Nutritionist Nguyen Thi Lam, former Deputy Director of the National Institute of Nutrition, said that adding seafood, specifically shrimp, to the diet is very important in increasing children's height because of the nutritional benefits that shrimp brings.

Shrimp is one of the seafoods rich in calcium, providing about 30% of daily calcium needs in a moderate serving. This is an important factor to help bones develop and improve height.
