One of the most important aspects of increasing your height if your diet. You need to give your body the perfect energy and nutrients that will allow you to increase your height. Foods such as milk which is high in calcium and protein helps this process along.

Did you know that the condition of your spine will affect your height as much as six inches? This is known as over compression of the spine and over 98% of people suffer from this condition. So what can you do about it? Well surgery is definitely not the answer, instead there is a particular exercise and diet plan to help correct this position and get rid of the excess curvature in the spine.

Height is not something as fixed as most people think. Try this tonight and see if it makes a difference for you.

Measure yourself tonight before you go to bed. Then do the same thing tomorrow morning. You'll be surprised to find that you are anything from 1/2 an inch to 2 inches taller in the morning. Why? The height difference is due to the decompression of your spine while you sleep horizontally on your bed.

Why do I never notice this, you may ask? Simply because everyone gets shorter at night, thus one can't really notice the difference if you don't measure yourself. But still, compression can vary depending on how much you weigh. If for example you are overweight your spine will compress faster in proportion to someone that is much lighter.

So, if you loose some weight, you will not only appear taller but your spine will not compress so fast and you will be taller.

Many people use this compression effect to their advantage by following such programs that will help them to retain and extend their height to several inches - by exploiting just this single effect.
