The spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae. Between each vertebrae there are discs made up of cartilage. Cartilage is stretchable. You can grow taller by developing the cartilage and increasing the spaces within the vertebrae. What you will need to do is to strengthen the discs and increase their elasticity.

Most people don‘t exercise, and they definitely don‘t take the time to specialize in exercising the spinal column. What ends up happening is that the spinal column begins to compress and minimize the spaces within the vertebrae. Thus, you won‘t be as tall as you could be.

Over time your spinal column will take form and not reach it‘s maximum potential unless you do something about it.

You spinal column compresses daily because of gravity when you are standing or sitting. However, when you sleep straight on your back your spinal column straightens out since gravity isn‘t pulling it down to the ground.

Want proof?

Ok, try this. Measure your height right before you go to bed. Then measure your height right when you wake up.
You will probably be about an inch taller in the morning. The heavier you are the more gravity pulls down on your spinal column.

So therefore, you may be over an inch taller in the morning as opposed to at night. Basically, the heavier you are, the more you will shrink throughout the day.

What you will need to do is put the spine in traction, basically decompressing it so you can increase the fluid capacity in the discs. This will thicken and strengthen the cartilage along the entire spinal column making it longer and stronger. With a stronger spine, your body can better resist the compressive forces of gravity.

So what are the major factors when it comes to height and gaining height:

• Genetics
• Nutrition
• Human Growth Hormone
• Exercises
• Growth Plates
• Sleep
• Deep Breathing
• Massage

What you can‘t control.

You can‘t control your genetics.

You can‘t change or control when your growth plates fuse up and close, either. Usually this happens around the age of 24. You can still grow after that, but it is a lot harder. You will gain at most 2 inches (5 cm) of height after your growth plates fuse together.

Two inches is still a lot of height gained. So don‘t be too worried about your growth plates.

This is what I will focus on in this article and what you can control.

I can show you how to help boost your Human Growth Hormone production to help prime your body to grow. Sleep is tied into this.

I can help you understand the importance of deep breathing and a certain area that needs to be massaged. You can mix and match the exercises you use in this program, but you will have to do the massage and the deep breathing.

I will show you the proper nutrition you will need as well as a secret, yet common, food that some of the tallest people in the world eat.

Finally, you have total control of the exercises you can choose or not choose to grow tall. As you can see, there are plenty of factors in growing taller that you have control of.

The exercises in this program will target your spinal column and your legs.

The Concepts

Ample advice is available in various career-oriented publications and on the Web about how to write a job-getting resume. As a successful executive, you are undoubtedly aware of the importance of your resume as a personal “marketing” tool to highlight your accomplishments and potential. Most experts agree that an effective resume contains action-oriented verbs and takes up as many pages as necessary to describe your accomplishments.

However, the most important element of a winning resume is its structure, or the way it is organized to rapidly convey to any reader your career history and future potential. We should know. Our preferred resume is based on Korn/Ferry’s 30 years of experience in assessing and presenting to our clients the highest-caliber executive talent.

The secret ingredient lies in the way trained recruiters and experienced employers “read” a resume. A resume is first “scanned” - giving the reader the equivalent of a “career table of contents”. Sensing a rough match with the requirements of a specific position, the recruiter will then carefully read the relevant portions of the resume to see if there is a closer match. A well-structured resume allows recruiters and others to perform this task rapidly and with great accuracy. A well-structured resume also delivers results during the interview process with recruiters, HR professionals, and your future colleagues.

The widespread use of technology in the recruiting and staffing industry enables the creation of large-scale candidate databases. Here again, the well-structured resume and Korn/Ferry’s digital resume technology ensures that, if your qualifications match specific position requirements, you will be selected and matched with far greater accuracy.

The Details

The most important element of your resume is your Career History. It should be shown first and in chronological order with your current or last position listed on top. For each position, you should list the name of the company, division (if applicable), your position title, and the “from” and “to” dates. Next, you should briefly describe the company and/or division, along with your relative position in the company and the breadth of your authority. Finally, you should describe what you achieved in this role. Provide enough detail to convey the scope of your responsibilities, your accomplishments, and your contribution to business results. Here is an excerpt from the Career History section of a winning resume:

Example

Universal International Bank, Consumer Banking Division 03/1997 - 09/1999
Managing Director, North America ATM Deployment

Universal Group is a global financial services company that offers retail and corporate banking services to more than 10,000,000 customers in 25 countries. Reported to the Chief Technology Officer, Consumer Banking Division. As Managing Director with an operating budget of $50MM and 30 staff, responsibilities encompassed ATM user interface design, implementation of Universal’s U.S. ATM expansion strategy, technology infrastructure, and delivery capability.

Accomplishments:

Conducted consumer focus groups to test revenue generating ideas and value of ATM-based marketing. Invented a breakthrough loyalty and acquisition program to leverage customer interactions and attract and retain non-bank customers.

Designed and executed a 90-day implementation model to facilitate logistical management of multiple vendors and hundreds of tasks at remote sites.

Installed more than 1000 touch-screen ATMs in 6 months in 45 states at select retail locations.

Following Career History your educational background is the next most important part of your resume. It can include a brief commentary on course work, grades, and other educational accomplishments. Professional Qualifications allow you to list formal titles such as Certified Public Accountant, Chartered Engineer, Chartered Financial Analyst, etc. Language skills and international management experience are highly desired attributes in any executive portfolio and should be listed on your resume.

If your background includes Civic, Charitable, and/or Board of Directors activities they should be listed on you resume as well. Many executives, scientists, and educators include in their resumes Publications and/or Patents sections. In many professional categories the listing of certain other skills are a valuable addition to a resume.
