subject: The Three Most Important Factors In Growing Taller After Puberty [print this page] Statistics say that up to 50% of the US population are unhappy with their height - and the vast majority aren't unhappy because they feel that they are too tall. In fact, some polls suggest that approximately 60% of men and women would love to stand at least a couple of inches taller.
Years of nutrition and exercise science have yielded some promising results. While there are extreme measures that people can take to grow taller by undergoing limb-lengthening surgery, the procedures cost tens of thousands of dollars, are extremely painful, and basically take the patient out of commission for up to a full year after the procedure.
However, there is a better way. The human body is an extremely resilient biological machine that is able to flex and adapt to exercise and stretching stimuli that would surprise most people. Utilizing the body's natural elasticity - particularly the natural curvature of the spinal column and the spongy, flexible cartilage that resides between each vertebrae - it is entirely possible for the average human adult to add an additional two to four inches in height in just a few months.
There are three fundamental factors that are absolutely crucial to the success of such a grow taller regimen:
The first factor is that of diet. Simply put, the human body needs fuel every day and that is just for day to day activities. When you set out to grow taller, you must think of your body the way that an athlete does. You must follow a diet that is high in protein and complex carbohydrates to allow for optimal overall health and to constantly replenish the nutrients used while strengthening and stretching crucial muscles and ligaments. Additionally, an optimal amount of calcium should be ingested each day as a constant supply to bolster the cartilage that is adapting to the second important factor: exercise.
Most people assume that stretching exercises play a large role in growing taller, and they would be right - to a point. However, while stretching plays a major role in growing taller, cardiovascular and strengthening exercises are also vital for post-pubescent height development. This is because the core muscles in the human body have to remain not only flexible but also strong to support the constant conditioning of the spinal column and the surrounding areas.
Finally, the third factor in growing taller is rest. It's no secret that sleep is a fundamental activity in every day human life but the majority of people don't get enough sleep for their every day activity, much less the relatively strenuous activity that is required to grow taller. You are asking your body to transform itself in a relatively short amount of time. Sleep is vital for cellular repair function, as this is the only real time that it takes place in a very active manner. Additionally, much of the exercise that is necessary to grow taller is quite exhilarating and if one is not used to that level of daily exertion, then they will find themselves quite tired by the end of the day, at least at first. It's always best to listen to your body when it says that you are tired - it usually knows what it is talking about
