How to Increase Your Height

 

Those who are of average or short height often wish they were taller. Being tall can improve how a person feels about himself or herself. People with short height, particularly men, may be self-conscious about it and feel less confident.

A person’s height is determined to a great extent by genetics, but it is not necessarily the only determinant. There is a hormone in the body known as Human Growth Hormone (HGH) that regulates height. HGH is produced by the pituitary gland and is highly essential for the growth of long bones and cartilage.

Several other factors play a key role in determining height, such as smoking during pregnancy, poor post-natal care, low birth weight and poor health during childhood.

Often people think that they stop growing when they enter adulthood. But a person can grow a few inches taller even after turning 18. This can be done by incorporating some healthy habits into your lifestyle.

Drink Plenty of Water to Increase Your Height:-

1. 1. Guzzling down gallons of water won’t make you grow into a towering giant, but the body needs to stay hydrated in order to reach its full growth potential.
   2. Drinking water is often overlooked when it comes to growing taller.

1. However, water improves digestion, flushes out toxins, and improves your metabolism.
2. As such, it will have a direct impact on your height.
3. You need at least 8 glasses of water a day for optimum health.
4. Another great way to keep your body hydrated is to eat water-based fruits and greens like watermelons and cucumbers.

Consider Using “Grow Taller” Supplements to Increase Your Height:-
