Tips to increase height

The soul is beyond the body and therefore, from this perspective, the height or stature of a person is indifferent. The true height of a person is the character and deeds of him.

However, tall height is a natural ambition of humans. I agree that in today’s context it is partly due to the glamor associated with tall stature. If that was the driver of any height increase drive, the efforts would defeat the purpose. Because the true purpose of increasing height should stem from a fervent desire to achieve as much of our potential as we possibly can. A tall height represents a full growth of the body and therefore we should strive for that full growth.

Height varies from person to person based on their genetics, climate, and other conditions. Therefore, general height comparison with others is not a correct approach. Instead, the correct approach should be to stay as healthy as possible for full body growth.

I was born as a boy of medium height. Until the age of 17, my height did not grow much. At the age of 17, at just over 5 feet, I was among the short students in my class and was often teased for being short and skinny. Quite honestly, I felt humiliated at times and tended to avoid public company as much as possible. The matter was made worse because I could see many other guys who were shorter than me a few years ago now surpassing me.

But for once, I decided to stop rationalizing and act like an ostrich. I decided to take my concern head-on. I changed my entire life pattern. Over the next two years, I engaged with new patrons and by the time I was nineteen, I was 5’11” and had an extremely flexible and agile body. Today I am over 6 feet tall.

In this article, I would share those tips that I followed in my height transformation process. I’m sure these will benefit everyone to achieve their full potential:

Tip 1: Brainpower

Our body responds to our thoughts. According to our thought patterns, the appropriate hormones are secreted and the corresponding physiological changes take place. Positive thoughts reverse the aging process and improve health. Negative thoughts speed up the aging process and stunt growth. Therefore, the critical first step in gaining height is to reprogram your thought patterns. It will not only help you increase height but also bring benefits in all areas of your life. For me, it made me a diligent person who helped me get admission in IIT. Here are specific suggestions on mental programming to gain height:

  1. Refuse to accept that you are born sickly and short. Visualize yourself in the most perfect health and live every moment in that vision.
  2. Stop compromising on quality issues. Keep demanding everything you can think of of yourself.
  3. Imagine that your height increases every moment with every movement of yours.
  4. Stop the traits of anger, helplessness and despondency.

Remember that will power is the key. Once you understand it well, the break will work automatically. If you try these tips without strong willpower, it will never work. This secret gives you everything you want in life.

Tip 2: Food

Just stop eating junk, fried, spicy and oily food. I cannot stress enough the importance of a simple, nutritious and healthy meal. Our body is made of the food we eat. We go from being a baby of a few inches to a full grown adult only through the food we eat. Food is the raw material used to build our building that we call a body. How can you expect a strong building to be built if you use inferior raw material from the junkyard?

The following are some recommendations that have helped me:

  1. Eat at least two hours before bed.
  2. have a light dinner
  3. Regular consumption of sprouts
  4. Have a regular feeding schedule and avoid the habit of chewing from time to time
  5. Avoid the consumption of tea, coffee, cold drinks, ice cream, chocolates, etc.
  6. Regular use of triphala powder at night or early in the morning.
  7. Eat lots of fresh fruit
  8. drinking a lot of water
  9. Walk for 10-15 minutes after meals
  10. Eat soaked almonds in the morning. The gulbandi variety is the best.
  11. Eat at sukhasan. This pose is a wonderful gift from our ancient seers.

Tip 3: exercise

The human body is built to work hard and live actively. The more we avoid physical labor, the more we become prone to underdevelopment, faster aging, and disease. Get in the habit of doing intense workouts at least three times a week and normal exercise the rest of the days.

My routine in those days was as follows:

  1. Wake up at 5am and have a variety of workouts until 8am. These included a mix and match of the following:
  • running and jogging
  • Flexibility and stretch
  • martial arts practice
  • Asans and Pranayamas
  • Meditation
  1. At night I used to go for Taekwondo exercises three times a week. The practice of high kicks is extremely beneficial
  2. On Sundays we went to play cricket.

