Question

Accepted Answer

I focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutritious foods. I make sure to incorporate whole grains, beans, green leafy vegetables like spinach, carrots, turnips, plenty of dairy products for calcium, eggs, and bananas. These foods are essential for providing the nutrients needed for growth . I also emphasize the importance of a consistent sleep schedule. It's crucial because growth hormone is primarily released during sleep. Ensuring that my child gets enough rest every night is a priority.

Daily physical activity is another key aspect. I encourage my child to engage in outdoor play or sports every day. This not only helps with physical growth by exercising the muscles but also ensures that he gets plenty of vitamin D from sunlight, which is vital for healthy bone development.

For weight gain, alongside maintaining a healthy diet for height, I include energy-dense foods like potatoes, more bananas, additional dairy products, chicken, and dry fruits in his meals. These help in adding healthy calories to his diet.
