Do physical exercises help one gain a few extra inches to their height? The answer is dependent on many factors including genetics, the type of exercise, age and how the exercise is carried out. What is guaranteed to contribute a few inches to your height include correct posture, flattering clothing, proper diet and quality nightly horizontal sleep.
It is also true that if you carry out a number of exercises right, they contribute to your height growth. The right exercises to get taller include sporting activities like swimming, basketball, volley and cycling. When these physical exercises are done right, they motivate the growth hormones to add the few inches to the bones all over the body. However, this will only be effective if you also eat the right nutrients that will promote growth in the body, especially calcium, proteins and fibers. Try to minimize heavy exercises like weight lifting because they do not contribute to height but suppress the bones.
