Learn How To Grow Taller Naturally And Safely - Health

There are lots of offers out on the internet today that talk about how to grow taller naturally. My advice: be careful, and take outlandish claims with a grain of salt. In the get taller area, like just about everything else, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. That said, are there really ways to get taller? The answer is yes- but they do not involve dangerous drugs, risky surgery or potentially injurious exercises.

If you are young and still growing, you can make a difference with the right type of physical activity. You want to stimulate your bones to grow and lengthen by regularly participating in exercises such as running, jumping and walking. These activities stimulate the bones to get stronger, and longer. You can make a positive difference here; but only while you are still growing. Once you have reached your adult proportions, your bones will no longer grow or lengthen.

Eat right while you are doing your exercise regimen. Eat foods rich in calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and vitamin K. These foods will stimulate bone growth if you are young, and help keep your bones healthy if you are older. Without the proper nutrition, you won't reach your maximum potential height. Don't sell yourself 'short'; eat a healthy diet rich in bone-building foods!

Nothing you can do will increase your height more then practicing good posture. Proper neck, back and hip posture can add 1-2 inches to your height - instantly! Practice standing erect with your shoulders back and your head held high. You won't just look taller, you'll be taller - and more confident.

Finally, wear clothing that will enhance your appearance and make you seem taller. Wear slimming and lengthening pinstripes, cut your hair short and keep it off the neck. This enhances your neckline and gives you a taller profile. Don't wear flat shoes - a moderate heeled shoe or sandal is best.

You can't change what nature created - but you can make the most of it. Practice these tips and you'll walk, talk and act taller overnight. Don't fall for scams that make crazy promises.
