Re: hello sir,Is that possible to increase height through any special exercises

Dear Svinod,

I answered this question when another person inquired earlier. Here is the 
response I gave then:

Sorry, but exercise won't make you grow taller. The genes that you 
inherited from your parents and how well-nourished you are play the biggest 
role in the process. Together, these factors regulate how much you grow and 
when. In particular, there is a fingertip-sized gland sitting at the bottom 
of the middle of your brain called the pituitary, sometimes called "the 
master gland." The pituitary puts out biochemicals called hormones that 
circulate through your body and regulate many bodily functions. One of 
these is called growth hormone. Growth hormone is the key factor that 
controls how tall you grow to be, and the amount of it that gets produced 
can vary from year to year and even month to month as you grow. I have a 
brother who went from being one of the shorter boys in his 200-student high 
school class when he was 15 (156 cm) to being one of the tallest when he 
was 17 (192 cm). Nutrition can help, in the sense that undernourishment can 
cause growth to go more slowly. Eat well-balanced meals, with protein, 
vegetables, and all the vitamins and minerals you need. And of course, 
exercise is a great thing for keeping your body healthy and strong, thereby 
allowing all the factors that do regulate growth to do their thing in top 
form. But there aren't any specific exercise plans that will make you grow 
taller. 

Scientists have cloned the gene for human growth hormone, and so the 
purified factor is now available for doctors to use. But they only use it 
in special medical cases where severely low levels of growth hormone can 
cause problems. 

Hope this answers your question.
