My story, How I grew Taller, How Long it Took & How I Achieved It

Having been the small guy all my life, I know how difficult it can be. Always having to look up at people when talking, it used to make me feel so uncomfortable when having conversations. After years of struggling to accept my height at a messily five foot six inches, I decided it was time to take action.

It was the summer of 08 when I embarked on my journey to get tall. I started with little hope not knowing if it was even possible to increase my height, I wanted to stay away for pills & medications right from the start as 99% of them do not work.

After a few weeks of looking round the web and reading hundreds of web pages, I came to the conclusion the best way to grow taller would be to use stretching exercises and proper nutrition. I know it sounds strange ''stretching exercises'' but many people have gained inches in height just by implementing a few simple techniques in to their daily routine.

My main problem was my posture, like many people my who work at desks or are sat in chairs for long periods of time. My back was always slumped, I would never sit up or stand up straight this made me appear even smaller than I was. I gained 1'' in height just from correcting my posture, and you can to!

As I slowly started to implement all the stretching exercises I had studied, Week By week I was gaining height. Each week I would measure my height and each time it gave me more of an incentive to carry on, because I was seeing results.

1# Posture

Using correct posture can be an instant way to increase your height, Make sure you sit up straight with your shoulders back. It can be quite hard to implement at first, if you have been used to slouching. Try to remind yourself every time you find yourself slouching, it can and will work wonders for you.





2# sleep

When sleeping at night always try to sleep on your back, this keeps your spine straight and works wonders for your posture. If you want to improve it even more Try to find a good pillow, wrong pillows bend your neck into an unnatural position as you sleep and over time can even cause cervical disc protrusion!




3# Cycling

Cycling is a fantastic way to lengthen your legs, All you have to do is raise the bicycle seat three to four inches higher than normal. It may be difficult at first, riding your bike in this manner but you soon adapt to it. I would suggest only doing this exercise for twenty 20 minutes at a time, to avoid unnecessary strain.






4# Swimming

Swimming is an excellent growth stimulating activity, When done in the right way . A few lengths up and down your local pool each week, using the breast stroke technique can dramatically improve your height. The breast stroke utilities your full body length meaning every time you complete a stroke your body is at its maximum length






5# Attitude

As I said before I started off with little hope, But as soon as I saw results the fire was lit. It had hit me I can grow taller and will gain height, I stuck at it and it paid off. The best piece of advice I can give you is don't expect anything to happen overnight, it takes time and commitment, but is very achievable.


I wish you the best of luck

Top five stretching exercises to grow taller

There are many stretching exercises you can do to increase your height. In this article I'm going to list the top five natural ways to grow taller.

Number one, the twist.

The objective of this exercise is to twist the spine some people find this movement difficult as the spine has grown very inflexible throughout their lives. The lower spine is usually the most un-flexible part of the spine, this is due to our seated positions most of the time. To do the twist you need to stand in a doorway facing the frame of the door, put your feet firmly inside the door frame and twist your body from left to right, remember to twist the neck and head to as we need to stretch the whole length of the spine.

Number two, the hang

This exercise gained me two inches in height, and it's one of the simplest stretching exercises you can do to grow taller. You simply need to hang your body from a height, whether you hang on to a pull bar, goalpost or tree they are all the same. You just need to hang there for a few minutes at a time. This gives the discs in your spine time to decompress, it's also great for re-aligning a bad posture as the body is being stretched into its natural shape. What we are doing is using gravity to get taller rather than letting it make us shorter.

Number three, the shoulder lift

This exercise is a bit more complex but well worth the effort, lying on the floor face down with a pillow, try not to twist your neck to the side. You'll feel your shoulders and arms pulling down towards the floor due to gravity. All you have to do is lift your shoulders and arms entirely off the floor for 10 seconds, repeat this three times every morning and every evening. If you can master this exercise you'll start to see results fast within 3 to 4 weeks, this exercise works by stretching a muscle that is often very weak in the majority of people. The muscle in the centre of the spine becomes slack due to years of sitting in chairs and at office desks, eventually the muscle gets a week and your body starts to sag ,you lose height.

Number four, side twists

This exercise can be done standing up or sitting down, place both hands on your shoulders so that your thumbs are behind your neck and your fingers in front of your shoulders. Inhale while slowly twisting your body to the right then the left, as you twist allow your head you follow. This exercise stimulates and stretches the upper spine, and this fantastic stretching exercise to grow taller.

Number five, sleep

Sleep is a fantastic way of increasing your height, you need to get 8 hours of sleep a night for your body to function at its best. The body grows and repairs itself at night, when we don't get enough sleep our bodies cannot function in the way they should and it can hinder our growth patterns.

Use Your Diet to Grow Taller
