Although there is certainly some luck involved in the amount of height a person will achieve in their lifetime, there are still some things we can do if we really want to grow taller. The genes we inherit from our parents are something we cannot change, but we can incorporate height-increasing habits into our lives that will ensure that we grow as tall as these genes allow us to be. In this article, we take a look at some of the most useful clothes.

Many people ask “how can I be taller?” and immediately hope that there is a miracle medicine that can be bought at the pharmacy that will make them grow several inches overnight. Unfortunately, this drug doesn’t exist, and when we see teenagers seem to grow overnight, it’s actually quite natural for people their age to experience these growth spurts. Whether you’re still a teenager wanting to gain inches faster, or someone past your teens who wants to maximize whatever height you can still squeeze out of your physique, there are a few things you should incorporate into your lifestyle that will They will help you achieve exactly that.

Adequate sleep should be the easiest height-increasing habit you can get. The release of human growth hormones (HGH) from our pituitary glands occurs primarily during sleep, so try to get at least eight hours of sleep each night. Partying until the wee hours of the morning isn’t bad, but it should only happen occasionally. Speaking of parties, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking also inhibit calcium absorption and growth and therefore should be avoided.

Regarding diet, another thing to keep in mind in your new height-conscious lifestyle is that excessive fat intake can affect your ability to gain height. Although a healthy diet should include some fat, those of us in today’s society already eat much more than we need, so cutting back is a good idea. What you should be getting in abundance are protein and calcium. Beans and legumes, nuts, soybeans, and soy products are good sources of protein, while milk is rich in calcium and should be considered a primary height enhancer.

Regular exercise, such as lifting weights and brisk walking, running, bicycling, and the like, are also important for overall good health and, yes, growth. Check with a doctor first before embarking on any exercise program, just to be safe. Somewhat more height specific are the stretches, especially those that target the spine and legs.

Finally, there is a height enhancement technique that is instant, natural, and will work on almost everyone. This secret is to take care of your posture. Standing or sitting, try to keep your back straight and your chin up. You may find that this will only add up to 2 inches or more to your height.
