1 Answer

A. A diet based on nutritious foods can ensure that the babies will grow up to the height that their genes might dictate.
Every person is born with genes that will help dictate how tall they become.
However, other factors such as inadequate nutrition or medical conditions may certainly alter this.
During their growing years, children need the essential nutrients that help their connective tissues, bones, muscles, grow healthy.
Several factors are responsible to determine a child's growth trajectory.
Some certain foods that need to be a part of baby's diet are dairy products, nuts, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken and fish rich in omega 3 if you eat neg veg, oatmeal and fresh leafy green vegetables. These provide all necessary nutrition to keep the body healthy in every manner.

One egg has only 75 calories but 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids.
