A. To help increase height naturally for your 10-year-8-month-old child, focus on these key areas: 1️⃣ Nutrition for Growth A well-balanced diet is essential for height gain. Ensure they get: ✅ Protein: Eggs, chicken, fish, dairy, tofu, paneer, dal ✅ Calcium & Vitamin D: Milk, yogurt, cheese, ragi, almonds, sunlight exposure ✅ Zinc & Magnesium: Nuts, seeds, whole grains, spinach ✅ Iron & Vitamins (A, C, D, K): Green leafy vegetables, carrots, citrus fruits Encourage home-cooked meals over junk food, as processed foods can hinder growth. 2️⃣ Proper Sleep 💤 Growth hormone is released during deep sleep. Ensure: ✔ 9-11 hours of sleep per night ✔ A dark, cool room for better sleep quality ✔ No screen time at least 1 hour before bedtime 3️⃣ Exercise & Stretching Physical activity helps stimulate growth hormones. Ideal exercises: 🏀 Sports: Basketball, swimming, skipping, cycling 🧘‍♀️ Stretching: Cobra stretch, hanging from a bar, forward bending 🏃‍♂️ Running & Jumping: Helps improve leg bone growth 4️⃣ Correct Posture Poor posture can make a child appear shorter. Encourage: ✔ Sitting and standing upright ✔ Avoiding slouching while studying or using gadgets 5️⃣ Avoid Growth Inhibitors 🚫 Junk food, excessive sugar, aerated drinks 🚫 Late-night sleeping habits 🚫 Lack of physical activity 6️⃣ Medical Check-up (if necessary) If your child’s growth seems much slower than peers or height percentile is low, consult a pediatrician for a growth assessment. They may check for: Growth hormone levels Nutrient deficiencies Most children grow naturally until 18 years, so consistent efforts with nutrition, exercise, and sleep will help maximize height potential.
