Increase Height

Now we shall give here the proper suggestions for the growth of the body, which will help you to get a solution of your problems.

The diet of children

Our suggestion in this regard is that the children should be given such a diet which will make their bones strong and also increase their height. To achieve this end, you should give them pulses, ghee, butter, milk and rice in sufficient quantity. If this may not be possible, you may give them some of the following items in their breakfast. These are eggs, fish, tomato, apples, grapes or almond.
At the time of lunch, you should give them the soup of boiled nourishing vegetables such as beans. On special occasions you may give them dry fruits such as dry resins and dates. The menu of the food at night can be fixed according to their taste. The meals at night should be lighter than the one in the morning, *so that it may easily be digested.

Out of the liquid diets, you may give the children barley water, ovaltine, coco, along with other fruit juices. These drinks should be taken an hour after the meals.

The parents, who are desirous of developing the body of the child and increasing its height, should give nourishing diet to their children. Some children do not like the pulses, rice and vegetables, but want to eat pastries, tasty and fried snacks and sweets. Some like only potato and others want to eat Vajmah’ only.
The parents should not yield to the obstinacy of the children, in such a condition. On the contrary, they should be explained u;ith foue that tuhen only one item of food is taken, some ingredients become excessive in body, tuhich is harmful. When other items of food are not taken, the body becomes weak, which gauderies to a number of new diseases. We believe that the children will value your arguments and your job will become easy.

Perhaps you have not cared to observe that some ladies and gents appear to be taller and more impressive, when they put on proper dress while there are other persons, whose stature is not short, but they look short stature for they do not put on proper dress. Its main reason is their selection of proper or improper dress. •
These days the fashion of putting on tight dresses seems . to be on the increase. People put on tight shirts, tight pants, tight waist-coats or jackets. The ladies put on tight shirts, tight ’salwars’ or tight blouses. If you look to their shoes, you will find them also to be tight. If you ask its reason from them, they would say, “It is the fashion these days.”
What is fashion?

To put on clothes, as other people do, is called fashion. It is not very good for the people to remain distinct from the rest knowingly, but blind imitation is something very bad. In so far as the fashion of putting on tight clothes is concerned, it is defective. (Luckily the attention of certain people has gone in this direction and an opinion has grown against it.)
The development of the body of a human being takes place in the same way as the growth of plants and trees. While planting trees, we take care to see that their roots get sufficient space to grow. Their roots should get sufficient water from the ground to suck. They should get sufficient air and sun-shine. Only then it is possible for the plant or tree to grow and yield fruits and flowers.
If you are in the habit of putting on tight clothes, your body cannot grow properly. It is not a fact that tight clothes are just uncomfortable. Our body is continuously growing. If we shall afford proper opportunity to it, it will grow. This can only happen when we will put on such clothes as would afford proper opportunity to it to move all the parts of our body freely.
The growth of the legs of such children is retarded, who put on tight pants qr tight ‘churidar payjama’. In the same way, the girls should not put on tight clothes. It is harmful to put on tight banyians, underwears, tight shorts, tight shirts, bush-shirts, coats and waist-coats. They ‘hinder the growth of chest, thighs and arms. Tight cuffs and collars are also harmful. The growth of the neck stops, if tight collars are put on. The growth of the wrists is also hindered on account of tight cuffs of shirts

Yes, as we have already told you the thyroid gland is an endocrine gland on account of which the hormone directly mixes with the blood. It is a ductless gland.

The thyroid gland is associated with the weight of a person. On the basis of recent researches, the experts have arrived at the conclusion that the activity of the thyroid gland creates an unprecedented increase in the height of a person in young age^ Nevertheless, it is true that in the phenomenon of increase in stature, other glands, too, have their role to play. Even then this can be definitely stated that if this gland does not function properly, the development is not normally possible.
According to experts, “It is very difficult to study the general functions of this gland in an average individual. To Understand its function, the best course is to observe the defects which are found (in a human organism) when this gland does not function properly or when it is removed from the body of a person. In that condition, the growth of the bones is stopped or the bones are deformed or mis-shaped. The sexual maturity of a person becomes slow or is stopped. The skin become dry. The muscles grow weak and fatigue occurs. Not only this, the development of the body stops—the stature remains short and a growing body too tends to become short.

