lentils and kidney beans. The curd must be consumed
every day because it is abundant in protein,
and it has various other benefits. Include quinoa

and it is classified as a complete protein,
meaning it includes all nine types of amino acid,
which provide growth to your body. Don't
forget to drink a glass of milk daily.
Milk is a wholesome meal that is rich in protein
as well as essential nutrients, like calcium,
phosphorus and magnesium. A balanced
diet plays a critical role in our height

the adequate proportion of carbohydrates,
fats and essential vitamins and minerals to

natural curve and the spinal health. It compresses
the spine that the vertebrae are pushed closer
and have an impact on your height. That's why
keep straight, sit straight, stand straight remain
tall to see that your spine is erect all the time.
