Some people who are not happy with their current height will scour the internet for information on how they can increase their height. They will often go to the search engines and search for "grow taller stretches" as they have heard that by doing these exercises they can make themselves taller. While some may think that this is all nonsense the truth is that through a combination of nutrition and exercise you can gain some inches in height. This is especially true if you are young and in your teens as once we reach our twenties the ability to gain extra height diminishes quite rapidly. In this article I will name a couple of exercises that you can do to help you gain some extra height.

Ok the first exercise or stretch to be more precise is the "Cobra"; this involves lying down on your stomach like you are getting ready to do a push up. Instead of pushing up your whole body however you only push up from the waist up. Now at first you may not be able to extend your arms fully but if you keep doing it on a regular basis you will notice that you will get more flexible and it will be easier to do. Once it gets real easy start tilting your head back towards your feet. After mastering this you may want to start bending your legs at the knees and start pointing your feet at your head like you are trying to touch them. Definitely not for the beginner!

The "Yawn" is another stretching exercise and you have probably already done this without being aware of its potential benefits. All you do is stand up with your arms at the side with your head lowered towards the ground then slowly raise your arms up sideways while lifting your head and finish with your arms over your head, just like you have probably done many times on the side of your bed after getting up.

These two grow taller stretches are just the beginning and as I have mentioned you need a good diet to go along with them.
