels of growth hormones in your body.

Fortunately for you there are ways to increase these levels. These are as follows:

1. The right grow taller exercisesand a carefully considered diet.

2. Products which release growth hormones.

3. Through a course of man-made growth hormones.

You may feel that the growth hormones mentioned in points 2 and 3 above are not something you would feelcomfortable considering. Well thats fine. The growing taller naturally option may not work as quickly but it is a

much safer approach.

For you to understand the process of growing taller through exercise and nutrition I would like to explain the

three stage process that your body will go through after each meal you consume.

It is important that you understand these processes below:

1) After you have eaten your blood sugar will begin to rise in the first hour. Insulin levels will be increased too.

This release is used to support the excess storage of carbohydrates and fats.

2) After hour 2, the levels of the natural growth hormone begin to increase and the level of insulin and sugars

drops substantially. Growth hormone acts to build up muscle and bone protein, with the help of insulin.

3) After around 4-5 hours after youve eaten, the growth hormone concentrations are still quite high in your

body, while most of the insulin has gone. At this stage, growth hormone is breaking down your bodys fat stores,

using it as a fuel to produce more energy.

If your levels of growth hormone stays at a lower level, the high levels of insulin in your body is free to turn your

calories into fat and store it in your body! This is when we begin to gain weight and get fatter.

So you can see the importance of a good balance between insulin and growth hormones in your body!

Youre probably wondering what you can do to keep this balance? The exercises in Grow Taller

4 Idiots will help you not only achieve this but also will help to increase your general health

and well being.

Conclusion

A successful effort to grow taller should be a combination of these three most important factors:

1. Nutritional foods.

15/15

2. Regular exercise.

3. Plenty of rest.

So you can see that its absolutely critical to have a good balance of these three factors to achieve a positive

result in your grow taller efforts!

Either one of these not receiving enough of your attention will lead to a failure in all three! You need to treat

them all with the same importance and youll begin to see the results quicker than you expect.

This is the main reason why so many people become so frustrated with the lack of results from their efforts in

trying to grow taller.

Most people tend to forget that the growth process in the human body is a complicated sequence of processes

and requires that every element is in place for it to work successfully.

There are also other factors that contribute to your success in your attempts to grow taller, like your posture,

but the above three factors are the most important ones that you must get right in order to see positive results.

One of the best places to find a detailed explanation of the

exercises and techniques we all can use to grow taller is a new ebook called Grow Taller 4 Idiots.

The extremely useful Grow Taller 4 Idiots exercise program is designed specifically to help you increase your

height starting today by assisting you in stimulating overall growth and also helping you to lengthen your spinal

column too.
