Method 5 Sleep

As we all do, sleeping is essential to both, health and recuperating energy. By far people of young age have a tendency to sleep at late hours at night, which is what is needed to be looked at in details of various disappointing outcomes. Of the worse is headache that reduces the ability to focus on any activity and not able to sleep well at times. The overall impact does not say that it excludes height but the height depends on the health which directly rises from the sleep. To garner the opportunities to grow taller, why not add a boost of the most importance- the sleep and it's patterns.
   Sleeping is one thing, but it's pattern is the key that plays the role to grow you. Typically a healthy sleep is one which comprises of 8 hours of sound sleep at night. But don't be mistaken with being on the bed relaxing as sleep- it is not counted as sleep. Some points should be given effect with proper practice and constantly continuing with it. One of the best times to sleep is a 9p.m. - of course this is impossible for these days, but the reason lies in the 2 hour time period of 9p.m.- 11p.m. where the body replenishes most successfully and effectively.
    When applying the other techniques in this website or methods proposed by others', they only work if you sleep. Yes you sleep and it works. First you workout or eat certain nutritions then you sleep, while sleeping , the body grows a little by little until finally you come know that you stand taller than the other guys. A quick fact about the connection between height and sleep is that when a body is laying on the bed(sleeping), the spine does not undergo compression because neither the spine is pushed inside with all the weight above the waist nor the legs are compressed by the weight of the upper body. It might be interesting to note that a person typically is about half an inch to one inch taller just when he gets up from bed in the morning. This height however isn't an official height of a person but it does prove that bone decompression for a long time can indeed make a person grow longer.

Method 4 Nutritions.

Considering the hectic nature of jobs these days, people try to find suitable time to do exercise and for some it's the height problem and they want to do exercise so that they get taller. The fact that people today are engrossed to their everyday activities has allowed scientists to study the components that make the human body grow without doing extra . And they came up with 8 types of rich in protein foods that are essential for growth.
     This method is the safest and healthy and all you do it add more healthy food in your life so the less important gets squeezed out of the diet.  Although body height is determined by genetics, growth it is also controlled by external factors such as nutrition.  Proteins provide the essence that our bones and cartilages require. 
While taking protein-rich foods, be cautious about the other foods that are rich in carbohydrates and fat. These foods will impede the protein metabolism which is essential for growth. In short by consuming  these protein rich foods, you can add a few more inches to your body height. Some of the highly containing protein foods are listed below which can help you grow taller.

Milk: Milk is the commonest drink universally for building body, even children consume them and through milk babies grow bigger. The best thing about milk is that it's found in many different foods like yogurt and cheese which contains lots of protein. Milk is easily available and the best part is that it's digestible and enables growth process to happen. It's recommend to take 2-3 glasses of Milk each day
Eggs: Just like milk eggs too are packed with boutiful source of protein. The White albumen in eggs contains 100% protein, the yolk should be prevented as it is rich in fats. It's daily intake should be within 5 to 6. It can be taken individually with every meal.
Chicken: Animal sources like chicken are packed with high protein content which is also the highest protein content animal foods. It provides sufficient amount of protein to the body for building of tissues and muscles. Daily intake should be at least 150g.
Beef: Like Chicken, Beef is another important source of protein. Consume 150g of beef daily.
Soy Beans: For those having vegetarian diet who do not eat meat, they can opt for SoyBean, a great protein content food among vegetarian plant foods. It contains pure protein which improves bone and tissue mass. Consume about 100g of Soybeans everyday.


Oatmeals: Similar to SoyBeans, Oatmeal is rich in plant protein. Not only this, those desiring strong bodies, it helps to increase muscle mass and decrease fats. It's best taken in the morning in place of alternative breakfast menu.
Skimmed Milk: Skimmed Milk containing 100% protein but free from fat serves as another option. Consumption of 50 gm of skimmed milk daily after exercise and sports will provide boost your height.


