Growing Tall Tips and video

Having always been the small guy, I know how difficult it can make one's life. Always having to look up at people when talking, it used to make me feel so uncomfortable when having conversations. After years of struggling to accept my height at a messily five foot six inches, I decided it was time to take action could I learn how to get tall? It was the summer of 08 when I embarked on my journey to get tall. I started with little hope not knowing if it was possible to increase my height, I wanted to stay away for pills & medications right from the start as 99% of them do not work.

After a few weeks of looking round the web and reading hundreds of web pages, I came to the conclusion the best way to get taller would be to use stretching exercises and proper nutrition. I know it sounds strange ''stretching exercises'' but many people have gained inches in height just by implementing a few simple techniques. My main problem was my posture, like many people who work at desks or are sat in chairs for long periods of time. My back was always slumped, I would never sit or stand up straight this made me appear even smaller. I gained 1'' in height just from correcting my posture, and you can to.

As I slowly started to implement all the stretching exercises I had studied, Week By week I was gaining height. Each week I would measure my height and each time it gave me more of an incentive to carry on, because I was seeing results. The nutrition side of things are simple don't eat Junk it is poison , when we are full of it our bodies cannot function the way they should do, As long as you eat well and get plenty of fruit and Vegetables' you are doing Right.

By the end of the summer I had gained almost three inches in height at 22 years old, it can be done and here are my top tips.

1# Posture

Using correct posture can be an instant way to increase your height, Make sure you sit up straight with your shoulders back. It can be quite hard to implement at first, if you have been used to slouching . Try to remind yourself every time you find yourself slouching, It can and will work wonders for you.

2# sleep

When sleeping at night always try to sleep on your back, this keeps your spine straight and works wonders for your posture. If you want to improve it even more Try to find a good pillow, wrong pillows bend your neck into an unnatural position as you sleep and over time can even cause cervical disc protrusion!

3# Cycling

Cycling is a fantastic way to lengthen your legs, All you have to do is raise the bicycle seat three to four inches higher than normal. It may be difficult at first, riding your bike in this manner but you soon adapt to it. I would suggest only doing this exercise for twenty 20 minutes at a time, to avoid unnecessary strain.

4# Swimming

Swimming is an excellent growth stimulating activity, When done in the right way . A few lengths up and down your local pool each week, using the breast stroke technique can dramatically improve your height. The breast stroke utilities your full body length meaning every time you complete a stroke your body is at its maximum length.

5# Attitude

As I said before I started off with little hope, But as soon as I saw results the fire was lit. It had hit me I can grow taller and will gain height, I stuck at it and it paid off. The best piece of advice I can give you is don't expect anything to happen overnight, it takes time and commitment, but is very achievable.

I wish you the best of luck

How To Grow Taller

Many of you out there may have wished you could add an inch or two to your length, that's just natural. Now we're not saying that short people are worse off than tall people, because that would just get us in trouble, but there's nothing wrong in wanting to add to that below-average height. There are no guaranteed ways to do this, but there are several sensible - and a few idiotic - methods to try and grow taller. Here are the best. And probably the worst...

Step 1:: STUPID - Home-Made Rack; Make a rack using your bed, a few ropes and some form of winch. Then get someone to stretch you like they did in medieval prisons. This is of course a ridiculous idea and could result in some fairly serious problems…
Step 2:: CLEVER - Nutrition; There are 6 important nutrients needed for growth and good health. Maintaining a healthy, well balanced diet that includes the right mix of Vitamins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Minerals, Proteins and Water is a great way to naturally increase the body's growth.
Step 3:: STUPID - Act Like A Giraffe; Giraffes are pretty tall, so why not mimic our biological cousins? Put your meals in trees and add height by forcing yourself to reach higher and higher. This is in no way a completely stupid thing to do…
Step 4:: CLEVER - Improve Your Posture; Many people rob themselves of extra inches simply by having poor posture. Make sure you stand straight and erect. Carry your head high with your chin up and don't allow your shoulders to droop forward. Be careful not to develop a rigid, overly stiff posture and instead attempt to maintain it properly in a relaxed and comfortable manner; - you may be surprised by how tall you actually were in the first place!
Step 5:: STUPID - Make Your Own Stilts; Not only is this cheating, but it will also make you look ridiculous and will more often that not leave you on your arse. Those people that wear them in the circus aren't actually that tall, and you should laugh at yourself for even considering it…
Step 6:: CLEVER - Sleep Properly; The bat idea is rubbish, but good sleeping habits can help with growth. Make sure you get proper rest (about 8 hours a night), make sure your mattress is firm and supports the body and most importantly stop using a pillow. A pillow pushes your head forward and arches the back, so without one your body can rest as straight as possible. Sleep on your back with your torso straight and fully extended and this could well help you discover some extra inches...
Step 7:: STUPID - Break Your Legs; There is an ancient practice involving the breaking off leg bones and placing them in traction that it said add length to your legs. Whether or not this is true is redundant, as either way it's gonna really really hurt and end up with you having stupid looking legs...
Step 8:: CLEVER - Stretch And Exercise; Regular stretching and exercise can also help add some all important inches. Stretch your arms and legs as far as they will go, and work on stretching your neck muscles. Any recreational exercise will help as it helps maintain a healthy, fit body, giving it every chance of developing more than a that of a lazy couch potato...; In the end, there are easier ways to improve your self-esteem and you really shouldn't worry about your height, but you can still take note of our clever, serious suggestions to help you grow. And feel free to disregard the silly ones. They shouldn't really be there anyway…good luck getting bigger!
