Get Taller - Is It Possible To Get Taller After Puberty?

By Shaun

If you are frustrated with your height and want to get taller, don't lose hope. There are thousands of people around the world that believe that they're stuck with the height they're with.

There are various useful techniques to increase height and make your bones stronger. In fact, these two aspects go hand in hand.

First, let us talk about the growth of our bones. As infants, most of our bones are in fact cartilage. That is why babies have more bones than adults.

As children start growing taller, most of their cartilage starts fusing and transforming into strong bones. During puberty, it is our cartilage growth plates which cause most of our growth - that is why a healthy diet and sufficient exercise are vital at helping our bones grow during this time.

Why is exercise so crucial during puberty? First off, it triggers the release of HGH (human growth hormones) - which helps you get taller much quicker. But it also strengthens your bones by helping them reach their full length.

If you want to grow tall, you also need to have a balanced diet. If you never knew this, having a poor diet can actually reduce your growth! As children and young adults, we need to be getting enough amino acids, protein, carbohydrates and calcium in our diets, so that we have energy to move and grow.

These nutrients also help in the replenishment of new cells in our bodies as our old cells die off. Remember that as teenagers our bodies work much harder, and as we taller we need as many nutrients possible.

If you're an adult, your exercise and diet are still important ways to increase height and remain taller. However, don't fall for advertisements that claim that stretches and exercises will actually lengthen your bones after they've already stopped growing. This is impossible. However, exercising keeps you trim and fit, which helps when you're dressing to look taller.

A good diet that's rich in calcium in particular will help keep your bones strong and even prevent shrinkage when you grow older.

And those are just 2 of the steps you can take to get taller. The sooner you take action, the sooner you will get taller, so get started now! - 17273
