The height of the human body is mainly decided by the growth of the human long bones, especially the thigh bones of the huckle and shin bones and splinter bones of the shank. The growth of long bones must depend on the production of organic substances and the accumulation of bony salt inside the human body. The main composition of organic substances is protein, and the main compositions of bony salt are calcium, phosphorus and some inorganic elements like potassium, magnesium and sodium. Therefore, in order to help children grow tall, parents should provide the foods containing abundant protein, calcium and phosphorus for children so as to create good substantial conditions for them. There are some suitable recipes which can improve the height for children. 

The first recipe is about the porridge made of egg yolks and rice. At first, parents should cook the rice porridge, and then boil a fresh egg. Parents should crush the egg yolk into powder and add it into the rice porridge. Children can drink the porridge one or two times a day. Egg yolks contain abundant lecithin, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A and many kinds of fat. In addition, the taste of egg yolks is also rather nice. Therefore, it is very suitable for children to drink this kind of porridge.

The second recipe is about the soup made of chicken liver, pork ribs and milk vetch. Parents should first prepare 50 grams of chicken liver, 50 grams of pork ribs, 30 grams of milk vetch and 3 grams of the fruit of Chinese magnoliavine. First, parents should cut chicken liver into pieces and also break pork ribs into pieces. Then, they can boil the pieces of pork ribs, milk vetch and the fruit of Chinese magnoliavine together in the earthen pot. After the soup is boiled well, the dregs of bones and drugs can be removed from the pot. At last, parents can put the pieces of chicken liver into the soup to boil. Chicken liver contains abundant protein, calcium, phosphorus and vitamins. Pork ribs also contain these trace elements. Milk vetch and the fruit of Chinese magnoliavine can accelerate the absorption of protein, calcium and phosphorus and improve the growth of the bones for children.

Except the two kinds of recipes mentioned above, many other recipes are also beneficial to the bone development of children and further improve the height for them. For example, the soup composed of spinach and pork ribs. The enzyme contained in spinach can improve the absorption of inorganic salt like magnesium, calcium and iron for children, which can accelerate the healthy development of the bones.
