Several factors influence the overall height. Genetic factors account for 60 to 80 per cent of the final height. The remaining percentage is determined by factors such as nutrition and exercise.     

Practise good posture

Postures like slumping and slouching make you look shorter than you actually are. So correct your posture. 

Yoga to increase height   

Yoga lengthens the back and leg muscles, stretches the spine, and enhances posture. Yoga also promotes the development of healthy cells.    

Strengthen the core muscles    

Performing core strengthening exercises might stimulate the release of growth hormone, which helps increase height. 

 Healthy lifestyle before age 18   

One should have a healthy lifestyle from childhood to reach the genetically determined height potential. 

Nutritious diet    

Eating a well-balanced diet is essential because nutrition is crucial in determining height. Protein, Vitamin D, calcium and other essential minerals make up a balanced diet.  

When no other methods work, we have heels and inserts. These can artificially increase a person’s height temporarily.
