You are over 25 and you want to increase your height? In a new article, we'll explain the expense of what it can do, as well as to share exercises to help you "grow up" without leaving home.
We all know that a person is growing up to a certain age (girls - 18, boys - up to 24 years). After growth stops. And if you can grow after 25? To answer this question, we need to understand the process of growth.
Why do we grow
Man is growing due to increased bone length. And this process lasts up to complete closing of bone growth zones - zones of cartilage in the spine and long bones endings. While at these sites is neogrubevshaya tissue, may significantly increase the length of the body under the influence of growth hormones. When the cartilage with age okosteneyut zone, it will prevent further growth.
It turns out that to grow due to the lengthening of bones after 25 years has not come out, perhaps with the help of surgery. But the "pull" your body for a few extra centimeters possible. And it's not too difficult.
How to increase growth
This can be achieved due to the stretching of the intervertebral discs. The thing is that the human spine consists of 24 vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral discs, which perceive and absorb the load and provide the flexibility of the spine due to the fact that they consist of chondroid tissue. And if this is the cartilage, it can be stretched, resulting in an increase in body length.
In fact, most people in the 2-6 cm (and more) below their maximum possible growth. This stems from the nature of the spongy intervertebral discs, which are compressed by gravity and high pressure, that may be caused, for example, poor posture, weight lifting on head.
Therefore, even if you are going to do the exercises regularly to stretch the spine, your height will not remain permanent if you do not correct your posture, do not stop lifting weights over your head and do not strengthen muscles of the torso.
How much can you add to the growth of
