“Scientifically speaking, the universal notion that at or about the age of 25, the joints have attained their permanent condition of growth, is now seen to have been erroneous,” anthropologists of the famed Smithsonian Institute said. According to them, height measurements indicate that men and women of 40 are still growing, some even up to the 50th or 60th year. It sounds incredible, doesn't it?
But recent evidence confined by the noted anthropologist, Dr. Ales Hardlika, indicates that growth can continue until age 40 or shortly after. Some noted men who made the same studies on a persons height were Dr. Henry G. Beyers, M.D.,United States Navy; Dr. E.H. Bradford, from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal; Dr. Rene Ledent from Annales de Medicine Physique et Biologique; Robert Roaf, from the Journal of Bone and Surgery; and Dr. P. de Puky, M.D. from Acta Orthopedica Scandinavia.
Dr. Henry G. Beyers in the Journal of Experimental Medicine in his article, The Influence of Exercise on Growth, wrote “...... any increase in measured standing height discovered within a few years, after 20 could be caused by a change in posture, the correction of a stoop or merely improved tone of muscle or expansion of invertebral discs induced by physical training.” T'he experience of one Clifford Atkins of New York, 54 years old, confirmed this.
He testified that his height increased by 1-1/2 inches after performing the specific and recommended exercises. Many are shorter than they should be only because of a bad posture, which causes or aggravates the curvature in the spine. By correcting bad posture alone, others reported an increase in height by 2 or 3 inches. Another way of increasing one's height is by stretching the elastic vertebral discs of the spine.
These two methods alone can greatly effect the change. But how do you make use of these methods? Will you need some apparatus? Some gadgets or exercisors? Injections? No. All you have to do is to perform some simple, tested exercises for a few minutes a day, right in your own home. These exercises are all contained in this blog.
