in Height
Several people who are short in stature are constantly looking for answers on how to increase height naturally. This is because there is a lot of importance given to being tall, which is why people who are below the average feel like they are at a disadvantage. There are several commercial products, supplements and medicines that claim to be able to increase a persons height without any side effects. However, not everyone who has used such products is satisfied with the results.

Methods of increasing height naturally

In order to grow taller naturally, it is important to follow a good stretching program that is designed specially, to increase height. While exercising, the body releases a hormone known as the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) into the system. This hormone can help the muscles, tissues and bones to increase in size. When you perform stretching exercises, you can focus especially on those parts of the body, that help you grow and since the major bulk of your height comes from the legs and the spine, you could try yoga poses that help stretch these parts. Yoga weight loss exercises are well known, but there are certain yoga exercises that can help increase height naturally too:

Janu Shirsasana (The Head to Knee Pose)
Adho Mukha Svasana (The Downward Dog Facing Pose)
Uttanasana (The Standing Forward Bend)

These poses and stretching exercises will help to decompress your spine and will promote growth and flexibility in the body.

Methods of increasing height during puberty

People usually grow taller right from the time that they are born, till they reach the end of puberty. Just before puberty, the growth plates, i.e., the ends of the long bones in the arms and legs remain soft, which makes it possible for them to increase in length. It is during the stage of puberty that these plates begin to solidify. Once they are completely solid, growth comes to an end. Therefore, it is best to practice various stretching exercises before the end of puberty.

Methods of increasing height in children

Almost every parent wants their child to be tall, or at least at an average height. However, there are several factors that influence the height of the child. The main factor is hereditary conditions. Apart from that, it is possible to increase the childs height to some extent, by making him or her follow a healthy diet and perform stretching exercises on a regular basis.
