How to Grow Taller Naturally

Background Information

So what are the major factors when it comes to height and gaining height:
* Genetics
* Nutrition
* Human Growth Hormone
* Exercises
* Growth Plates
* Sleep
* Deep Breathing
* Massage

What you can't control.

You can't control your genetics.

You can't change or control when your growth plates fuse up and close, either. Usually this happens around the age of 24. You can still grow after that, but it is a lot harder. You will gain at most 2 inches (5 cm) of height after your growth plates fuse together.
This page will show you how to help boost your Human Growth Hormone production to help prime your body to grow. Sleep is tied into this.
It can also help you understand the importance of deep breathing and a certain area that needs to be massaged.

The exercises which will be used for leg lengthening include the following:

*Kicking
*Jumping
*Cycling
*Swimming
*Jumping Ropes
*Sprints

(Kicking)

Repeated kicking helps lengthen the shins and the thigh bone. There are two kick exercises that will help you. The first one is the basic front snap kick. Just extend out your leg and snap out a kick. The kick will be quick and will not go any higher than 2 feet (60 cm) off the ground.

Each kick will last less than 1 second. Do 20 kicks at a time on each leg then switch to the other leg. Rest 30-60 seconds after you are done with 20 kicks for each leg. Then repeat the process over again.

The second kick is a Straight Leg Kick. The best way to explain this is to pretend you are kicking a football or a soccer ball. Kick as high as possible. Each kick will last about 1.5 seconds.

Do 10 kicks at a time on each leg then switch to the other leg. Rest 45-60 seconds after you are done with 10 kicks for each leg. Then repeat the process over again.

(Jumping)
There are 2 jumping exercises that will help you.
The first jump is to jump up onto a bench and jump back off. You can do this with both legs or 1 leg at a time but you can get more done by doing both legs at the same time.
These will be rapid jumps. Each jump will last less than 1 second. Do 10 jumps then rest 30 seconds.
The second jump will be to jump as high as you can. These are more intense and require more resting. Do a jump then rest 5-15 seconds.

(Cycling)
When you are cycling, try to ride the bike with the seats raised 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) higher than it normally is. It will be hard at first but keep it like this because it is one of the best ways to force your legs to stretch and lengthen.
Do 20 minutes of this at a time.

(Swimming)
Swimming is one of the best ways to stretch and lengthen you legs and body at the same time. Do the breast stroke. If you have access to a swimming pool, do 15-20 minutes of the breast stroke over a period of 30 minutes.

(Jumping Rope)
Jumping rope puts a lot of stress on your shins if done correctly and provided you give your shins proper rest too. Jump with both of your legs at the same time. Do at most 500 jumps in a session or less if you can't.

(Sprints)
There are 2 reasons why sprinting can make your legs grow longer. The first reason is that intense sprints increases the amount of growth hormones released into your blood. This allows your whole body to grow.

The second reason is because sprints are the best way to stress your leg bones. Be careful when doing sprints because you can easily develop shin splints if you overload yourself with too many sprints and not enough rest.

For sufficient growth, you will only need to do 4-6 sprints of 40-60 yards 3 days a week. If you don't have time to do sprints, switch to one of the other leg lengthening exercises.