“From the study of the above defects, one thing becomes very clear that the thyroid gland affects all the cells of the body and, therefore, it is very significant..,.”
Now let us look at its reverse. If the thyroid gland becomes hyper-active, the result will be-just different. The heart-beat increases, the appetite increases all at once, but after having taken food in an unusual quantity, the person become dull all of a sudden. The person feels very great energy and enthusiasm in him, and becomes very much restless. The skin becomes moist. The temperature of the body increases, and the quantity of glucose in it becomes more than normal.

It need not be said, that the claim of increasing the height can be made in such circumstances, but the person should be treated by an expert physician, otherwise the desired results will not be forthcoming.

In the nineteenth century, there were many fields in the inland regions, which were called ‘Goiter Zones’, for the inhabitants of such places mostly suffered from the hypo-activity of the thyroid glands. They were administered iodine, which led to the disappearance of the disease, and their normal growth began again in its natural form.
If you are anxious to increase your height, follow our course according to the technique outlined and you will find that you have/improved a lot and you are on the path of progress.

The structure of the human body is very complex. Our body is made of innumerable cells. These cells are divided into a number of groups which are called tissues. Certain tissues form the external surface of the body, while others join other tissues. Some tissues go to form ‘muscles’ while others form ‘nerves’. An organ is formed by a group of tissues. These organs can be made strong and can be developed by giving proper exercise and movements to them.
As you are aware, there are nine main organ systems in our body. Their brief descriptions are given below:
(1) The Skeletal System: It provides the skeleton for the body. There are many bones in it, whose joints are interconnected with several connecting tissues. Thus a man can direct the various movements of his body. The back-bone has a special place in the human skeleton. (It is also closely related to the stature of a man)
(2) The Muscular System:—Us function is to help in the performance of movements of the different parts of the human body such as head, neck, arms, trunk, legs etc. It performs the function of blood circulation and sends the food in the food pipe of the body. All the activities of our body are governed by this system.

(3) The Digestive System:—Its function is to digest the food which generates energy. (The undigested food is also passed out in the form of stool through this system.)

(4) The Breathing System:—To get energy from the food that is digested, oxygen is necessary. This system helps in the procurement of oxygen. It also helps our body to send out carbon dioxide gas from it.

(5) The Circulatory System:—This system is responsible for sending the energy procured from the nourishing elements of our food and the oxygen procured from the air, to all the parts of the body. All the cells of our body require these things, i.e., energy and oxygen. Its circulation takes place through blood. The blood, the blood vessels and the heart—all three combined go to form this system.

(6) The Excretory System:—Its main function is to send out the refuse and the useless matter out of our body. The kidneys, urester and urinary bladder go to form this system. (The urine is passed out through this system.) Other parts of the body also assist in sending out the waste matter e.g., perspiration from the skin and sending out carbon dioxide gas from the lungs.

(7) The Reproductive System:—The organs which go to form this system are different in men and women. The reproductive organ of the male consists of the penis and the testes, while reproductive organ of the female consists of ovaries, uterus and other parts.

(8) The Nervous System;— It exercises a check over the functions of the different parts of human body. The brain, spinal chord and the nerves go to form this system.

(9) The Endocrine System:—’Endocrine* means secreting internally. This system mainly consists of certain glands, which secrete fluids, which get directly mixed up in the blood. These secretions are called ‘hormones’ and the glands secreting them are also called ‘ductless glands’. The main important glands are, thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and the pancreas. Though there are several systems in our body, yet all of them function together. The thyroid gland is mainly connected with the development of the body and the stature of a person. We will discuss it in brief in the next step.