This active routine did wonders for my body and activity.

I would request all health seekers to join the nearby taekwondo lessons. Taekwondo differs from other martial arts. In taekwondo, the emphasis is on high kicks and free stretches that help the body grow. In many other martial arts, the focus is on restricting the body’s movements within a small region. Therefore, it seems to restrict the height of a person.

Similarly, weight training should be avoided for the first 20 years of life. That should be replaced with hands-free exercises like push-ups.

Many claim that Yogasan can help increase height. I even saw a video of a famous hathayogi. He delivered an impassioned speech in the video that seemed to show short stature as the source of all miseries and inferiority complexes. Ironically, the hathayoga guru himself appeared no more than five and a half feet away!

The fact is that hathayoga is being over-emphasized these days and its benefits are being exaggerated as a marketing gimmick. Certain asans benefit, but in essence it is the overall healthy lifestyle package that is effective. Replace these hathasans with any type of aerobic physical activity and the results would be exactly the same. Maybe even more!

That said, certain poses are quite helpful for height growth. These should be added in the exercise routine: chakrasana, halasana, sarvangasana, pashchimatanasana, pavanmuktasana, hastapadasana, mayurasana. Among the pranayamas, the only pranayamas that I have found to be truly effective are Bahya Pranayama, Abhyantara, and Chaturtha Pranayama. These provide all the benefits that are claimed from a variety of breathing practices like Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika, etc. These outdoor rigorous cardio pranayamas give you all the benefits you want from an exercise regimen.

Be sure to develop the habit of deep breathing. We will discuss the art of deep breathing in a separate article.

Tip 4: Various

  1. Sleep well. The more you train, the more rest your body requires. Especially for growth, you want to make sure you don’t deprive your body of much-needed rest.
  2. Sleep early. You work so much during the day that you tend to fall asleep at 10 pm Wake up at 5 or 6 depending on your comfort. I prefer to vary my waking time according to the needs of my body. Avoid night sessions.
  3. keep your spine straight
  4. While standing, try to stretch your entire body up. Sometimes, stand on your toes to fully stretch. You can even raise your hands for a more complete stretch. On more formal occasions, you can stand normally and yet try to stretch your entire body without lifting your toes. Keep doing it from time to time. If you’re on a bus, try to stretch without standing on your toes and touching your head to the ceiling.
  5. Do not stay in a static position for a long time. Keep moving and changing your posture. Stay active and give your body a little workout every now and then.

Tip 5: Brahmachraya (Mind Control)

It goes without saying that all this works only with perfect control over the mind. Get used to challenging your mind with even more control in every moment. Once you master the mind, the world will be at your feet, height is a petty thing.

To develop this mastery and realize what the real fun in life is, it is recommended to follow. The more you practice, the more you will earn:

  1. Stop putting your mind to all forms of sensory input that tend to promote lustful thought patterns: romantic/vulgar songs, movies, literature, company. These generate hormones that speed up the aging process and stunt all natural growth.
  2. Stop looking at the idiot box. In addition to dulls the mind, it makes breathing shallow and therefore causes stunted growth.
  3. Likewise, avoid video games, iPods, and other mind-numbing tools.
  4. Stop digging through the stale newspaper too much. Use it only to keep it up to date. Filling your mind with depressing stories from the past, first thing in the morning, is the worst treatment you can give yourself who is naturally programmed to always be looking ahead.
  5. Prepare action plans. Avoid discussions and analyzes that have no relevance to practical application and are simply a waste of time.
  6. Needless to say, avoid all acts that lead to loss of vital energy and semen.

We will discuss the subject of Brahmacharya in detail in another article and dispel certain myths surrounding the subject. Brahmacharya is the greatest potential remedy for all humans living today and it needs correct, relevant and correct representation.

Please share your feedback on these practices. They should start showing results in a few months. In addition to full body growth, you will also gain a healthy body and a confident attitude.

Stretch to your full potential!
