Truth is, there are no shortcuts on growing an inch or more. Growth happens over time, from when you were born up to your mid-20s. Within this period, the growth plates of your body are open. When they are, there is a potential to keep growing additional inches. But when they close, there is no way you can ever grow more naturally. Good thing, the internet says you still can. So while you still can get taller, make sure that you maximize your potential. 

 

Here are some of the tips you can use on how to grow taller fast:

 

- Eat the right stuff. You should consider eating lots of carbohydrates and calories because they give your body energy to grow. Don’t forget protein too as it gives your body the essential building blocks required for growth continuity. Calcium, Niacin, Zinc, and Vitamin D promote bone growth, so make sure you meet the daily requirement by taking them as supplements after breakfast. 

 

It is also very important not to miss your breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day. You should eat breakfast before taking in supplements. You should also eat regularly to keep the momentum of your body at high. 

 

- Exercise often. You probably heard about all those stretching exercises that add an inch or two to the height of a person. Well, they are true as long as the growth plates of the body are still open. And there are sports that supports growth too, including swimming, running, and biking among others. 

 

- Get enough rest and sleep. Growing kids and adolescents are required to rest and sleep between 8 and 11 hours every night. During deep rest or sleep, human tissues regenerate and the body grows, so make sure that you allow your body do these things by getting quality rest. If you are having difficulty in sleeping, you can always treat yourself to a warm bath or a hot cup of chamomile tea. Any of these will calm your senses and lull you to a good, long sleep that will help you grow taller faster. 

 

- Avoid vices. Smoking, drinking, and consuming prohibited drugs or steroids all have bad effects on the body and its growth, especially to growing kids and adolescents. This is why you need to keep away from these things or else, you will deny yourself with the better height and confidence that you should have while your growth plates are open. 

 

-Practice good posture. Good posture may not add inches to your actual height, but it can add one or more to your body frame so make sure you do practice to stand and sit up straight. Doing so will also give your personality a better outlook and confidence, so never slouch. 

 

With these tips, you now know how to grow taller fast. The best thing though is that all of these tips are natural, so you don’t have to worry about side effects or any other untoward effects.
