How to Gain Height After 22
Women can easily gain height by wearing a pair of high heels. On the other hand, it is not that easy for a man to increase his height in that manner. A select few inches that you are short off can hurt your feelings. Your body produces less human growth hormone and your growth gradually decreases after you hit puberty. If you believe you have not grown to your full potential, there are a number of things you can try to do as an adult to gain height, ranging from wearing different shoes to undergoing surgery.

1
Exercise regularly
Do stretching exercises for at least 20 minutes on a daily basis. These lengthen your spine and thicken the cartilage that bears your spine, arms and legs. Stretching exercises can help you gain height for up to three inches. Leg stretch should be part of your exercise routine.
Lie on the floor and spread your legs making a V shape. Reach for your feet and grab onto your toes. Tilt your upper body to the right side and bring your head as close as you can to your right knee. Position your spine flat and avoid bending your back. Stretch for 15 seconds without moving and then switch sides. -

Cat stretch
Perform the cat stretch by going down on your hands and feet. Inhale and position your spine inward and represent the curvature of your back. Maintain this position for five seconds. Breathe out and round your back upwards as far as you can and hold this stretch for another five seconds. -

Contact your physician
Consult your medical doctor about taking human growth hormone injections. This is because human growth hormone production slows down as you age. By injecting your body’s natural human growth hormone, you raise bone density and muscle mass, which in turn increase your height. -

Elevator shoes
Buy elevator shoes. These shoes have a big sole built in them and they will add two to five inches to your height. Interestingly, people cannot tell that your height is more because of these shoes, as the soles are built inside the shoes. You can also put height increasing insoles in your footwear. These soles can be used in almost all of your shoes. They are available in different heights and add up to two inches to your frame. Moreover, limb-lengthening surgery is also effective and your legs get longer in this case.
