Learn How to Increase Your Height Even After Puberty

If you are under the impression that it is impossible to grow taller after puberty, you are wrong! Everybody has the potential to be more than 2-3 inches taller even though you think your bones have already fused. The reason is that a large percentage of the body, the vertebral column, never fuses.

35 percent of body height is that of the spinal column that consists of 24 separate vertebrae and 9 fused vertebrae. Pads of elastic shock-absorbing cartilage called intervertebra discs lie between the vertebrae. These can be stretched and lengthened through various stretching exercises.

Given below are 4 of such stretching exercises that help you grow taller after puberty. They exercise the spine, maintain elasticity of the discs and make them turgid with spinal fluid along with boosting blood circulation in the whole spine.

Backward Bend: Lie on your back, on the floor, with arms by the sides and palms pressing against the floor. Raise your feet up and over your head on the other side until they touch the floor above your head. Keep your knees straight. Hold for a few seconds, come back and repeat 3 times.

Head to Knee: Sit on the floor with legs extended forward. Bend one knee and bring the heel close to the groin. Turn towards the other leg, hold the toes with both your hands and bend forward towards the foot. Keep your back straight. Breathe deeply and easily. Change to the other leg and repeat 4 times.

Lower Back Stretch on Chair: Sit straight on a chair with feet flat on the floor. Interlock your hands behind your lower back. Squeeze hands together, bend forward at the waist parallel to the floor and stretch. Raise your interlocked hands straight above your back. Take 10 long breaths. Relax.

Shoulder Release on Chair: Sit straight on a chair with feet flat on the floor and arms resting on your thighs. Breathe in slowly and roll your shoulders up to the earlobes. Breathe out slowly and roll them down. Feel the stretch in your spine. Do 5 full circles. So these were four excellent stretching exercises on how to increase height.

Perform these stretching exercises with dedication, eat well, sleep well and also undertake vigorous aerobics like jogging or sprinting. You will grow quickly by up to 4 inches even close to middle age.
