Increase your height…RIGHT NOW!!

The soul is beyond the body and hence from this perspective, it is immaterial how tall or short a person is. The true height of a person is his or her character and deeds.

Yet, tall height is a natural ambition of humans. I agree that in the current context it is partly because of the glamour associated with tall height. If that were the driver for any urge for height increase, the efforts would defeat the purpose. Because the true purpose of height increase should stem from an earnest desire to achieve as much of our potential as we can. A tall height represents complete growth of the body and hence we should endeavour to achieve that complete growth.

Height does vary from person to person as per his or her genetics, climate and other conditions. Thus, blanket comparison of height with others is not a right approach. Instead, the correct approach should be to keep as healthy as possible to gain complete growth of the body.

I was born as a medium height child. Till the age of 17, my height did not grow much. At age of 17, at just above 5 feet, I was among the short students of my class and often ridiculed for being short and thin. Very honestly, at times I did feel humiliated. I avoided public company to the extent possible. The matter got worse because I could see many other boys who were shorter than me a few years ago now surpassing me.

But for once, I decided to no more rationalize and act as an ostrich. I decided to take my concern head-on. I changed my complete life-pattern. For next two years, I committed to new patterns and by the time I was nineteen, I was 5‘11” and had an extremely flexible and agile body. Today, I have a height of above 6 feet.

In this part of the book, I would share those tips that I followed in my height transformation process. I am sure these will benefit one and all in achieving their maximum potential.

Tip 1 : Mind Power

Our body responds to our thoughts. As per our thought patterns, appropriate hormones are secreted and physiological changes happen accordingly. Positive thoughts reverse the ageing process and improve health. Negative thoughts accelerate the ageing process and stunt growth.

 

Thus, first critical step for height gain is to reprogram your thought patterns. Not only it will help you increase height, but also bring benefits in all areas of your life.

 

To me, it made me a diligent person that helped me get admission in IIT. Here are specific suggestions on mind programming for height-gain:

 

  • Refuse to accept that you are born unhealthy and short. Visualize yourself as having the most perfect health and live every moment in that vision.
  • Stop compromising on matters of quality. Keep demanding as much as you can think of, from yourself.
  • Imagine that your height is increasing every moment with every movement of yours.
  • Stop traits of anger, helplessness and dejection.
  • Remember that will power is the key. Once you get a good grasp on it, rest would work automatically. If you try out these tips without strong will-power, it would never work. This secret gets you everything you want in life.

Tip 2 : Change your food habits

Simply stop junk, fried, spicy and oily food. I cannot stress further the importance of simple, nutritious, healthy food. Our body is made out of food we eat. We grow from a baby of few inches to a full-grown adult only through the food we eat. Food is the raw material used to build our building that we call a body. How can you expect a strong building to be built if you use inferior raw material from a junkyard?

 

Following are certain recommendations that have helped me:

  • Eating at least two hours before sleep
  • Having a light dinner
  • Regular consumption of sprouts
  • Having a regular eating schedule and avoiding the habit of munching every now and then
  • Avoiding consumption of tea, coffee, cold drinks, ice cream, chocolates etc.
  • Regular use of Triphala powder in the night or early morning
  • Eating lots of fresh fruits
  • Drinking lots of water
  • Walking for 10-15 minutes after meals
  • Eating soaked almonds in morning. The Gulbandi variety is best
  • Eating in Sukhasan. This posture is a wonderful gift of our ancient seers

Tip 3 : Exercise enough

The human body is built to work hard and live actively. More we avoid physical labour, more we become prone to underdevelopment, faster ageing and ailments.

 

Make a habit of doing rigorous workouts at least thrice a week and normal exercises in rest of the days.

 

My routine in those days was as follows:

  • Waking up by 5 am and having a variety of workouts till 8 am. These include mix and match of following:
  • Running and jogging
  • Flexibility and stretching
  • Martial Arts practice
  • Asans and Pranayams
  • Meditation

 

In the evening, I used to go for Taekwondo exercises thrice a week. The practice of high kicks is extremely beneficial. On Sundays, we used to go to play cricket. This active routine worked wonders on my body and activity.

Tip 4 : Learn Taekwondo

Would request all health-seekers to join martial-arts lessons close-by. Taekwondo differs from other martial arts. In taekwondo, the emphasis is on high kicks and free stretching which helps the body grow. In many other martial arts, focus is on restricting body movements within a small region. Thus, it seems to restrict the height of a person.

Tip 5 : Avoid weight-training

Similarly, weight-training should be avoided for first 20 years of life. That should be replaced with free hand exercises like pushups.

Tip 6 : Practice various postures (asanas)

Many claim that Yogasan can help increase height. I even saw a video on it by a celebrated Hatha yogi. He gave a passionate speech in the video that seemed to showcase short height as a source of all miseries and inferiority complex. Ironically, the Hatha yoga guru himself appeared not more than five and a half feet!

 

The fact is that Hatha yoga is being overemphasized bit too much these days and its benefits are being over-inflated as a marketing gimmick. Certain Asians do benefit but in essence, it’s the overall package of a healthy lifestyle which is effective. Replace these Hathasans with any kind of aerobic physical activity and results would be exactly the same. Perhaps even more!

 

Having said this, certain postures are quite useful for height growth. These should be added to one’s fitness routine – chakrasana, halasana, sarvangasana, pashchimatanasana, pavanmuktasana, hastapadasana, mayurasana.

Tip 7 : Do Pranayams

Among Pranayams, the only pranayams I have found to be truly effective are Bahya Pranayam, Abhyantara and Chaturtha Pranayama. These provide all the benefits that are claimed from a variety of breathing practices like Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika etc. These pranayams with rigorous cardio in open air gives all the benefit you desire from a fitness regime. Do ensure that you develop a habit of deep breathing.

