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.
