Nutrition For Growing Taller V - Fats

Another common diet that will stunt height growth is one that includes too much fat. There are two kinds of fats: saturated fats and unsaturated fats.

Saturated fats are mostly bad since they have high contents of cholesterol, which can cause heart disease because arteries could be clogged with fatty material. Also, saturated fats contain large amount of calories, which can easily increase your weight. Extra weight is the enemy of height since the more weight you have, the shorter you appear. So avoid eating excessive saturated fats. Animal meat like chicken, pork, beef are rich in saturated fats. So you should avoid eating them too much.

Unsaturated fats are much better since they contain much lower amount of cholesterol and calories. Since you do need some fats to insulate your body and regulate your metabolism, you had better ingest more unsaturated fats to satisfy your body's needs.

Vegetable oils contains large amount of unsaturated fats. Commonly used unsaturated vegetable oils are corn, soy, cottonseed, and safflower oils. Note that raw milk and butter contains lots of saturated fats, so you should drink skim milk and cook with vegetable oils instead of butter. Sweet foods like cookie, cake, ice cream also have very high contents of saturated fats and calories and you should restrict yourself from eating them too much.

Eating foods that are low in fat will allow the body to continue releasing growth hormone. Fats should not constitute more than 30% of your daily diet.