Tip 8 : Sleep early, wake up early

Sleep well. More you work out, more the rest required by your body. Especially for growth, you should ensure that you do not deprive your body from much-needed rest.

 

Sleep early. Work so hard in the day that you tend to fall asleep by 10 pm. Wake up by 5 or 6 depending on your comfort. I prefer varying the waking time as per my body needs. Avoid late night sittings.

Tip 9 : Keep spine straight

While standing, try to stretch your entire body up. At times come on your toes for a full stretch. You can even raise your hands for a fuller stretch. In more formal occasions, you can stand normally and yet try stretching your entire body without raising your toes. Keep doing it every now and then. If you are in a bus, try if you can stretch up without coming on toes and touch the ceiling with the head.

 

Do not settle in one static position for long. Keep moving and changing postures. Remain active and give body a small workout every moment.

Tip 10 : Master your mind

Needless to say, all of this works only with a perfect control over the mind. Make a habit of challenging your mind with even more control every moment. Once the mind is mastered, the world will be at your feet, height is a petty thing.

 

To develop this mastery and realize what the real fun of life is, following is advised. More you practice, more you gain:

  • Stop putting your mind in all form of sensory inputs that tend to promote lustful thought patterns – romantic/vulgar songs, movies, literature, company. These generate hormones which speed up the ageing process and stunt complete natural growth.
  • Stop watching the idiot box. Apart from dumbing the mind, it makes your breath shallow and hence causes stunted growth.
  • Similarly, avoid video games, iPods and other mind-dumbing tools.
  • Stop digging too much into the stale newspaper. Use it only for keeping you updated. Filling your mind with depressing stories of past, the first thing in the morning is the worst treatment you can give to yourself who is naturally programmed to be always forward-looking.
  • Prepare actionable plans. Avoid discussions and analyses which have no relevance to practical application and are merely time-wasters.
  • Needless to say, avoid all acts which lead to loss of vital energy and semen.

Stretch to your fullest potential!

    • i have a wazifa for u my friend iss page par aik wazifa written hai do that wazifa mere naam se aik wazifa hai for u.

  2. Hi.Namaste!i am 16 years od and i have read your article..It was good enough to motivate me.Thank You! I just want to ask…My current height is 5 ft 2 inches.my father is about 164 cm and my mother is about 149 cm.i feel ashamed because i’m the shortest boy in my class..will I grow taller?Please email me ([email protected]).REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP…THANKS FOR YOUR MOTIVATING ARTICLE!!

  3. Hello
    I am 17, turning 18 in September. I am about 172 cm tall. My father is about as tall as me, or a cm or two taller, and my mother is about 4’11” – 5′. I have been so depressed for the past two years about my height. Since last year’s beginning, I have been doing jumps with my hands straight up in the air but that hasn’t helped me a lot, as I’ve gained only about 3-4 cms from last year to now. I have gained about 1-2 cms this year. As both my father’s and mother’s lineages are pretty hairy, I am also but not to that extent, actually in comparison to how hairy my father or my uncles are, I am very less hairy. My arms and my face have gradually gotten hairier over the past two years and that robs me of hope. I want to exercise so much but I’m not able to. This august i’ll be joining an engineering college. As you also went to IIT, please tell me how did you manage your schedule of exercises and kept yourself motivated. I have also had suicidal intentions, but had I such will power to commit suicide, I would already have worked extremely hard and been tall. I would be grateful if you could please make a daily schedule for me, if you could mail it to me, nothing better, other please atleast post here. I would also like if you could be in touch with me and please motivate me, because I tend to do better when I’m motivated, like if you could please ask me everyday about what I did through e-mail and what more I should do, I’d be extremely grateful. Please understand my problem and please help me. I have not been able to explain my situation through words here but probably you’ll understand what I am going through now as you yourself were in this situation.
    Thanking you
    Yours faithfully

  31. please tell me one thing.i am 18 years old. i did yoga and stretching for 2 months but didi not even gain an inch.It would be very kind of you if you answered my questions
    1.i did weightlifting for 2 months but stopped it when i came to know it stunts growth.will i increase my height
    2.does hanging increase height.if so how many times do i have to hang and how long.
    3.does masturbation realy stop growth.Do i have to refrain from masturbation to increase height.
    4.if iam unable o sleep for 8 hours continously.Can i sleep 6 hours at night and 2 hours after lunch.
    5.Can i drink milk before sleep.
    6.does saying these words”iam growing i will grow” rally inrease height.if ia do not have positive thoughts about height,will i not grow.

    • Gaining height in 2 months is not possible. It will take at least an year.
      1. Weightlifting at young age seem to stunt height unless supplemented by very good food and rest.
      2. Not necessarily. Hanging strengthens back muscles but not necessarily increase height.
      3. It is actually a bad practice. Brings hormonal changes that makes you mature faster. Keep thoughts clean, focus on positive things and you will not find a need for it.
      4. You can, but sleep immediately after food may not be advisable. Eat light. 6 hours sleep can also suffice if it is sound.
      5. We suggest not to eat or drink anything at least 1 hour within sleep.
      6. Positive thoughts help. But not necessarily saying I will grow. Simply say to yourself that you are putting your best and God will do best justice with you. Leave everything to him. You focus on work and not results.

      • sir i m masturbating once a week n i m excrsing daily does any problems 4 mah hyt …??? n i also follow ur hyt increasing tips plz rply fst i m waiting plz sir…

      • Masturbation will result into seminal leakage.This would result in the fall in the testosterone level which will decrease production of RBCs reducing the strength.So,I advise you to keep Brahmacharya.Stop Masturbating.

  32. Dear Agniveeer,
