What is the secret to growing taller after 18?

Everyone's physical conditions are different, especially people's height will be affected by genetic factors and many acquired conditions. Usually, people will tend to grow taller before the age of 18. However, after the age of 18, many people stop growing in height. So if you still want to grow taller after the age of 18, what are the methods and secrets?

Tips to grow taller after 18:

1. Sleep

Ensuring adequate sleep is a necessary condition for growing taller. Don't stay up late. Sometimes your legs may kick when you sleep, which may be a sign of growth.

2. Diet: Of course, balanced nutrition is also important. Don't be picky about food.

1. Beverages: You can choose milk and soy milk. If you are afraid of gaining weight, choose skim or low-fat milk. The benefit is calcium supplementation, and drinking some at night can also improve sleep if you suffer from insomnia.

2. Vegetables: Carrots are rich in vitamins A and D. Carrots are fat-soluble, so more oil is needed for frying. There are also many high-calcium varieties of vegetables: 100 grams of Chinese mustard greens contain 230 mg of calcium; Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, fennel, coriander, celery, etc. also contain about 150 mg of calcium per 100 grams. Kelp is also a high-calcium seafood. Eating 25 grams a day can supplement 300 mg of calcium. They can also lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis. Kelp is a delicious dish whether cooked with meat or served cold after being cooked.

3. Meat: Eat meat high in protein, snails and animal blood. Pork shank bones are used to make soup. Shrimp skin is high in calcium, so add some shrimp skin when cooking. Soybeans and pork leg bones are often used to make soup. More than 80% of animal bones are calcium, but it is insoluble in water and difficult to absorb. Therefore, when making it into food, you can crush it in advance, add vinegar and simmer it over low heat. When eating, remove the floating oil and add some vegetables to make a delicious soup.

3. Exercise

Sports that require jumping are preferred. Like basketball, every new day, a substance is added to the joints of the human body. After a day of running-in, the body will be consumed, and exercise can reduce this consumption to a minimum. This allows it to be firmly absorbed into the bones during sleep. This is why some people ask why they are taller in the morning than in the evening. Half of your height is due to certain genetic factors.

1. Draping method:

Hold the horizontal bar tightly with both hands and let your body hang in the air. It is best if your toes can lightly touch the ground when hanging down, and then do pull-ups. Boys can do it 10-15 times a day. Girls can do it 2-5 times a day. The key to the exercise is: exhale when doing pull-ups and inhale when slowly descending. After completing the exercise, walk around to relax your muscles. After your hands are relaxed, clench your fists tightly, place your hands in front of your chest, then loosen your fingers, then open your eyes, open your mouth, relax your brows, relax your facial muscles, and then lie on the bed to relax the muscles in your back and arms. In short, learn to exert maximum effort and relax as much as possible.

After practicing the hanging method for a while, you can do incremental stretching on this basis. The method is to hang for 20 seconds first, then tie a 5 kg sandbag to each leg, and hang for another 20 seconds; after that, fix it to the horizontal bar with a belt, hang for 15 seconds, then put on a 10 kg iron sand vest, and hang for another 15 seconds. However, time and weight are not absolute and may vary from person to person.

2. Jumping method:

Jump with your feet and use your hands to touch tree branches, basketball hoops, ceiling, etc. Do 10 times in a set, jumping up for 5-7 seconds each time, with 4-5 minutes interval between each set. Try to keep your body in the maximum possible stretch. In addition, you should regularly participate in basketball, volleyball and swimming. When grabbing the basketball and dunking the ball, you must jump hard and actively fight for every high point ball. Because jumping is the main training content, you should jump with all your strength about 200 times a day.

3. Traction method:

Stand on a 20-30 meter high mound, relax and accelerate to run down, then lie prone on the ground, with the help of two partners, one holding the practitioner's wrists, the other holding the practitioner's lower calves, both of them exert force in opposite directions at the same time, pulling the torso 2-3 times, each time for 12-15 minutes, and repeat 6-10 times.

This series of exercises can help correct physical defects such as short legs, spinal curvature, flat feet and "O" legs, promote bone growth, and regulate nervous and endocrine functions as well as various physiological functions to their optimal state, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing height. The most important thing is to be serious and persistent.
