Did you know that according to medical data, about 3% of children have a delay in physiological growth and development. If you miss this moment, then there may be dwarfism in the baby, disruption of the musculoskeletal system, increased risk of injury.
Nutrition for the full growth of children under 13 years old plays a key role, because their organisms require more vitamins, antioxidants and minerals for their development. Also, the diet must necessarily have products that contribute to the production of growth hormone by the endocrine glands.
We offer you 10 important products that will help restore the full growth of the child and eliminate a number of metabolic problems.
10. Oatmeal
It is no secret that this useful cereal made from “extra” grains (only non-flakes and not instant options) has a unique amount of dietary fiber. This helps to cleanse the digestive tract from toxins and toxins, a more thorough absorption of beneficial components, which are also not few in Hercules. Your child’s health will be protected by fluoride, magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron, chromium, iodine, as well as a number of vitamins of various groups (K, A, E, B). All of them have a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system, contribute to the development of bone and muscle tissue. To enhance the beneficial properties of oatmeal, we recommend adding nonfat homemade milk (cow), as well as fresh berries, nuts (walnuts), bananas and dried fruits.
9. Beef
Even if you stick to vegetarianism or fasting in your family, remember that low-fat red meat is very important for a child with a growth disability. It contains an excess of B vitamins, proteins, iron and zinc. Proteins are the main "building" component for the formation of the muscular corset and skeleton. Of course, you can replace it with vegetable proteins (soy, tofu, coconut milk, beans, lentils, etc.), only the "dosage" of such food will have to be significantly increased, and a small person just can’t physically eat so much. We recommend choosing veal and serving it in boiled, stewed or steam form in order to preserve valuable proteins as much as possible. Eating beef twice a week is enough.
8. Milk
Drinks and milk products contain a huge amount of calcium, which is responsible for the growth and strength of bones, muscle development, joint functioning. At the same time, be aware that fresh domestic milk of large animals (cow) will concentrate more substances for enhanced growth. Before giving the child raw milk, you must know exactly what the animal eats, as the drink may be bitter and discourage it for a long time. Milk production should also take place under hygienically acceptable conditions in order to avoid infection with salmonella or parasites. It is advisable to solder home-made milk of children of younger age group with home milk, since it can theoretically harm a lot of teenagers (increase the risk of hip fracture).
7. Bananas
Few babies will refuse a sweet tropical fruit, so the "treatment" will be followed with pleasure. Bananas contain slow carbohydrates, which provide intensive physical development and growth with the necessary energy. Also, the exotic fruit contains magnesium, fluorine, calcium, iron and potassium - components that are extremely important for proper blood flow and blood structure, the formation of muscle and bone tissue. In addition, a banana has a positive effect on brain activity, improving the concentration of the baby, his memory and attention, cognitive activity.
6. Chicken eggs
The child’s body easily processes bad cholesterol, therefore, if there is no allergy and other contraindications, you can and should give chicken eggs regularly. They contain valuable B and D vitamins (the latter provides the growth and development of the body, prevents rickets, and helps to absorb calcium). Eggs are also rich in sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for the development of the musculoskeletal system. Despite the fact that raw eggs contain the most vitamins, we advise you to give them boiled, which will prevent infection with E. coli and parasites.
5. Curd
In addition to milk, the baby needs to be given home-made cottage cheese, since the body perfectly absorbs milk proteins. Enzymes and microelements in the composition of cottage cheese improve metabolic processes, and calcium and phosphorus strengthen the child’s bone tissue, his teeth and muscles. The rare amino acids in the fermented milk product positively affect the digestion and absorption of other important components, and also strengthen the central nervous system, which is important for the formation of healthy bonds between nerve endings, joints, muscles and other parts of the musculoskeletal system.
4. Beans
As we mentioned above, plant-based proteins are almost as effective for nutritional deficiencies as animals. In excess they are found in chickpeas, peas, mung beans, lentils, beans and beans. You don’t have to force the child to eat these products, because they are tasty enough, especially if you cook them in sour cream or tomato sauce. It is also effective to make delicious mashed soups and cream soups with the addition of cream rich in calcium, walnuts and herbs.
3. Leafy greens
As an additive to soups and salads, be sure to use leafy greens that contain vitamin C, valuable esters, tannins, chlorophylls, minerals and volatile. The rare composition has a positive effect on metabolism, strengthens bone and muscle tissue, and promotes the production of growth hormone. Vegetable smoothies made from leafy greens (spinach, fresh celery, parsley, cilantro, basil, etc.) are very useful for the baby. A little whim can be persuaded to eat pizza, generously flavored with freshly cut greens.
2. Walnuts
These nuts are a storehouse of omega fatty acids that positively affect the brain, peripheral and central nervous systems. But it is they who are responsible for the signals sent to the main glands to produce growth hormone. Nuts also contain phosphorus, vegetable proteins, calcium and vitamins for full development. We recommend adding nuts to any desserts, homemade cottage cheese and yogurt, vegetable salads, oatmeal and other cereals.
1. Berries
Who would have known that wild berries contain rare nutrients that provide muscles with energy and accelerate metabolism. They also contain other components that positively affect muscle tone, elasticity and density of ligaments and joints, bone hardness. Berries are also natural antioxidants that prevent the development of pathogenic processes in cells, cleanse them and promote healthy intracellular nutrition. Once again, prepare for children a berry dessert, smoothie or jelly, avoiding the almost useless confectionery and baking.
Making a healthy diet from these simple products is not at all difficult. Thus, you avoid the need to use chemicals to treat a baby’s growth deficit.
