Height enhancement is the process through which a short individual can increase his height. This can include a number of techniques - surgery, exercise and diet, supplements and pills, or even height increasing shoes. In this article, I will talk about height enhancement and the various ways to accomplish it.

Before I dive into the meat of height enhancement, let me first tell you what doesn't work when it comes to increasing your height: supplements and pills. Regardless of how convincing the sales page might sound, you should not spend even a penny on some unknown, unapproved pill or powder that promises to help you grow taller. Remember, in the realm of height increase, if it does not require any effort on your part, it is best left untouched.

What does work when it comes to height enhancement are: height surgery, exercises and diet, wearing elevator shoes.

Height increase surgery is a sure shot way to add anything from 2-6 inches to your height. However, it is a terribly expensive and lengthy process, costing upwards of $60-100,000 and taking anything from 4-8 months, during which you will be confined to the hospital. Moreover, this is a procedure not approved in many countries, so you will have to get it done in a country like Russia or Japan. This surgery is also terribly painful, since you are literally cutting up bones. All these factors combined put this method beyond the reach of the average short individual who aspires to grow taller.

The second, more effective method is height enhancement through exercise and diet. This is a proven, highly effective method that is safe and completely natural. All that it requires from you is a dedication to work hard, and some solid guidance to walk you through the whole process. Since it does not require any surgery, supplements or pills, it is also very healthy and will actually make you fitter.

The last way to become taller is by wearing height increasing shoes. Keep in mind that these shoes won't actually make you taller - they will just make you appear taller. But for someone looking to increase his height by a couple of inches or more in a hurry, height increasing shoes are a very viable option.
