I Want To Grow Taller? Som Information Found Online

---In our body we have hormones which are distributed around our bodies for certain purposes. A vital hormone for growth is the human growth hormone. This hormone is distributed around the body to the area it is needed and it promotes growth whether it is muscle or bone.

Many people (maybe even you) have tried using pills, herbs, creams and injections to help them stimulate this hormone however, those man-made methods don't work and have side-effects too which not only means they are a risk to your health but a waste of time and money too.

This is why you want to learn how stimulate the human growth hormone naturally. If you are able to do this you will be able to grow taller quickly and effortlessly.

Let's go through some quick facts - nothing in this world will have you as tall as you want to be in a couple of days, your bones won't be able to grow that fast so if you expect some method where you pour fairy dust on yourself and become gigantic then leave now and go to a make-believe lens.

If you are looking to grow a few feet taller then grow up (no pun intended), do you really think you can grow a few feet taller - I doubt you could grow a foot taller.

Anyone left reading this? Good! While they try finding neverland you are going to discover how you can grow taller in a matter of weeks and become respected.

Sleep was always the answer to growing tall, do you not remeber when you were little and your parents used to say go to sleep so you can grow up tall. Obviously we thought this was nonsense (the same for eating vegetables) so we ignored them. Doctors have now also proven that sleeping has something to do with gaining more height (i bet you wish you listened to your parents now eh?).

When it comes down to sleep there are a few factors you need to get straight.....

-Sleeping Posture
When you sleep you are reliving the stress and pressure your spine has taken the whole day whilst you were standing and sitting down. The correct posture you want to use is lying down flat on your back with you head slightly raised or no pillow at all. This posture will allow the cartilages between the vertebrae to stretch and function properly which will go on to straighten/lengthen your spine

-Your Bed
The key to get your spine aligned is to get a sem-firm mattress. This means don't buy one that is too soft since this causes your lower back to sink down too far into the mattress and this causes spinal joints agony as they try to keep your spine in porper aligment.

A mattress that is too firm will cause unsupported areas of the back and also will cause an unequivalent distribution on weight

-Amount Of Sleep
Apart from posture you need to make sure that you get about 8 hours sleep minimum. When you sleep your body releases human growth hormones to the areas that need it and this process occurs mainly in the first few hours of sleep so you need to make sure that you get as much sleep as you can to make sure that this process work properly.
One way to increase your human growth hormone is through your diet. Your diet is what you use to fuel your body so you need to make sure you have it correct.

An amino acid you may have heard of is Glutamine. This amino acid can be found in various supplements and the purpose of this amino acid is to stimulate the release of hormones and more importantly the human growth hormone. So if you are creating a diet plan then make sure you include glutamine to help you grow taller quickly.

Next thing with your diet is avoiding carbohydrates. Foods high in carbohydrates will do more harm than good to your goals of growing taller. An example of a perfect diet would be a high protein and low carb diet which bodybuilders use. Bodybuilders use this diet to stimulate the HGH to where they need it, their muscles.

So with enough growing taller exercises you will be able to direct the HGH towards your shins, thighs , spine and other places that are able to stretch to make you taller.-

--If you have passed the puberty point there are a few growing taller exercises which you can do to help you increase your height to add on those extra inches. In my opinion the top 3 exercises are....

-1. Swimming
Swimming is not only an enjoyable sport but a great way to stay fit and grow taller too. When swimming make sure you focus on the backstroke as the outstretched arms and legs helps to lengthen your spine and with the counterbalance that the water provides you will find yourself getting taller in no time.

-2. Sprinting/running
Sprinting is a less enjoyable sport depending on your fitness levels but it is a great way to help you grow taller. By sprinting you are strengthening your shins and your spine. By strengthening them you are in fact aiding a little bit of extra growth to your body.

-3. Hanging/Inversion
This is another great exercise which you should take a look into and can also be done in the comfort of your own home. By hanging from a bar you are letting gravity "stretch" out your spine which in turn helps growth. You can add a little weight onto your ankles (ankle weights) to help you achieve your goal even faster.
Sometimes people find inversion an easier method (hanging upside down from a bar with inversion boots) as it is easier to hang from the bar and it targets the legs more than hanging would.
Aim for about 10 minutes a day with your chosen method 
You may not find deep breathing and massage that much concentrated on your bones and spine but, this could definitely help in stimulating your hormones and glands to work double time for you to grow taller.

Deep breathing is something you want to do whilst going through your growing taller exercises. By breathing deeply you are bringing more oxygen into your body and proper oxygenation means more hormones can be distributed around your body including the HGH.

So anytime you are going through your growing taller exercises or your stretches to grow taller then you need to make sure that you do some deep breathing exercises such as breathing in deeply, holding your breath and then exhaling. Focusing on this will help you grow taller and will also calm down your body.

As for massaging it is not only a great way to relax but also a great way to stimulate your HGH. There are various reflex points which when stimulated release hormones into your bloodstream.

The two reflex points that you want to focus on is the pad of the thumb and the other is through your neck. Rubbing these points in a clockwise direction will help stimulate your human growth hormone and have them distributed around the body where they are needed

How To Improve Your Posture and Height

Imagine walking down the corridor, everyone turning heads and looking at you, (wo)men giving you "the look", people actually listening to you for once, getting the respect you deserve

You don't have to imagine that because that can and will be you! Don't laugh!

Read on and I will stop you from searching how to increase my height in Google!

