What Foods Increase Height?

In some cases it can be boosted medically, although this is expensive and is not an option for most people. Apparently Human growth hormones are all the rage in Hollywood.

As you can see these foods, vitamins and minerals are vital for maintaining good health. I try to get all of the things I have listed in to my diet, but it’s not always easy. Since correcting my diet I feel a lot better health wise, and do notice big improvements in my monthly measurements, Compared to when I was eating junk.


I think diet is the most important factor when trying to gain height, if your diets bad you won’t see results no matter how much stretching you do. To all those people that just can’t seem to gain height, you need to understand it won’t happen overnight is takes time and commitment, if your Diet is in order and you exercise regularly Expect to see results with your stretching exercises!

If you’re Unhealthy or unfit, you need to concentrate on your diet before you start and stretching exercises. Why? Because without the right nutrients and vitamins inside you, your body cant repair itself after exercise, so your just wearing you self down.

Best of luck
