Stretches For Becoming Taller

Undoubtedly, tall people get more attention than vertically-challenged people. And yes, height doesn’t only make you appear attractive, but also assertive. Sometimes, short people become fanatic to attain height and that’s what is cashed-in by companies that promise to increase height through their products. Alas! You find those products of no use. Though height usually depends on hereditary factor, very few people know that stretches or stretching exercises can help them to increase their height naturally.

 

Even medical research has shown that high-intensity anaerobic exercises, like swimming and cycling, help to produce vital quantities of human growth hormone in the body. The exercise-induced growth hormone or EIG is attributable to acid-base balance, catecholamines, nitric oxide, and lactate; it is recognized physiologically too. Out of all these, nitric oxide and lactate are identified as the main causes of human growth hormone secretion, and both of them are produced by resistance training.

 

Anyone who looks forward to get height through stretches must aim on resistance-training stretches, which actually yield high amounts of human growth hormone secretion. This hormone will make the individual grow taller by thickening the cartilage and increasing the density of bones. Probably, that’s why the trainers stress on doing stretching exercises with the optimum intensity. In fact, exercising with great intensity even for 10 minutes, enhance the chances of becoming taller.

 

The intensity, which a person builds, must be adequate to lactate into his/her muscles for height increase. This lactate will stimulate growth hormone secretion even after exercising, throughout usual rest periods for more than 24-hours. Simply by doing stretching exercises, an individual’s body, virtually, becomes a growth hormone manufacturing machine, to augment the prospect of height increase. If done rightly, these stretching exercises yield better results than any other supplement or technique for increasing height.
