Wouldn't it be great if you could end your days of being short in just a few weeks from now? Well, now you can! Just by doing a specially engineered set of exercises for height increase, you could very well be on your way to becoming taller than you are right now.
So put on your spandex and that elastic head band, and get ready to gain those extra inches vertically! To best understand why an adult person can restart his or her growing process through exercises, you need to understand the nifty little-known facts about your body.
Like, which parts of your body can still extend to help add a couple more inches to your height.
Did you know that the ends of your long bones (by which I mean your thigh and shin bones) are made up of cartilage that can multiply and thicken? A slightly thicker set of cartilage on each bone can altogether add up to a few extra inches in height.
Next, what about the discs in between your many vertebrae that makes up your spinal column? They are made of cartilage too which can also thicken and stretch to elongate the back bone to its optimal length.
It's all great talking about increasing the thickness of our cartilage to make us taller.
But what ACTUALLY can help make it happen? Exercises of course! Or rather, stretching exercises that stimulate the pituitary glands in our brain to churn out more human growth hormone (HGH) in our body system.
HGH is the hormone responsible for the body's growth.
At the same time, it triggers the liver to produce a protein substance called insulin-like growth factor #1 (IGF-1) that helps the cartilages multiply and thicken.
That's not the only job that exercises for height increase do.
Apart from stimulating the body's growth mechanism, stretching exercises also help to strengthen the body and correct the alignment and curvature of the back bone to reach its maximum possible length.
Now do you see how exercises can help you increase your height? Plus, these exercises do not require any special and expensive gym equipment, only takes a few minutes of your time daily, and best of all, they work!
