For some people, height is linked to self-esteem and the way you feel people view you. Not being as tall as you wish can sometimes have a big impact on self-confidence and foster a sense of inadequacy. However, is it actually possible to grow in statue once your natural growing- cycle is complete and you make the transition from late-adolescence to early adult-hood?
If you want to be taller there are several options you can pursue: Firstly you can wear shoes and dress in a manner that extenuates and exaggerates your height – allowing you to make the most of what you already have. This can be achieved by wearing foot-wear with larger insoles or heels. Also dark colours such as grey, black and brown can help create a more imposing presence and generally make you look, “bigger”.
Another successful means to achieving greater self-esteem is to exercise regularly, and make life-style and diet changes. This allows you to feel more “comfortable in your own skin” and in certain instances, regular exercise in late-adolescence when combined with a well-balanced diet and getting a good night’s sleep whenever possible, has led to an increased height. Even if your height doesn’t change, regular exercise can also produce a larger body-shape which will also make you appear, “bigger”.
So whilst increasing your height can’t be achieved overnight with a form of, “miracle treatment”, you can increase your body-size if you follow some of the simple steps described. Hormone tablets also exist which have the potential to increase height, but you should exercise caution before taking this approach. As in many other cases, using natural resources are much better for you.
