Spinal Column
The spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae. Between each
vertebrae there are discs made up of cartilage. Cartilage is
stretchable. You can grow taller by developing the cartilage
and increasing the spaces within the vertebrae. What you
will need to do is to strengthen the discs and increase their
elasticity.

Most people don‘t exercise, and they definitely don‘t take
the time to specialize in exercising the spinal column. What
ends up happening is that the spinal column begins to
compress and minimize the spaces within the vertebrae.
Thus, you won‘t be as tall as you could be.

Over time your spinal column will take form and not reach
it‘s maximum potential unless you do something about it.

You spinal column compresses daily because of gravity
when you are standing or sitting. However, when you sleep
straight on your back your spinal column straightens out
since gravity isn‘t pulling it down to the ground.

Want proof?
Ok, try this. Measure your height right before you go to
bed. Then measure your height right when you wake up.
You will probably be about an inch taller in the morning. The
heavier you are the more gravity pulls down on your spinal
column.

So therefore, you may be over an inch taller in the morning
as opposed to at night. Basically, the heavier you are, the
more you will shrink throughout the day.

What you will need to do is put the spine in traction,
basically decompressing it so you can increase the fluid
capacity in the discs. This will thicken and strengthen the
cartilage along the entire spinal column making it longer
and stronger. With a stronger spine, your body can better
resist the compressive forces of gravity.


Legs
Just like the spinal column, there is the capacity to lengthen
the legs within the thigh and shine bone areas. There are
gaps within the bones. By exploiting these gaps and
creating more gaps and widening them through certain
exercises, you can effectively lengthen the bones.

When you combine tension with compression you create
microscopic stress fractures. Have you ever had shin
splints? Shin splints are microscopic fractures that have
gotten too big and haven‘t been repaired quickly enough.

Now imagine if you could repair those big gaps caused by
the microscopic fractures before you lose the ability to
repair them. What would happen is that you will eventually
get taller.

The next section will talk about some interesting facts about
the height of people around the world.
