How to grow taller

How can I grow Taller?

Today,height growth is the very common problem among teens and adult. Everyone wish to grow bit taller than their actual height.But, it can be very challenging to grow anymore once your growth plate is fused or closed. You may wonder what  growth plates are, and how they can affect your height or growth? Let me explain you what growth plates are , and how they affect your growth.

What are growth plates?

The medical name is 'Epiphyseal Plates' but are more commonly known as growth plates. They exist within the long bones of the body, by that I mean bones that are generally longer than they are wide, such as the femur (upper leg), humerus (upper arms) and fibula (lower leg). These are the bones that are responsible for determining your height. Every animal has these plates within their long bones, without them they simply wouldn't grow. During your life, the way they function changes substantially and for that reason we eventually stop growing.

Growth plates function in height increase

As they are perfectly situated on the ends of your bone, they have the ability to lengthen the bone by creating new cartilage within the bone itself. This cartilage eventually transforms into bone. Throughout your adolesence, this process continues, constantly causing you to grow taller as your bones elongate.

See the image to the right, the new cartilage grows to the top of the growth plate and gradually turns into bone, as it does it gets pushed down below the growth plate allowing the bone to continue growing.

Obviously the longer these bones are, the taller you will be, in particular the leg bones (femur, tibia and fibula) as these make up as least half of your height.

What age do growth plates fuse?

Growth plates don't stay open all your life. They usually close (also known as fuse) in your teenage years, however it's different in males than females. The fusing process in males is usually complete within the ages of 16-18 in males, but 13-14 in females.

However, once your growth plate is fused, it is almost impossible to grow anymore taller. But, if your teenager and still growing taller, then follow the exercise than diet listed below to speed up your growth. And for adult, whose growth plate is already fused and still wanted to add some extra inches to your height, then you can still follow the same exercise and diet mentioned below. But, remember I can not guarantee that you will see the same progress as the teens. However, you can expect to see some differences within the couple of months. Remember that don't expect to grow overnight because growing is the most difficult process in our body. Be patient and stick to your diet and exercise,you will get some good result within couple of months.

Consume a balanced diet. A person will look a lot shorter when having a plump body. Not only that, being fit by eating right will make you taller and feel better!

• Eat plenty of lean protein. Lean protein, such as white poultry meat, fish, soy, and dairy, helps promote muscle growth and healthy bones. Simple carbohydrates such as pizza, cakes, sweets, and soda, are the stuff to stay away from.
• Eat plenty of calcium. Calcium, found in leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale, and in dairy (yogurt and milk), helps promote healthy bones.
• Get enough zinc. Studies, although they have been inconclusive so far, point to a possible link between zinc deficiencies and stunted growth in boys. Good sources of zinc include oysters, wheat germ, pumpkin and squash seeds, lamb, peanuts, and crab.

Get enough vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes bone and muscle growth in children, and a deficiency has been shown to stunt growth and cause weight gain in teenage girls.Vitamin D can be found in fish, alfalfa, or mushrooms commonly.

(2) Exercise throughout the teen years and in puberty to improve your height modestly. Do jumping exercises frequently, such as skipping, dancing and even hanging . Be active. Get out and about and work your muscles for at least 30 minutes each day.

• Join a gym. Joining a gym will help give you access to a lot of great exercising and muscle-building machines. It will also keep you motivated to work out (you'll feel silly if you're not exercising in the gym).
• Join a sports team. People who join sports teams can use their natural competitiveness to burn extra calories and hopefully get their bodies taller. The great thing about team sports is that half the time, you don't even realize that you're exercising.
• If nothing else, walk around. If you can't find the time to do anything else, get up and walk around. Walk to the grocery store. Walk to the library. Walk to school.

