Follow These Simple Tips To Help Your Kid Grow Taller!
They say that childhood is one of the best phases of a person's life. Those carefree days where there is nothing to worry about, playing with friends for hours, eating what you want, without worrying about the figure - sounds fun right?
Childhood is also a period in a person's life in which he gets pampered to no end by the elders.
The parents of a child make sure that he gets all the required nutrition for a healthy growth and development.
Normally, the physical growth of a child starts from the age of 2, where the child's bones and muscles start to get stronger and he starts to grow taller.
It is noted that, a child with a normal growth pattern usually grows about 2.5 inches taller every year.
A child usually stops growing taller, after he/she hits puberty. While boys can grow up to the age of 20, girls usually stop growing taller around the age of 14.
A person's height depends on a lot of factors such as heredity, hormones, nutrition, exercise, overall health, etc.
So, if you want your child to grow taller, there are a few tips that you can try right at home, check them out here!

4. Banana
Banana is a nutritious fruit that increases the height of a growing child naturally, as it comes packed with nutrients like manganese, potassium and calcium.
5. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is another natural ingredient that boosts the height of a person, as it is rich in proteins and also aids in the development of newly grown tissues at a faster rate.
6. Soybean
Soybean comes packed with nutrients, which are required for growth, such as folate, vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates that aid in bone and muscle development of a child, helping him/her to reach an optimum height.
7. Fish
Certain types of fishes like salmon, sardine, tuna, etc, are rich in vitamin D and calcium, both of which are very much essential for growth and bone development.
