The increase in the length of our body is a complex process and controlled by many reasons, which are the most important genetic and genetic factors, and then followed by proper nutrition of the body and then the health of the body.
The proportion of the length of the human body increases by increasing the length of the large bones inside, which is the skeleton in it and most important thigh bone and then the bones of the leg and then the bones of the rib cage.
The bone of the human at birth is soft, especially at the beginning or end of each bone in the body or in an area called the bone slide, and this region consists of a group of cartilages, which in turn are able to grow rapidly and automatically, especially in early childhood, From birth until the age of five years.
After that, the rate of bone growth decreases for a period and is due to the rapid increase in puberty, the effect of growth hormone and sex hormones, up to 18 years of age in girls and 21 years to 23 years in young people. Calcium is deposited in the bone slide area, And prevents it from growing as fast as before.
However, there are special cases where the length of the human is increased abnormally, if the pituitary was disturbed or increased growth hormone secretion in pre-puberty, as well as increased thyroxine production and thyroid disorder before puberty as well.
Recently, some people have undergone surgery (Elizarov) to lengthen the legs, where a device is installed in the leg or thigh and remains there for 6 months and sometimes reaches not much.
In contrast, the length of a person may be less than the normal rate of growth hormone secretion before reaching puberty, low thyroid production before puberty, chronic pre-pubertal diseases such as tuberculosis and cancer, or severe malnutrition And chronic.
In order to extend the body during the period in which the body can lengthen, one hour can be allocated for swimming every day, because of the contribution of swimming to bone growth and increase in length, as the pressure on the joints and bones resulting from gravity is significantly reduced, It goes on longer.
The validity of this theory has been proven scientifically. There is a study that showed that the phenomenon of the height of the swimmers global return to the practice of swimming permanently and continuously and they usually increase their lengths of the two meters.
It is not only swimming but the constant practice of jumping sports such as basketball and volleyball have an effect, because jumping has a clear effect on the rate of increased bone growth.
This can be done by grasping and bending a stabilized rod about 2 meters high, being able to withstand body weight, and in addition to exercise and exercise, it is very important to sleep for hours at night Equivalent to 8 hours a day, while continuing to drink water at least two liters a day.
