Super Amazing Foods that Increase Height in Adults

Height is something we all think is based on our DNA. But we all will be happy if we can have the desired height. 

 Internet is flooded with all types of food which claim to increase your height, but not all of them work. We need to carefully choose foods based on scientific facts. 

 So here are top foods which will aid in increasing your height.

Foods To Increase Height in Adults

1. Proteins 

Proteins are the building blocks of our body and thus they help to increase height by building various tissues. They contain amino acids which help in producing growth hormones and are essential for maintaining healthy bones, muscles, tissues, organs, skin, and teeth.
Here are some foods you can include in your diet which are full of proteins:

 1. Lean meat, poultry, eggs, and Fish.

 2. Dairy products like milk yoghurt & cheese.

 3. Beans and legumes such as Lentils and chickpeas.

 4. Soya beans and soy products such as Tofu and soy milk.

 5. Seeds and nuts.


2. Minerals

Foods containing minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, fluoride, iodine, iron and manganese also play an important role in increasing height and maintaining bone health. 
Here are some mineral-rich food:

1. Dark Chocolate and Cocoa Powder

2. Avocados & Mushrooms 

3. Whole Grains

4. Dark Leafy Greens

5. Kinds of seafood such as Fish, seaweeds, shellfish.


3. Vitamins

Vitamin D is vital for the development of healthy and strong bones. Its deficiency can result in slow growth, weak bones and short stature. Also, it is required by the body to absorb calcium. 

Apart from vitamin D, other vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 or riboflavin, vitamin C or ascorbic acid and vitamin F are also required for normal growth of bones. 

 These are mostly contained in fruits and vegetables. Here are some examples:

Vegetables: Spinach, Okra, Kale, Soya beans, White beans.

Fatty fish such as Tuna, Mackerel & Salmon.

Beef, Liver, Egg yolk and cheese.

4. Coral Calcium

As the name suggests, coral calcium is obtained from selected sea corals. It increases bone mass, thus it helps the bones to grow in length. 

 This calcium should be taken at an early age to achieve the maximum results. Many coral calcium supplements are available in the market.

5. Starches and Grains

Starches and grains are the main sources of energy in our body. Also, they provide fibre, iron, vitamin B & magnesium. 

 Since they provide the required calories, their consumption should be maximized, especially when children go through puberty phase. We should include the following in our diets:

1. Whole wheat bread.

2. Popcorns.

3. Potatoes & sweet potatoes

4. Lotus Seeds

5. Rice, Oats & quinoa.




Some believe only DNA can decide the height of an individual, but it is recently proven that these foods can help you attain your desired height. Remember to work for it as nothing comes for free!
