The tips and techniques that are provided here are ideas that you can do, even if you are still in your growing or puberty age and will still help ensure that you have a better chance of getting your bones to grow to a height that you feel comfortable with. On the flip side if you are an adult the tips and techniques presented here are for helping you look taller using an alignment perspective.

For youth between the ages of 14 - 21, your bones are still growing. So by doing the following factors on a daily basis your chance of growing taller will increase due to you stimulating the Human Growth Hormone currently stored in your bodies. These factors are:

1- Get an adequate amount of sleep.

2- Get plenty of exercise.

3- Eats lots of fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat. Foods that are good for you, leave the junk food alone.

4- Drink plenty of water.

Now to address the adults: Don't fret because there are tips and techniques that you can use in assisting you to looking taller from an alignment perspective. Now these will not increase the length of your bones because they have probably stopped growing. BUT, by addressing the alignment of your spine, you will straighten up and improve your posture (and look even taller). Put the following tips and techniques into practice:

1- Wear shoes that can increase your height. Heels for women and for men - shoes that have lifts in them.

2- There are certain stretching exercises that you can do to elongate the spine. This may assist you in growing from anywhere from 2 - 4 inches.

3- Wear clothing that helps to accentuate your posture. For women a good fitting bra can do wonders.

4- Check your posture. Do you slump consistently? Just by correcting your posture you are able to look taller and more aligned.

5- And the most important; reduce the stress in your life.

As you can see, depending on where you are in the growth process, you can perform different techniques to assist in getting yourself to a certain height. Keep in mind that genetics must also be taken into consideration and remember, knowing how to grow tall isn't a science!
