@dhenu Hello, Genes have the most say in determining the height of the child however, it is not the only factor that influences it. Many external factors, like living conditions and a healthy diet, can influence the height of children quite a lot. Therefore, it is possible for parents to improve the chances of their children growing up to be tall and strong, through simple methods. Here are a few ways which will help you-
- A balanced diet- A balanced diet has to include proteins, carbohydrates, fat, and vitamins in the correct proportion – loading up on only one of these can have a detrimental effect. You must also ensure that the child keeps away from junk food most of the time – this includes food like burgers, aerated sweetened drinks, and fried items in general. Lean proteins have to be had aplenty, along with leafy vegetables and items rich in minerals like calcium and potassium. A balanced diet not only provides the right nutrients to increase your child’s height but will also make him stronger in every sense.
- Stretching exercise- Stretching helps elongate the spine and also improves the posture of your child at all times. The exercises can be simple ones.
- Hanging- Hanging from bars also helps the spine elongate, which is an important part of becoming taller.
- Physical activities like skipping, yoga poses, and swimming also increase height.
Thank You!
