很多人都在為個子矮發愁，甚至不惜冒很大危險去做增高手術。其實日常生活中就有很多促進生長得好辦法，特別是在飲食方面。那么吃什么食物能讓身體長高呢？
If you could ever wish to grow taller but you don't want to rely on supplements and pills then you've come to the right place. Here we will talk about eating, sleeping and exercising right to promote growth hormones that will help you grow taller naturally.
1. Get The Right Diet.
In order to grow taller naturally, your body need proteins, vitamins and minerals more readily than carbohydrates and fats. The best kinds of foods for complete proteins (those that contain the most appropriate distribution of amino acids for growth hormones) are fish, eggs, milk, and legumes. These foods contain most of the 20 amino acids（氨基酸）, including the 8 essential amino acids that are not synthesized by your body. Therefore, replace rice, bread, and hamburger with fish, eggs, and skim milk（脫脂奶）.
2. Sleep Well
Sleep is the condition that your mind entrusts to repair, remove, and replenish your body. It also regulates your body's ability to grow naturally. Therefore, it makes sense to put yourself in an ideal sleeping environment so that you can reap from its growth enhancing rewards. You may be surprised to know that we are taller in the morning than we are at night. By virtue of the law of gravity, our bodies in the standing position, are attracted toward the ground. By the end of the day, the disks in the spine are compressed by the weight of the body. During the night, the spinal column is in a relaxed and spread out position.
3. Do the Right Exercises
Chin-ups & Pull-ups are just one of the many forms of stretching exercises that you can do to help you grow taller naturally. These exercises work the shoulders, as well as the back, arms, and obliques. You can experiment with any one of the exercises listed below, but only do one exercise type per day. They should be done every other day, or every 2 days, depending on your strength and experience. Doing these exercises as well as other forms of stretching such as yoga and pilates can also help you grow taller naturally.
