Is height influenced by any particular nutrients and exercise or is it mainly hereditary?

Niksik, milk with vitamins in it, helps. that is what i've heard so many aunts and my own Mom say. it should be drank regularly. & kids should be athletic, engage in stretching running exercises.

There is no doubt about the importance of nutritious and balanced diet for kids . Researchers say that height is a hereditary trait. Contrary to what researchers say I have noticed that desi kids who are being born and raised in US are taller and more muscular than their desi cousins who are born and are being raised in desh.
Anybody disagrees with me ?

Yeah, full milk has vitamin D, but any other vitamins? A multivitamin?

I would say you are right, but these days, desi kids coming from middle class and up families are getting healthy as well due to increase awareness, better nutrition and physical activity.

I read that it is 70% genes...the rest is nutrition and environment...environment meaning playing sports, is child undergoing any kind of abuse etc.

Re: Increasing height in kids

Re: Increasing height in kids

I've heard that exercise helps one tiny bit...stretching exercise, that is

Re: Increasing height in kids

No I live in the US. Tap water is very contaminated in many cities. We use a filter.

15

Re: Increasing height in kids

filter replacements are so expensive :( and bottled water is worse

i think some companies even put a small amount of sodium (salt) in the bottled water to make you thirsty. that way you drink more and buy more

:smack:

My choti is tall but the older one is at the mid level of her percentile chart. She’s OK and she’ll probably be as tall as me, which isn’t very tall but average for a desi :hmmm:. I just thought I’d get tips even though her ped said apples don’t fall far from their tree!

Re: Increasing height in kids

Oh dear me, worried about the poor kid's height from now.

Let her be, its all genetic, she'll be as tall as it says in her genes despite whatever you make her eat.
