Growing taller is often considered an indication of being strong and healthy. While children participate in sports and gym classes at school, it’s often food that they neglect. Some kids are picky eaters, while some parents tend to leave certain foods that can contribute to their child’s exponential growth. Let us take you through 5 common foods that can aid your child’s height and help them grow to their fullest:

1. Eggs

Protein is the building block of a child’s physical growth and eggs are full of protein. Rather than giving just milk and cereal or bread-jam in the breakfast, make a hearty omelet for your child with a multigrain toast and a glass of milk to give him/her a healthy dose of proteins, complex carbs and calcium. Your child will also stay full and focused on studies.

2. Yogurt

Make yogurt or curd a part of your child’s lunch. The probiotics keep your child’s gut healthy and that is where whole health starts. Yogurt is rich in both vitamin-D and calcium and therefore is essential for strong bones and great height.

3. Milk

Milk is an essential part of your child’s diet. Ensure s/he gets at least two glasses of milk every day to make certain the required calcium, vitamin-D and protein intake. Fortify the glass of milk with almonds and saffron for more nutrition and natural antibiotics.

4. Soy

Soy is rich in plant based protein and aids muscle growth in young kids. If your child is lactose intolerant and unable to digest dairy milk, then opt for soy milk to replenish vitamin-D, calcium and protein in his or her diet. Also opt for soybean and other soy products to create yummy recipes for your children.

5. Fruits

Fresh and seasonal fruits are full with vitamins and minerals that are required for synthesis of protein in the body. Give your children at least 2-3 fruits every day. They will get continuous supply of multivitamins in the most natural way, and will stay full and avoid processed foods that hamper their growth.
