6 Tips to become taller naturally

The truth is that a person's height is mostly determined by things out of their control, such as genes. But also, there are many factors that affect height during your teen years, that can be controlled.

1. Consume a balanced diet

A person will look a lot shorter when having a plump body. Not only that, being fit by eating right, will make you taller and feel better.

2. Exercise throughout the teen years

Getting regular exercise may help you to grow taller during your teen years. Get out and work your muscles for at least 60 minutes/one hour each day.

3. Get adequate sleep each night

Sleeping is the time when your body grows. So, having plenty of sleep is equivalent to giving your body more time for growth. Get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep per night if you're a preteen or still younger than 20.

4. Try not to stunt your growth

Drugs and alcohol are both thought to contribute to stunted growth if they're ingested while you're young.

5. Have a good posture

Always stand straight instead of hunching your back. Spread out your shoulders slightly towards the back. Having a good posture will make you look much taller.

6. Expect to be in your twenties when you stop growing

If you haven't stopped puberty yet, then you haven't stopped growing. Try to be thankful that you have a little time to grow taller, instead of worrying about how tall you will be.
