Increase your height today no matter what age

There are quite a few other factors that decide on your height other than genetics. Nutrition, exercise and stretches are just a few more.

Nutrition helps to keep the body healthy and increase bone size and strength, as well as muscle in your body.

Exercises help to release the human growth hormone which stimulates growth and cell reproduction.

Finally stretches help to align your body. A lot of people loose over 1 inch of height because of their posture.

Now you stand more of a change growing if your under the age of 22 because your growth plates probably haven't fused yet but don't worry if you over this age because there is still hope. I've heard about people well over 40 who have managed to increase their height!

The human growth hormone is still quite a mysterious hormone as many of it's functions are still unknown.

What we do know is that the human growth hormone builds up tissue in the body which stimulates height increase.

It also:

- Increases muscle mass
- Stimulates internal organs excluding the brain
- Strengthens and increases mineralization of bone
- Promotes lipolysis
- Reduces liver uptake of glucose
- Stimulates the immune system

The growth hormone is always in our bodies but is most effective in height increase when our growth plates are open.

Growth plates also known as epiphyseal plates, are present in puberty and early adulthood. After then they fuse up and can no longer be accessed by the human growth hormone.

No matter if the plates have fused or not the chances of height increase are still very high.

Below are some does and don'ts for height increase.

-------------------------------------Vitamins are essential for growth--------------------------------------

Vitamins promote good health and are a necessary compound for a normal physiological function. They help regulate metabolism, convert fat and carbohydrates into energy and more importantly for body growth it helps in forming bone and tissue. It has been described as "essential for human development" so you better take in a lot.

Some foods are higher in vitamins than others but it is always good to keep a varied vitamin in take because different vitamins do different things for your body. Fruits and vegetables are always good for vitamins so eating fruit would be a good start.

You can take multivitamin tablets which you can get from any pharmacy or supermarket. Multivitamins provide a few different vitamins in one tablet meaning in take is easier.

------------------------------------------------Stay positive-----------------------------------------------

If you don't think you can do it then what's the point in trying. Increasing height isn't going to happen over night and probably not even a week.

Growing takes time like everything . You need determination to grow, wake up everyday and do stretches then go out for a bike ride. Don't wake up and go "I can't be bothered". With that attitude you're going no where.

If you feel confident and happy then so will your body and this could help in faster increase in height.

Positive thinking equals positive results so keep up the work and don't give up!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------Exercise---------------------------------------------------------

Any exercise you do will release HGH (Human Growth Hormone). The HGH stimulates growth of muscle, cartilage and bone, it's made throughout a person's life but is produced more during youth. You can increase the amount of HGH you have by exercising. Exercising doesn't always mean going to the gym, play a sport you enjoy or cycle to work instead of taking your car.

There are many products that are supposed to increase HGH levels but it's best if you avoid these because many are scams and will not work. They are very costly and come in very small amounts.

HGH injections are also available which is the easiest method of increasing HGH levels but these are very costly and dangerous so it's best if you avoid these too.

------------------------------------------------------------Stretches---------------------------------------------------------

Stretching help to straighten your spine and help lengthen the bone of upper and lower limbs. There are many stretching techniques that can help make you taller. Check out the exercises and routines page for some great stretches.

Yoga is a method of stretching and has been proven to help add inches between spine disks due to repeated stretching and decompression.

The good thing about stretches are that they are simple and can be done anywhere. A great time to stretch is when you wake up, before and after you exercise and before you go to bed.

--------------------------------------------------------------Calcium---------------------------------------------------------

Calcium is extremely important in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton. It plays a major role in making sure your bones are strong and also helps build bone.

Children are told to drink lots of milk at an early age as it helps with bone development and strength. By taking in a lot of calcium it will make sure your bones are strong and could even help develop more bone giving you more height.

--------------------------------------------Don't Buy Products-----------------------------------------------

Unfortunately there's no magic pill that will make you grow over night. Growing takes time and effort and not pills!!! There are tons of pills and products that say they can increase your height no matter what your age but most of them are scams. Firstly they cost loads of money for a tiny amount and secondly they don't work.

Most supplements that you buy which can apparently increase height are full of minerals and vitamins that can be found in food that you probably already eat.

They're just a more expensive version of multivitamins that can be bought for about £3/$5 in your local supermarket. Multivitamins are worth buying are they help you get the vitamins you need with ease but "growth" supplements are a complete scam and are much too expensive to keep buying.

Don't be sucked in by fake comments and reviews they don't work!!!

--------------------------------------Don't have too many sugary foods-----------------------------------

Too much sugar in your body will actually slow down the release of chemicals in your body. For your body to stand the best chance of growing you want all of your bodily chemicals to be going round your body as fast as possible.

This doesn't mean you have to give up chocolate or sweets all together just cut down on them and eat healthier. A good food to eat is fruit as fruit contains vitamins and also will supply your body with sugar.

If you really do love your sugary foods then a good way to get around this is to eat them but then burn them off down the gym. This will not only help keep you fit but will also make your body release HGH into your body.

----------------------------------------------Don't overdo it---------------------------------------------------

Like everyone's body it needs time to rest so that muscles can rebuild and important functions in the body can be made.

You need rest so that your body can get to work with making you taller. Sleep is extremely important because this is when HGH works around the body most efficiently.

Like every sporting hero rest is an important time to recover, workout too hard and you'll become stressed and this won't help you get taller at all.

You don't have to actually grow to look taller, there are a few ways in which you can look taller without growing at all.

Here's how...
