How to increase height of my child?

All children are told to drink milk. Why? Milk has Calcium. Does this help in making stronger bones? Gain height? Have strong teeth? Calcium is an important mineral for growth & development of kids.

However, the fact is that most children still do not get the required dose of calcium in their diets leading to a variety of problems.

Here are some reasons why children need calcium:

BONE HEALTH: Around 99% of the calcium is in bones & teeth. Calcium not only is essential for the development, growth of bones but maintenance of their strength. Kids with calcium deficiency are 70% more prone to developing weak bones and fractures.

GUT & INTESTINE HEALTH: Low levels of calcium in the body affects the intestinal health and leads to poor absorption of other essential nutrients. This can often lead to Celiac disease or wheat allergy in teens and kids.

BRAIN HEALTH : Did you know about role of calcium in brain development? There is an increase in incidence of anxiety, nervousness or headache spells seen by doctors in their clinics. These are mostly related to Calcium deficiency

How does know one’s child has Calcium deficiency? Following are a few signs that show a child might be calcium deficient:

  •  Muscle cramps
  • Frequent problems while falling asleep
  • Delay in tooth formation
  • Weak nails with brittle edges

 

Some Calcium rich foods are as follows:

  • Yogurt, milk
  • Tofu
  • Green leafy vegetables
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Fortified cereals

 To summarise Calcium is not only essential for building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It also helps in intestinal function and most importantly brain development. Calcium can be obtained from a well-balanced diet. Unfortunately, the increased intake of junk food has lead to calcium deficiency. So, to ensure proper growth and development, giving regular Calcium & Vitamin D supplement is recommended by doctors.
