One should not lose hope even though the fact still remains that a human being reaches a certain point in his life when he or she stops growing. No therapy or operation can alter that but there are natural ways to get taller and increase your height growth.

Certain stretches can be done to enhance your height growth along with a few exercise routine that can not only make you grow taller, but stronger as well.

Here are some simple height increasing stretches that you can do:

* Cat Stretch- This is a stretch where you are on all fours of your hands and knees with your back arched. Then dip your back downward with your head tilted and hold that stretch for 5-10 seconds.

* Super Snake Stretch- Have your back on the floor with your arms at your side. Curl your back like a reverse arch and tuck in your chin. Then arch your back lifting your hips still keeping your chin tucked in. Hold yourself in that position for as long as you can or for about 10-20 seconds. Do about five repetition.

* Hamstring Stretch- Sit on the floor or mat with your legs spread far apart. Lean forward and try to touch the tip of your toes without bending your knees. Then lean on each leg separately and repeat. Your breathing is very important when it comes to exercising and stretching. So breath out when you are reaching forward to touch your toes.

* Sprints- Do quick runs either indoors or outdoors. * Kicking- While your standing kick your legs up as high as you can.
