How to increase height: Tips to increase height


If you are looking to increase your height, certain yoga postures can be very helpful in boosting your efforts to add the inches! It is essential to remember that these postures are not designed for the sole purpose of height gain. They are merely corrective and curative measures. They target the root cause for poor height and correct it, allowing for proper height gain. For example if your body has poor metabolism, or imbalanced hormonal function, these yoga postures will correct them, enabling your body to optimize its growth rate uninterrupted. Of course, these postures are more effective when practiced by growing children. The effect for grown adults will be less pronounced in comparison.
