On top of eating a balanced diet, children who do grow taller tend to consume more foods that are high in calcium and protein.
1. Eggs
Previous research conducted on Ecuadorian infants between the ages of 6 and 9 months found that children who consumed one egg on a daily basis had a 47% lower risk of becoming stunted in comparison to their peers who did not. Eggs are unrivaled when it comes to overcoming growth setbacks.
2. Soyabean curd (Awara)
The powerhouses of plant proteins found in nature are beans and other types of legumes. Your child’s height can be readily increased with the help of soybeans because of their high protein content.
3. Nuts
These protein-packed nuts, which include almonds, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, peanuts, and cashews, are perfect for snacking in between meals because they are crisp and require little preparation.
4. Fruits
Calcium and minerals do not have to come exclusively from dairy products; in fact, many fruits are also good suppliers of these nutrients.
5. Carrots
Carrots have a high content of beta carotene, which is a substance that the body converts into vitamin A.
This vegetable has a vitamin that is necessary for the synthesis of protein, as well as the minerals calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, all of which work together to assist your child in the formation of strong bones and the development of muscular tissue.
