1. Nutrition for Growth & Health
✅ Protein-Rich Diet: Include eggs, paneer, dals, chicken, fish, and nuts.
✅ Calcium & Vitamin D: Milk, curd, cheese, green leafy vegetables, ragi, and sunlight exposure.
✅ Iron-Rich Foods: Spinach, beetroot, dates, jaggery, and nuts to prevent deficiencies.
✅ Fruits & Vegetables: Ensure they get enough vitamins and minerals for overall growth.
✅ Avoid Junk Food: Processed and sugary foods can hinder growth and overall health.
2. Physical Activities to Boost Height & Strength
✅ Stretching & Yoga: Surya Namaskar, Tadasana, and other height-increasing exercises.
✅ Sports: Skipping, cycling, swimming, and basketball are great for height.
✅ Proper Sleep: At least 9–10 hours of sleep is essential for growth hormone release.
3. Medical Checkups If their height seems slower compared to peers, check with a pediatrician for growth chart assessment. Get a Vitamin D, Calcium, and Iron test if they seem weak or have growth concerns.
Let me know if you have any specific concerns about their health or height!
