Height is influenced by genetics and environment. An increase in height can occur up to 24 years of age. Poor diet, less exercise and lack of sleep can be the cause of less height.
Height and weight go hand in hand. Hence an ideal weight with respect to height is essential for healthy living and good personality.
Remedies that can be considered to increase height are:-
- Have a balanced diet with ample amounts of fruits and vegetables. Our diet should have equal amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals that help the body in growing properly.
- Protein helps in maintain the proper build up of the tissues. Hence have more of protein rich diet consisting of soybean and other pulses, meat, eggs and milk. However animal foods that are rich in protein can lead to overweight and obesity, hence the weight needs to be checked upon before the consumption.
- Increase the intake of calcium that can help in improving the bone structure. Have more of green leafy vegetables, finger millet, dairy products that can improve the calcium quality in our food.
- Certain simple height increasing activities like stretching exercises, skipping, cycling, swimming if done regularly can enhance the height.
- Have good amount of sleep as this can stimulate the growth hormones which is beneficial for increasing your height.
Few exercise regimen that can be useful are:-
- Stand straight and erect on your toes and with both the hands straight above the head. Bend slowly and touch toes without bending your knees if possible. Repeat this exercise for a number of times.
- Lie on the floor on the stomach. Keep your face and palms touching the ground. Lift your trunk and bend backwards in the form of an arch up to the spine and chin facing upwards. Repeat this.
- Attach a bar on the door up to a height that you can stretch and reach. Hang from this bar. This will stretchen and lengthen your height.