Posture is very important for health benefits too but it is also a great factor to increase your height by up to 6 inches and that is what you will discover here. Along the way you will discover things like why it is important to improve your posture and see which methods will help you.
Things such as carrying a heavy back pack, sitting in a slouched position, carrying things to heavy at work or in your personal life, sleeping wrong and even walking wrong can all create bad posture.

Take a look at the hunchback of notre dame. He had a really bad posture and as you can tell he was short but imagine him standing straight up. His height would have increase by quite a lot! 

After the growth plate fusion has occured, it is impossible for your bones to grow any longer. For girls this will happen before they hit their 20's and for boys it will happen just after. DO NOT be fooled by all those miracle height growth pills, machines and creams that say they can increase your height even if you are 30. These are scams and don't work!

There is only one way you can grow taller after your growth has stopped and that is to improve your posture. Your posture accounts for 35% of your height and if you improve your posture you can grow an extra 2-6 inches.

Many people have bad posture, sometimes it is genetic and most of the times it is a habit that has been picked up on a daily basis. By improving the way you stand you can look taller.

 To start looking to improve your posture you will want to relieve that pressure from your spine as much as possible.

-Sitting Posture
Your sitting posture is important if you are someone who works at a desk or a student who is always sitting at a desk. The posture you want to adopt is to have a straight back but not too straight that it becomes uncomfortable as this can cause more pressure on your spine.
If you are lucky to have a chair with a back support then you want to use this support to keep your back straight as it will be less uncomfortable.

-Standing Posture
When you are standing and walking around you are putting the most pressure on your spine. To improve your posture here you will want to keep your back straight. Take note of your shoulders too, don't let them drop down as this can cause you to lean slightly forward. You want to keep it straight, shoulders in check and try to avoid carrying heavy bags on your back and shoulders as this can add stress to your back.

-Sleeping
Sleeping is the best time to relieve all the stress on your back. When you are sleeping you want to lie flat on your back with your head slightly lifted or not at all. This may feel uncomfortable from your usual sleeping position but that curled up position won't help your spine at all!

Natural Methods To Help You Grow Taller

You hate being small, obviously you do, why else would you be reading this? Heck I hated being small (notice the past tense there?). I was constantly being picked on, not getting noticed and suffered from a loss of confidence and I'm sure you're going through it too.

However, you can stop this now!With the help of this page you will be able to learn some amazing secrets that will help you add those extra inches to your height and best thing is.....it's all natural; no drugs, no surgery, no machines, just good old nature!

So stop saying to yourself I want to grow taller and do something about it! 

There are many methods out there to help you grow taller quickly and all these methods can be sorted into 2 main segments which are natural and man-made.

In our body is an important hormone vital to our growth, human growth hormone (HGH). This hormone is distributed to places in the body for promoting growth such as muscles and bones when stimulated enough.

With this information people looked for injections, herbs, creams, pills and any "get quick" products that they could find on the market which they soon found to not only be a waste of time but also money.

If you want to grow taller then what you want to use are natural methods. This includes doing growing taller exercises, stretches to grow taller, stimulating your human growth hormone naturally and many more. 

• Your posture is very important to grow taller. -Your spine accounts for 35% of your height and if you improve your posture you can grow an extra 2-6 inches! Your posture isn't perfect and nor is mine. Some people have been passed down genetic posture problems while others develop bad posture on a daily basis.

• You can always make some simple changes to your wardrobe to make yourself look taller if needed to. Have you seen people wearing tight t-shirts that make them look more muscular than they are? Well you too can do the same but instead of making yourself seem muscular you can make yourself look taller...

Firstly you want to try wearing solid dark colours e.g. dark pants and a dark top. This blurs out the waistline which makes you look taller, try to avoid going for contrasting colours such as dark pants and a white top as this will draw more attention to your waistline making you look taller.

The next wardrobe change you want to make is to wear clothes with padded shoulders, many tall people have broad shoulders and if you can't too then make yourself look like you have them!

If you are someone who wears suits then you should aim to have something pin-stripped as this gives off an illusion of being tall too (you can also wear stripped socks to make your legs look bigger if needed to).

As for the shoes you can buy height insoles for your shoes which fit comfortably and make you look taller. If you are someone who likes sports then check out tennis trainers which are great for making you look taller too!-

• Your body has various points that are able to lengthen/straighten making you taller. The main points when stretching are the shins, the thighs and your spine. Each of these have the capability of stretching and therefore making you taller.

So just by doing some simple stretches to grow taller in the morning when you wake, before you go to sleep or just anytime when you are free you will start to see results if you dedicate enough time and effort into them.

Your body has various focal points which you need to focus on if you want to grow taller quickly. The areas such as the spine, shins and thighs all have the capability of growing and with the correct exercises you can make them longer.

• Exercises such as jumping for example will put pressure on your shins which is something that will help you grow taller however there are correct techniques so make sure you know how to do these growing taller exercises properly!

Apart from all those exercises, stretches and other methods to lengthen those bones you will need to rest properly and when I say rest I mean 8 hours of it! Sleep is a vital part of the growing taller process and you need to make sure that you get enough of it to be able to achieve your goal.

Everyday you are putting pressure on your spine as you walk around and sit down (bad posture) and when you lie down you are able to relieve your spine of all the pressure and stress. For this reason when you sleep you want to sleep flat on your back and allow the spine to stretch out and straighten out.
