Question
My child is twelve years old and always seems shorter than others. What should we eat to promote nutritious growth and height in children?
Answer
Under the premise of balanced nutrition, supplementing children with certain nutrients related to growth and development, such as minerals, milk, fish, nuts, animal organs, legumes, eggs, and vitamins, can help them grow taller. Milk is particularly beneficial due to its high calcium and protein content, which is good for bone growth and can promote the child’s height increase.
