hey what's up guys now so many of you asked me hey Daniel how can I increase
my height? Or how can I grow taller? But can anything be done about it?
Well I'm gonna tell you so let's start the video
hey welcome to DLM model lifestyle! I'm Daniel and if you're new here please

now what determines your height? research shows there are two main things that
determines your height: the one is genetics the other is environmental
factors like diet. now around 60 to 80 percent of your height is determined by
genetics so you can't really do anything about it right but around twenty to
forty percent of your height is determined by environmental factors and
you can do something about your environmental factors that will help you
to grow taller. so I'm gonna give you a few tips to help you increase your
height: number one is always have a balanced diet, so eat a lot of protein
like eggs, poultry, soy, fish and good dairy products that help your bones grow
healthy and also your muscles also eat more calcium that is found in food like
green vegetables such as spinach, kale dairy products and so on and then get
more vitamin D which helps bone and muscle growth in kids. now this is very
important because if you do not get enough vitamin D then it can also stunt
your growth and it can also cause weight gain in girls. now vitamin D can be found
in certain foods like fish and mushrooms and even in some milks and you can also
get it from the Sun so go outside a little bit more and let the sunlight do
its job.
alright number two is exercise more. if you exercise a lot more in your teenage
years then it can help you to grow taller. with proper supervision and just
learning the right techniques, working out and just lifting some weights is
safe for all ages so go and join a gym or a sports team just to get more
exercise. number three get more sleep. you actually grow a lot more when you sleep
so if you're younger than 20 try to get between nine and eleven hours of sleep
because getting in a good amount of sleep will produce more HGH which is
your growth hormone. all right number four is stop using stuff that will stunt
your growth there's a lot of people under the age of
20 that uses things that stunt their growth without even knowing it.
like for example drugs and alcohol both of them are thought to contribute to
stunt growth and hey just so you know there's a lot of people out there that
believe if you use caffeine when you're young it's stunts your growth. that's
actually just a myth yeah it's not true. There's not enough scientific evidence that
backs it up but steroids yes that can absolutely
stunt your growth. now anabolic steroids inhibits bone
growth in children and in teens as well it also lowers sperm count, breast
size and even put you at a higher risk for heart attack. another example is
smoking: now smoking or children exposed to second-hand smoking are also proven
to stunt their growth so if there are some adults listening to this video stop
smoking in front of your kids alright now some of you asked me hey can
you increase your height after 18 well the truth is that for most people your
height will not increase after around 18 to 20
even if you do all these tips that I just talked about it's probably not
gonna happen why well it's because your growth plates in your bones close near
the end of puberty. the hormonal changes causes the growth plates to kind of
harden or close and then it stopped the lengthening of your bones and that's why
you cannot grow any taller. now if you are still unhappy about your height what
can you do? what are the options? well number one:
practice good posture if you have a bad posture you will look even shorter but
if your posture is better stand up straight
head straight you will look taller. number two: try heels or inserts all you
got to do is choose shoes with taller heels or add some inserts inside your
shoes just to add a few inches. number three: gain muscle to look and feel
bigger because if you feel small in general lifting some weights to gain
muscle can make you more bigger and give you more confidence. number four:
stretching and hanging it can reverse the compression of your spine making you
slightly taller by one percent but only until your spine compresses again so
it's not really a great tip but another tip is to style your hair up. if you
style your hair up it gives the impression that you're a little bit
taller as well all right now some people might be happy with just some of these
strategies but everybody is not happy of it so they resort to more extreme
measures like medical treatments. now in some of these treatments they lengthen
the bones of the lower leg but to me these treatments are expensive and
invasive. maybe that is why they are banned in so many countries as well.
apart from these treatments there are other people who are looking into the
treatments with the Growth hormone gh now although gh... well it works in
children who struggles to grow but as far as I know it's not gonna really help
adults but then again maybe you should just do your own research and look into it.
now honestly guys I believe that finding a way to accept your height is a
lot better compared to doing extreme measures. instead focus more on your
other strengths because ultimately there are a lot of stuff in this world that we
cannot change ourselves but we can change how we think and how we react to
those situations and so we can always strive to make the most of it alright
guys that's it if you liked the video give it a thumbs up subscribe and that's
it Cheers
