Good nutrition
A healthy, balanced diet is not only good for good health; it can also help you grow taller. You need the right amount of proteins, calcium, minerals, and carbohydrates to attain your maximum height potential.
A major way good diet helps is with regard to the production of human growth hormone (HGH).
Therefore, you may benefit from including foods such as milk, cheese, fish, beans, nuts and seeds in your diet. Fruits and green vegetables are also important. Other helpful foods for height include those rich in vitamins A, B and C as well as iron, zinc, and phosphorus.
Exercise
This can be beneficial partly because of the effects it has on the release of HGH. The levels of this naturally occurring substance are usually high during or after exercise. HGH is a major determinant of height in humans.
Another way you can benefit is that some forms help to stretch the bones in your spine. This can be useful for better expressing your height. Examples of this type of exercise include hanging, pelvic shift, and cobra stretch.
Restful sleep
Good seven to nine hours of sleep every night can also make a difference to your height. This enables your body to refresh properly. More importantly, the release of growth hormone is believed to be highest when you are in deep sleep.
Some people also take HGH injections because of the hormone’s ability to enhance growth and height.
We need to mention that you are more likely to get desired results with these safer options if your growth plates are still open. Otherwise, they might not help so much and limb-lengthening may appear the only solution.
