People who want to be taller will go to any lengths to achieve being it. Perhaps one of the oldest obsessions mankind has besides losing weight is growing taller. Some would go through any kind of growth supplements, experimental treatments or operations that even remotely sounds promising in giving an extra two inches or more to their body height.

The fact still remains that a human being reaches a certain point in his life when he or she stops growing. No growth supplements, therapy or operation can alter that. However, one should not lose hope. There are natural ways to increase your body height and get taller.

A few exercise routine along with certain stretches can enhance your growth. Not only can it make you grow taller but it can make you stronger as well.

Here are some simple height increasing stretches that you can do:

* Cat Stretch- Get on your hands and knees with your back arched. Then with your head tilted dip your back downward and hold that position for at least 5-10 seconds.

* Super Snake Stretch- Lay on your back with your arms at our side and arch your back downward with your chin tucked in your chest. Then arch your back upward lifting your hips up still keeping your chin tucked in your chest. Hold yourself in that position for as long as you can or for 10-20 seconds. Do about five repetition.

* Hamstring Stretch- Sit on the floor or mat with your legs spread far apart. Lean forward and try to touch the tip of your toes without bending your knees. Then lean on each leg separately and repeat. Your breathing is very important when it comes to exercising and stretching. So breath out when you are reaching forward to touch your toes.

* Sprints- Do quick runs either indoors or outdoors. * Kicking- While your standing kick your legs up as high as you can.

* Cycling- Try to do an hour a day either on stationary bicycle or on a regular bicycle around your neighborhood.

* Jumping Jacks- Do at least 100 jumping jacks for an hour or 50 jumping jacks in 30 minutes.

* Jumping Rope- Jump rope for 30 minutes daily.

* Pull Up Bars- Pull yourself up until your chin touches the top of the bar and hold that position for at least 10 seconds. Do not hang your chin on the bar, it is completely unnecessary and potentially dangerous.

Give yourself a few minutes everyday for a daily routine. These height advancing stretches are easy to do and can be done in a short period of time.
