New Delhi: A lot of people are not satisfied with their height. Almost everyone must have once wished to be a tad bit taller. Some people remain short due to genetic makeup and other factors like exercise, nutrition, and environmental conditions.
Yoga can make you grow taller by addressing a few key issues. Essentially, yoga stretches your spine, lengthens your back and leg muscles, and improves your posture. It also detoxifies your body, thus spurring the growth of healthy cells. A regular and consistent yoga schedule reduces stress and relaxes you. This, in turn, releases growth hormones which increase the height naturally.
Here’s list Of Yoga Asana:
Tadasana (Mountain pose)
Tadasana or the Mountain pose stretches all muscles of your body. Your body feels the elongation of the pose, which also facilitates the formation of growth hormones by the body.
How to do it: Start by standing straight with your neck, waist, and legs aligned in a straight line. Keep your hands on the sides and your feet together. Inhale and lift your arms upward towards the sky. Now slowly stand on your toes by lifting your heels. Stretch your body as much as possible. Now return to the original position.
Bhujangasana (Cobra pose)
Bhujangasana stretches the muscles on your lower back, upper back, and stomach. It helps in lowering the bad fat around your waist. It is also one of the best yoga asanas to increase your height.
