No matter whether adults or children, drinking milk is beneficial. Adults can strengthen their bodies and babies can grow taller by drinking milk. But when and how does milk become effective? Are there any precautions for babies drinking milk? Moms might as well study it carefully.
What milk is best for babies?
1. Fresh Milk vs. Processed Milk
There are many processed dairy products on the market, which are not suitable for supplementing the baby's body nutrition, except for yogurt. Although yogurt and fresh milk contain the same nutrients, yogurt is easier for the body to absorb. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can promote the growth of beneficial cells in the intestines, reduce the number of harmful bacteria, and balance the bacterial population in the intestines. It enhances digestion and appetite.
2. Skimmed Milk vs. Full-Fat Milk
The fat content of full-fat milk, semi-skimmed milk, and skimmed milk is 30%, 15%, and 0.5% respectively. So many people who don't want fat will choose skimmed milk. Milk contains rich trace elements and vitamins, and these elements are hidden in the milk fat. Removing the milk fat is equivalent to removing various elements in the milk, which is not beneficial for the child's growth and development. Full-fat milk can help parents control the baby's fat intake. Full-fat milk can help prevent cancer, mainly because it contains CLA.
3. Soy Milk vs. Milk
Soy milk and milk have similar nutritional values, and both are rich in nutrients. However, milk has higher nutritional value because it contains amino acids and calcium needed by the human body, and long-term consumption is more conducive to the baby's height growth and physical development. Babies who are allergic to milk can choose soy milk, but they should also supplement with other foods rich in nutrients, such as egg yolk, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
Drink milk one hour before bedtime
Drinking milk one hour before bedtime can promote height growth. The body's absorption capacity is stronger at night. For milk, which contains abundant nutrients, the body can absorb and digest it to the maximum extent, thereby playing a positive role in the body. Coupled with the role of promoting bone development in milk, drinking milk appropriately can accelerate height growth.
In daily life, many people often like to drink milk in the morning, but they do not realize that drinking milk in the morning can easily lead to the loss of nutrients and cannot absorb the nutrients in the milk well, which will not achieve a good effect of height growth. This is mainly because the body is often in a fasting state in the morning, and drinking milk at this time will often be excreted from the body along with other substances and not absorbed.
Drinking a cup of warm milk before bedtime can not only promote height growth but also improve insomnia symptoms, improve sleep quality, and improve work and learning efficiency the next day, which is beneficial for the healthy development of the body. Especially for teenagers who are in a critical period of bone development, they should seize the opportunity to drink milk appropriately to achieve the goal of height growth.
However, although milk can play a good role in height growth, it is also important to drink in moderation. Otherwise, its rich protein and calcium elements will burden the stomach and cause gastrointestinal discomfort, reduce the intake of other foods, and lead to insufficient absorption of nutrients, which will have a negative effect on height growth.
Methods to help babies grow taller
1. Supplement protein. Protein is indispensable in everyone's body. Protein is the basis of life. The growth of bone cells and the development of muscles and organs cannot be separated from protein. The faster the body grows and develops, the more protein needs to be supplemented. Fish, shrimp, lean meat, poultry eggs, peanuts, and soy products are all rich in high-quality protein and should be consumed more. In addition, from May to October, teenagers should eat more eggs because eggs contain essential nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and inorganic salts, which are easy to be digested and absorbed by the body.
2. Vitamins and fiber are also extremely important for the development of the body and bones. Vitamins are essential for maintaining life, and the most important ones are vitamins A, B, and C, which are indispensable for the growth and development of the body. Animal liver, kidneys, eggs, and especially vegetables contain a variety of vitamins, fiber, and minerals, and should be eaten more.