Growing taller Exercises

COBRA 

     Lie on the floor face down with palms on the floor under your shoulders.  Begin to arch your spine up leading with your chin.  Arch as far back as possible. Each repetition should last between 5-30 seconds.

uper Cobra

     Start with your arms perpendicular to the floor, and the spine arched (the end position of the cobra). Now blend your hips and bring your body up into an inverted 'V' position.  While you are doing that, tuck your chin against your chest. Return to the original position. Each repetition should last between 10-20 seconds.

 Cat Stretch

Get on your hands and knees with your arms locked out. Inhale as you flex your spine down and bring your head up. Exhale as you bring your spine up into an arched position while bringing your head down. Each repetition should last between 3-8 seconds.

Basic Leg Stretch

While sitting down, spread your legs far apart. Reach for your toes. Try to keep your knees as straight as possible. Now move into reaching for the toes on the other leg. Be sure to keep your spine straight and move from your hips. Do not arch the upper spine. This stretch works both your spine and legs. Each repetition should last between 6-15 seconds.

The Bridge

Lying down with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor as close to your butt as possible, grab your ankles and hold onto them while you rise your hips up and arch your spine, lifting your abs towards the ceiling.
Lift your abs as high as possible. Go back down. If you can't hold onto your ankles, keep your arms to the side and use them to push yourself up. Each repetition should last between 3-10 seconds. This stretch may be hard to do at first, but be persistent even if you can't do it completely right at first.

The Table

     Sit down on the floor with your legs straight. With your torso straight, place the palms of your hands on the floor next to your butt. Then tuck your chin against your chest. Now bring your head back as far as it will go. 

While doing that, raise your body so that your knees bend while the arms stay straight. The torso and upper legs will be straight and horizontal to the floor. Your arms and lower legs will be perpendicular to the floor. You will be the shape of a table. This is another hard stretch for some. If you can't do it right away, just do the best you can, eventually you will be able to do it with ease. Each repetition should last between 8-20 seconds.

The Bow Down

     Stand with your hands on your hips. Keep your hands on your hips and bend forward as far as possible, leading with your head. Don't bend your knees and keep your chin off your chest. Each repetition should last between 4-8 seconds.

The Yawn

     Standing up with hands held together behind your neck, bend your head upwards and back as far as possible. Each repetition should last 5-15 seconds.

The Super Stretch

     Standing up, reach your hands up as high as you can as you lean slightly back. Feel the stretch in your lower spine. The super stretch can be done standing up or lying down. Each repetition should last between 4-7 seconds.

Hands on the Head Bow Down

     Standing with your hands together behind your neck, bend forward as far as possible. Lead with your head. Bring your chin into your chest. Don�t bend your knees. Each repetition should last between 4-8 seconds.

Wall Stretch

     Standing up against a wall, reach your hands up as high as possible while getting onto your tip toes. Keep your spine flat against the wall as much as possible. Each repetition should last between 4-6 seconds. This stretch is harder than it looks because your spine is flat against the wall.

Hanging 

     There is nothing complicated to hanging. You simply hang from a bar. This helps to lengthen and straighten your spine. It is recommended that you hang for at least 30 minutes a week. If you want your back and shoulders to get wider and have V-Taper, use wider grip. A wider grip is harder though.

Touch Toes

     Standing with your hands high above your head, bend over and touch your toes. Keep your legs as straight as possible. You can bend your knees a little if need to. Each repetition should last between 2-3 seconds.

Finally, sound sleep.  Sleeping is the time when your body grows, so having plenty of sleep is equivalent to giving your body more time for growth. Get between 9 and 11 hours of sleep per night if you're a preteen or still younger than 20.

The human growth hormone (HGH) is produced naturally in our bodies, especially during deep or slow wave sleep.[6] Getting good, sound sleep will encourage the production of HGH, which is created in the pituitary gland.

Save money on Auto insurance

2. Multi-Vehicle Savings


If you’re insuring more than one vehicle, it’s always a good idea to insure all your vehicles with the same insurance provider.  Insurance companies offer a discount for customers insuring multiple vehicles, which will save you a percentage on each policy.