Coral Calcium: Coral calcium comes from sea corals that are indeed very good. Coral calcium helps to increase bone mass also helps your bones to increase length. The younger you are, greater are the results of increasing bone mass through Coral calcium

Method 3 Kicking Exercises

Just the way the heading sounds, yes this is also for lean legs with EXTRA inches. This method is a rather thorough one and specializes on the entire leg, from the thigh till the heel. Have you ever thought why kick boxers have strong legs? Or why do they have long legs? If you had guessed that it's kicking, then you are absolutely right, they kick and kick and gradually their legs grow.
     Although many people don't have the interest and get the time to get into kick boxing, there are some workouts that are for everyone, even kids and adults but not the ones with leg aches-sorry. The leg stretching or kicking method has its own way of working, just like the others, it doesn't require a long time to do, and it's safe. But certain cautions have to be considered, whether are your legs long and lean which people will tell when they look at you. If they are already naturally long, it's strongly recommended not to do this activity as even longer legs would make one look like a giraffe, instead they can focus on the spine and if you want to be a part of this activity you may follow this procedures but don't be too vigorous.
    So this is how this method works, you need a clear ground where there'd be no interference. You may do it in your room but make sure the rest of the family members know you are kick exercising or they might come inside and your leg might fling them. It's up to you whether you want to wear shoes or not during the exercise.
    The most important thing before you start doing anything is your attire, a short pants would be idle for kicking. If you don't have enough stability, you may hold something rigid to help you stabilize. For the actual process, you must stand straight with your legs wide, not any more than 2 feet or you'll lose stability. Lift one leg slightly higher, until where you feel that your sole would not touch the floor during this activity. You can start kicking slowly at first to warm up before actually applying zeal. Remember you have to stay in that position until you have completed kicking. Keep your leg straight throughout.
   Kick the leg as high as possible (better if they go above eye level), without bending the knee. When you perform the kick, be sure to apply pressure so you feel your thighs and shin stresses a little. One kick is when the leg goes at pinnacle then returns down. Continue kicking for 12-20 time per leg before switching to the other leg. One round includes both legs kicking. You may rest a few second before continuing but not more than a minute. Try doing 10 rounds for better results.
    For anyone who's not able to handle that level of exertion, you may kick 10 times per leg and take a minutes rest before continuing to the next round. But not exceeding 5 rounds. Results can be speed up by the use of ankle weights (check other post-ANKLE WEIGHTS).

Method 2 Ankle weight

Those who desire long and lean legs can opt for this type of exercise. It requires more care and dedication and may temporarily affect you routine if your regularly move at night. This is not a miracle method but another technique to lengthen you and help you get the height. Its a cost involving technique but the ankle weights can be used for future workouts. So there shouldn't be any doubts to purchase a set. This particular exercise is strictly for the shin and overall it gives a benefit to have a model like figure which focuses on longer legs than bodies. What the ankle weights do is, they pull your shin away from the knee. Over time the legs become longer and technically give you a better height.
    To carry out this method, first of all you need a bed or any comfortable sofa where you can freely hang your legs without touching the ground. This is very important as you would have to sleep on it throughout the night. The core success comes while you are resting/sleeping, but this ain't magic either. The process begins with exercising your legs before you go to sleep through some of the methods specified or you may choose something alike but keep the pressure on. Options for exercising are kicking, sprinting and jogging. If you pick kicking, you may follow up with the post that's tagged with 'KICKING EXERCISE' and do it. for sprinting and jogging, carry out pretty much the basics and when done(including kicking) attach ankle weights to the legs and go to sleep. Be sure that the shin is hanging downwards(vertical) so that the ankle weights can apply the weight together with the gravity. Be cautious about the tightness of the ankle weight, it's not important to make it tight or else the blood flow will be affected.  
Remember, if you want to visit the toilet, make sure you go earlier so the outcome won't halt. Carry out any of the methods (kicking, sprinting and jogging) at night only when you know you'll be on the bed for at least 7 to 10 hours.

