To be tall and attractive is every person's wish. You can still pull out a few inches of height from your long bones with some dedicated effort. Here are some tips to grow taller naturally without harmful side effects.

Exercises

A minimum of 10 minutes intense exercise increases adrenalin, lactate, nerve acidity and nitric oxide. This stimulates the production of the growth hormone not only during the exercise period but also during rest periods. Since dehydration reduces the growth hormone production drinking enough water during exercise is important.

Exercise equipment that can aid proper performance of spine and knee exercises for height increase are the door gym, inversion boots and table, ankle weights, weightlifting wrist wraps and the stationary bike. Knee exercises are great to induce growth in people who have crossed the age of vertical growth. Stretching exercises, hanging and sprints are by far the most efficient ways to grow taller naturally.

Proper diet

Carbohydrates and fats deactivate the growth hormones and should be avoided. Fatty foods like burgers and chips lead to obesity and make a person look shorter. Soft drinks, alcohol, junk foods and caffeine hinder growth and should be left out from the diet. Sugar drinks with high phosphorous content can cause calcium excretion through urine and must be avoided.

Adequate sleep

The growth hormone release by the pituitary gland reaches its peak one hour after you sleep at night. Sound sleep for 8-9 hours a day is hence vital for augmenting height. A comfortable mattress and a dark warm room help to induce deep sleep.

Health supplements to induce growth

Calcium supplements make bones dense and thick. Vitamin C and Vitamin D supplements help the body absorb this calcium. They play a crucial role in bone growth. They also promote absorption of phosphates and manganese required for bone development. Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements help build up cartilage and bones and increase height. The supplements if taken in liquid form allow quicker absorption. Alternatively you can drink them with water after a meal.

These steps combined with a good posture can go a long way at making you appear and grow taller naturally.
