How to Grow Tall or Look Taller

Increasing our height is not like gaining or losing weight. It is not like curing any ailment by medication, physiotherapy, operations or injections.

Our height depends on your bone structure from the tip to tow. Our muscles and other parts of our bodies are just covering your bone structure that that forms the frame and profile of our body. If the bone structure is unlikely to stretch-out, there is no question of any increase in our height, in the least.

I do not want to discourage people from making efforts for achieve something worthwhile for health and beauty. My aim is to alert everyone against being exploited by unscrupulous commercial health consultants who claim to have medicines and therapies for increasing height of human beings. They simply pick your pocket, energy, leave you disheartened, and disillusioned with your own life; because, every one of us who have even basic knowledge of human anatomy knows well that increasing or decreasing our height is beyond the accessibility of contemporary medical science.

Please beware of the advertisements on TV and print media about height gaining health drinks, herbs or medicines or any exercising packages because they are all fake.

It is better to accept your present height with grace and be proud of your persona you possess, if you have crossed nineteen years of age. You should not waste time, energy and money on any commercial height gaining packages, because they would not help you in any way. 

You keep growing taller as your age increases right from your birth and continues to grow until adolescence and finally stop at nineteen or maximum at twenty-one. During this period of your growth, you can make efforts for gaining your optimum height. You should remember that the height also depends on our genetic inheritance and even on the genetic combination or our parental lineage.

•    Keep your backbone / spine in as vertical as possible. (within your comfort zone… don’t overdo)
