HOW KIDS CAN GROW DESPITE THEIR GENETICS
Your kids can grow above your (parents) genes if the right things are done at the right times. A kid's maximum height is dependent on the height of the parents, daily activity and nutrients available. It is the heart-kick of every parent that their kids do better than them even in height. To ensure that your kids reaches and maintains a healthy height and weight, you must teach certain routinal habits. These habits will require the cooperation of both child and parents.
Always Put Your Child to Bed Early:
Children are to get night rest of about 10 - 12 hours per night. If possible, they should go to bed and wake up at particular times everyday, that is, they sleep at 08:00pm GMT and wake up at 05:00am GMT, it should be a routine. This will enable the body enough time to produce growth hormones.
Proper Nutritional Intake:
Children fed with high protein foods such as fish, milk, eggs, chicken, show significant growth compared to protein malnourished children. Other foods that can help kids grow to their maximum height are carbs, in whole grains, minerals like calcium, iron, vitamins in fruits (vitamins A and D), and water.
Physical Activities:
Physical activities such as swimming, walking, running, skipping, biking, encourages movements which will keep the child growing at a constant and healthy rate. Children should be discouraged from constantly sitting at a place and watching screens (televisions and video games).
Good Posture:
A child should be taught good and proper posture. Good posture involves training the body to sit, stand, walk, and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement. Good posture prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions and also contributes to good appearance and proper growth.
