How To Look Taller Than You Already Are

Is your height a major problem for you? Do people look at you weirdly, or do they not even notice you at all? If you don't have enough time to fit in those exercises and diets that will help you grow taller quickly then you can do the next best thing and make yourself look taller instead.

What is the secret to making yourself look taller? Good posture! Posture is a vital factor when it comes to height and it may be the reason that you are short in height. You have to try and maintain a good posture at all times; when standing, sitting, lying down and sleeping. By maintaining a good posture you reap the physical benefit of looking taller.

What can you do to keep a good posture? When you are standing you want to keep your back straight and to limit the amount of weight you carry via bags as this can cause you to have a bad posture without you noticing. When you are sitting you want to make sure that your back is straight and this can be done with a chair that has a high back support and you will also want to keep your legs flat on the floor. When sitting try your best not to slouch as this is a good way to ruin your posture too.

When you are lying down (or sleeping) the position you want to start getting used to is having your back flat on the bed with your neck slightly elevated (easily done with pillows) which will help relax your back and relieve any tension.

You may feel uncomfortable in these positions but once you start getting used to them they will almost become habit and before you know it you will start looking taller in no time at all.

The next thing you can do to make yourself taller is to change up the clothes you have in your wardrobe. Tall people have broad shoulders so you want to impersonate that look (wearing something with slightly padded shoulders perhaps?). You want to make sure that you avoid wearing bulky clothes which includes low-waist pants, these clothes make you appear shorter so make sure that you avoid these! Finally you may want to change your shoes. Some shoes have height insoles to help you look taller but if you prefer the trainer route then check out tennis trainers which are great for adding to the illusion of being tall (a great trick to grow taller quickly)