Method 1 Easy stretching exercises

Method 1 teaches you how to apply the right amount of pressure on the spine and the legs which can be done by all. There are 3 types of stretches that you have to do that are designed to strengthen core muscles, improve posture and also encourage your body to increase the levels of growth hormone it releases in to your blood stream. Exercises such as sprinting and swimming can encourage the hormones to increase. But simpler much easier alternatives  are binded in this article.
   Now remember the three stretches should be done regularly and with equal emphasis given to them so that you don't overdo anyone of them. Similarly, don't be too enthusiastic or lazy and remember constant effort is needed. Now all you have to do it, focus on these 3 exercises and carry on everyday routine. 
 Step 1- Dry land swimming.
Lie down straight, stomach downwards and fully extend your body. By balancing your body with alternative leg and arm, lift the other ( example lifting your Right arm and Left leg above the ground, while balancing your body with Left arm and Right leg. 
  Lift them slowly until where you can safely lift, and hold that position for 5 seconds.Then gradually bring them down and switch arms and legs to start with the other. This way you can also burn fats and look leaner. 


Tips
-.You may use ankle weights and wrist weights to apply more pressure.
-. As you progress, you may increase the time period of hold to even 30 seconds.
-. Try to immediately shift legs and arms without having both arms and legs touching the 
   ground and applying zero pressure.
-. How frequent do i do? 10 times per session and 5 sessions in one day. It will be helpful if 
   you increase it to 7 or 8 sessions.


Step 2- Jumping rope
Get jumping ropes from any store and use, or you may do without it, no harm as legs do the work in this exercise. You may jump using strengths from both legs, and at the same time. Do not use either leg's strength more than the other or there'll be difference in the legs' length when you see the results. Next, don't over do and jump too high and exert too much pressure. Keep the jumps going till you can safely do it. No harm doing  less at the beginning.


Tips
-. Do at least 300 times per round and about 10 rounds per session. No harm doing 20 sets,
   but don't overdo until 35 and above.
-. For beginners who have a paunch, 200 times per round would be a good start. And this    
   method helps to   reduce weight also.
-. Do a maximum of 600 times per round and give good rest to your shins with a good 8 
   hours sleep.


Step 3- Hanging
Although this is a cliche method, it actually works. For this stretch, you need a metal horizontal bar which is securely attached to the supporter and all you got to do is hang on it. Remember your entire body has to be above the ground and as straight as possible. You may pull yourself up and lower just like chin ups.


Tips
-. Hang around 3 seconds at the beginning and slowly increase the limit to 10, 20 and so on
   seconds. But remember not to exceed 1 minute and don't jump down aggressively but 
   bend your legs when you descend.
-. Hang 10 times per round and do 10 rounds per session. you may increase it, otherwise 10    and 10 is fine.
-. You may attach ankle weights to rapid the effect.

The frustration part

Don't you sometimes feel just if you were 'a little taller' than your friends you could eliminate the height difference?. At present time, in many countries, people are getting taller, by average in the western countries people are like 5.11' or 6 feet. But those who have problem growing taller, know how it feels when taller guys mock them. This is why people do all kinds of things and try out various methods to spurt those remaining inches from their spine or legs. Much more problem there is for those who are below five feet FIVE INCHES.. and not to worry at any age, when those hidden inches are there, you can pull them out.
 Now, not everyone can benefit from the same method. For example, athletes like tennis players and  weightlifters with strong bone structure in the shin will not benefit from hanging ankle weight. And for those who are fat (extreme cases) might not be able to perform certain techniques like kicking and so on. But not to worry and not to go to doctors and go through painful methods when there are right methods for you.
  In order to gain height, there are 2 main areas where length can be stretched, the upper body and the lower. For the upper, the spine is given certain stretches and as well as enough rest to grow. some goes to legs but there's a little more to be done there. But make sure the legs don't grow too long, or you'll look like flamingos.
