How to Become Tall

Short people may have a reason to live, but they soon grow tired of standing on kitchen chairs to reach top cabinets and standing on higher steps to kiss their lovers. Being short is an inconvenience that many can remedy by lengthening their bodies. Various methods of becoming taller exist, though not all methods work for everyone. In fact, some people attempting to grow taller never succeed without painful surgeries or learning to walk on stilts.

  Practice yoga. Yoga stretches the muscles in the body and may add as much as 3 inches of permanent height to the body. Through Yoga exercises, you strengthen and stretch the spine, over time adding to your height. This increase in height does not occur immediately, but requires frequent and ongoing practice of various Yoga poses.

  Speak to your doctor about Human Growth Hormone. Available as an injection, Human Growth Hormone, also known as HGH, works to increase body height as much as 5 inches. This permanent method takes effect within months or years, but may cause side effects if the HGH levels grow too high.

• 3

  Take Human Growth Hormone Stimulators. HGH stimulators contain combinations of amino acids that react with and cause the pituitary gland to produce more HGH. A safer and less expensive method than HGH injection, HGH stimulators cause consumers to grow an additional 2 inches in height. While HGH proves effective for younger individuals, this method typically only works for those younger than 28 years old.

  Sign up for a limb-lengthening surgery if you are committed to increasing your height. This expensive method consists of surgically implanting rods into the legs to increase the height of the body. While this method offers as much as 12 inches of permanent height, it also is an expensive option that most insurance companies refuse to pay for.
