There is a saying, "I'm not small! It's the world that's too big!"
Many of us have spent our childhood hanging on the monkey bars or cycling for long hours just to stand shoulder to shoulder with our father but have failed to do so! Well, this is a case with a lot of us who think that if our height increases by two inches, it would make a big impact on our and others perspective about the way we live our lives.
A recent study tells us that a good height is not only restricted to the physical aspect but is also linked to higher IQ's, better job prospects and more positive outlook towards life.
Another research done in Britain suggests that the parent's height is an important factor but attaining a good height is not only about the genes.What we eat, how we live and think are equally important. But, regardless of what we eat and how we live, height growth has never been that easy.
If the modern cosmetic surgery and other methods are not what you are looking for, then this old fashion can just be your style.
