There is no magic pill or special insole that is going to help you grow taller. Yes, it is possible to grow taller with the right nutrition, exercises and mindset you will increase your height. The most important part of your body that can be manipulated to help you grow inches is your spine. In order to increase your height, you will have to focus on stretching and making your spine longer.

Your spinal column consists of 33 separate bones that are called vertebrae. 24 of these vertebrae are never fused together which means that there is room for you to add height. There are soft tissue pads called inter-vertebral discs that are found between your vertebrae. The purposes of these inter- vertebral discs are to keep your vertebrae from rubbing against each other and causing you pain.

You can exercise and stretch these discs to make them thicker, to make the blood circulation and the fluid content of the discs increase. And when your inter-vertebral discs expand, your spinal column lengthens. The longer you make your spinal column, the more your height will increase. Your spinal column makes up about 35 percent of your overall total height. This means that most people can increase there height by 2-3 inches or more through stretching exercises and good nutrition.

There are tons of people all over the world who have grown taller by 2-3 inches even after puberty simply by performing exercises to stretch and lengthen there spines and you can also!
