Support The Height Growth Of Your Child With An Appropriate Diet

September 30, 2016 By Charles Michel Leave a Comment

There is nothing more rewarding in life than to watch your child grow up. Before you know it, your baby becomes a toddler, soon entering the world of adolescence, and finally blooming into adulthood. But how do you as a parent make sure that your child is growing well? 


Fortunately in today’s world, children appear to be much taller (and more brilliant!) than when parents were back in the days. There are external factors that play a major role in a child’s growth besides just genetics. For instance, being short in stature can be a result of slow growth from inadequate nutrition. Most of the time they will suffer from lack of confidence and inferiority complexes. Thus, parents should ensure of adequate nutrition for their child to reach their potential height and physical growth.

Following is some of the most nutrient-dense foods and calcium-rich supplements to help boost up your child’s height.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains a great source of plant protein in increasing muscle mass and reducing body fat. It acts as a great breakfast meal to fill them up while providing long-lasting energy. Plain oatmeal may taste bland to children, so it’s advisable to add a little flavour to it using healthy and delicious ingredients. Use fruits and honey to add in natural sweetness that will keep your child running for more oatmeal goodness.

Milk

Having dairy based foods in a child’s system need no introduction. Milk is known for its rich calcium content which promotes strong and healthy bones. Having sufficient amount of calcium and protein especially from milk is essential to the growth of your child. Those who suffer from lactose intolerance may obtain equal nutritional benefits of milk through the consumption of soy based formula .

Eggs

We all know how vital eggs are in our lives. Eggs are a low-calorie food packed with protein that can greatly influence both your child’s height and weight. Consumption of eggs help your child meet their daily vitamin A, D and E needs as well as iron, zinc and phosphorus minerals. An added benefit is that there are so many healthy ways to prepare your eggs as breakfast. Try a frittata florentine or a fluffy omelette to kick start your child’s day.

Fruits and Vegetables

Your child can maintain a healthy lifestyle while growing taller through sufficient amount of fruits of vegetables in their diet. It provides fibre, potassium and is a great source of vitamins that can contribute to the development of bones and tissues. Try adding Vitamin A-rich vegetables such as pumpkin, broccoli or spinach, and also citrusy fruits which provides them with Vitamin C. If your child is not in favour of green vegetables like many other children, you may opt to blend them into food which will hide away its tastes and textures.

Protein-packed Meat

Lean meat, poultry and fish are one of the highest sources of proteins among animals. These meats have less saturated fat which is good for the heart. These proteins from meat helps the body to build tissues and muscles during the process of a child’s growth. However, if your child does not eat meat, you may substitute it for other plant-based protein foods like tofu, beans and legumes.

Although the above are mostly solid foods, there are also children who are fussy eaters. Being a picky eater will lead to nutritional gaps, which results in hindering of their growth. Hence a child development supplement such as milk powder, is necessary for a significant increase in health and height growth.

A child’s height may be a genetic factor, but proper nutrition also has a significant influence. What other food do you feed your child with to promote his or her height growth? Share with us in the comments below.
