We know how easy it is to be sceptical of much of what you hear online. Wild claims and broken promises litter the internet like candy from a busted pinata. You may have heard about these claims before and thought they were nothing but nonsense.
Though it's hard to believe, it is actually true, and we have methods you can test yourself detailed below to prove it. Stretching can and will increase the length of the targeted area, and when targeting the proper areas, increase height.
Take for instance, pitchers in major league baseball. Years of hurling baseballs at great velocity has stretched out the throwing arm of the majority of major league pitchers to the point where they're 1-2 inches longer than their non-throwing arm on average.
In fact, most humans with a dominant arm will find that arm to be an inch longer than their other arm, through the simple additional stretching that the dominant arm endures through everyday use. You can go ahead and measure the length of your own arms right now. Don't be surprised in the least if your dominant arm is at least slightly longer than your other arm.
Arm length of course has nothing to do with height, but it's a good starting test to demonstrate the reality of these concepts. For height gain we'll need to target mainly the legs and the spine.
Targeting the spine with stretching exercises strengthens the discs in your back, and increases the length of space between the many vertebrae in the spine, increasing height.
Here's another fun task you can perform to see just how flexible the spinal column truly is, and how the contracting and expanding of it is no myth. The daily rigors of walking and standing, and the forces of gravity on your spine actually work to compress it as the day extends. When you sleep (assuming you don't sleep standing up of course), your spine will decompress, as the pressures of gravity are taken off it.
Measure your height just before you go to bed, and then again immediately after waking up. You should find that you're a good inch taller in the morning than you were the night before. Now you can see that through strengthening the discs and cartilage in the spine, this separation of the vertebrae can be maintained, giving you a permanent increase in height.
Hopefully you've enjoyed these tasks, which are proof positive that the proper stretching exercises can result in a permanent increase in height, no witch doctors necessary. - 15995
