All men and women want to look tall and smart. We may strive to look elegant and fit, but gaining height is not easy. Actually, with a little determination and the right approach, we can grow 2-6 inches even after 18 years of age. Many people think that it is not possible to gain height after puberty.
Here are some tips to increase height after the age of 18:
* Some people take HGH supplements and injections. Actually, HGH (height growth hormone) is essential to become tall, but it needs to be enhanced naturally. After puberty, the body’s production of this hormone slows down. These pills and injections are inserted externally into the body. This can create a huge hormonal imbalance in the body. You may also have side effects like hyperpigmentation, headache, lethargy, nausea, etc. Women can also have problems with conception and pregnancy.
* Limb lengthening surgery refers to an operation in which a piece of bone is cut from somewhere in the body and attached to the leg bones. This improves height permanently. Looking at this method, you will realize that it is simply not worth it. It is very expensive and risky. It also leaves you bedridden for several months. Plus, it requires a lot of weird care and safety precautions. Even if you miss any of the lot, it would be dangerous. This method also depends a lot on the experience of the professional.
* Another option to grow from 2 to 6 inches in height after the age of 18 is stretching exercises and yoga along with proper diet. You should perform stretching exercises regularly and rigorously. Set up a bar in your room and hang it when you have time. You should also do leisure activities like basketball and swimming.
* Have plenty of water and dairy products.
* Sleep at least 6 to 8 hours at night and have a balanced diet.
* Have foods that are rich in zinc, manganese and phosphorous.
* Maintain your weight. It could become an obstacle in your growth.
