Are you unsatisfied with your height? Follow the techniques listed below to achieve your maximum height. Remember that height depends primarily on hereditary factors, environment and age. Children nearing puberty or teenagers will benefit the most from these techniques.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Step1
Do stretching exercises. Consult a trained and certified instructor to set up a proper exercise routine customized to your body structure and requirements.
Step2
Indulge in activities like bicycling and swimming to tone the muscles. Consult your instructor if you suffer from any physical problem or take prescribed medication.
Step3
Consult an endocrinologist to check if you suffer from a hormonal problem. If prescribed, undergo the growth hormone test.
Step4
Talk to your physician or endocrinologist if you need growth-enhancing supplements. Have a proper consultation before starting them.
Step5
Take growth hormonal stimulators prescribed by the endocrinologist. These stimulators are basically amino acids that prompt the pituitary gland to secrete human growth hormone.
Step6
Consume a diet rich in vitamins, calcium, fiber and proteins. Plan your diet with the help of a well-qualified dietician or nutritionist.
Step7
Try techniques like reflexology or acupressure. Here certain points in the feet or the palms are pressed to stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormones.

Tips & Warnings

  • Combine multiple techniques for maximum height gain.
  • Always maintain a proper posture.
  • Get plenty of sleep.
  • Never take any hormone, supplement or medicine without medical supervision.