Save money on Auto insurance

3. Compound Your Savings

If you require additional insurance, including homeowner’s, tenant or condo insurance, find out what discount your insurance provider offers to insure your vehicles along with your other policies.  Most insurance companies offer discounts when you buy both your home and auto insurance policies with them, which could save you 5-10% off your total insurance cost.

4. Higher Deductibles

As a general rule, the higher your deductible is, the lower your insurance premiums will be.  As long as you can afford to have a higher out-of-pocket cost if something happens to your car, choose a $1,000 deductible instead of $500 deductible to save.

5. Cancel Collision Coverage

ADVERTISEMENT


Collision coverage is typically a significant portion of your insurance premium, and if you’re driving an older car collision coverage may not be necessary.  The value of your vehicle can be drastically reduced if it is older, has higher mileage or if it’s in bad shape.  If the value of your car is worth the same or less than your deductible, you’re likely better off cancelling your collision coverage and putting the premium savings away to go towards purchasing another vehicle.

6. Drive Better

Your insurance premiums are affected by your driving record, so it pays to keep it clean.  Tickets and convictions have a negative effect on your insurance rates for up to three years, and accidents can affect your rates for much longer (6 years or more!).  Drive safe every day to keep your insurance rates low.

7. Choose Your Vehicle Wisely

The type of car you drive influences your rates, depending on the average cost of claims for that make and model.  For example, four wheel drive vehicles often cost more to insure than their two wheel drive counterparts, as mechanical repair costs in the case of a collision on four wheel drive vehicles are generally more complex (and therefore more expensive).  Your insurance company will also look at how often a vehicle is stolen.  Before purchasing a new (or newer) vehicle, it is wise to check in with the Vehicle Information Centre of Canada, which can show you the difference in theft and claim rates for different vehicles.  By choosing a lower risk car you can reduce your annual insurance premiums.

8. Take Transit or Carpool

In your insurance company’s eyes the more you drive, the more likely you are to get in an accident.  And driving during rush hour (which is when most people commute to work) can be even worse.  This is why insurance rates are higher if you drive your vehicle to work.  Go green and take the bus, train, or join a carpool group to save money on your insurance, and the other costs associated with driving your car to work.

9. Get Educated

If you are a new driver, completing an accredited driver’s education course will result in significantly lower premiums for your car insurance in Canada.  Though the course will cost you initially, you’ll be safer on the road, and you’ll save on your insurance premiums every year.

10. Install an Anti-Theft Device

Your car is at a lower risk of being stolen when you have an anti-theft device.  Though most cars today come with a factory installed alarm system, and your insurance provider will have already discounted your policy to compensate for that, additional security measures may qualify you for an additional discount.  Check with your insurance company and see if having an alarm or immobilizer installed in your vehicle can further reduce your rates.

Weight Loss

Weight Loss Tips

Start with your diet. For fast results, you must change your eating habits. Because you want fast results, you must make some changes. However, just because you want to lose weight doesn't mean you can't eat.

In fact, you must eat in order to lose weight. Starving yourself causes your metabolism (the mechanism that burns fat) to go into hibernation, so that it can store up energy. This means that starving yourself is actually a really bad idea. You'll do harm to your body and wonder why you're not shedding pounds, even though you haven't eaten anything.

• It goes without saying, but you also don't want to develop an eating disorder. Anorexia and Bulimia are serious conditions that need treatment. If you think you might have an eating disorder, tell someone you trust and seek help immediately. No amount of weight loss is worth jeopardizing your health.

now and understand the food pyramid. Knowing how many servings of different types of food you should eat in a day is essential for healthy weight loss. You will need to eat and drink the following:

• A glass of water at meals and snacks are healthier choices than sugary soft drinks and artificial juice.
• Minimum 3 servings of fruit daily.
• Minimum 4 servings of vegetables daily
• 3-7 servings of protein[1] (meat, fish, etc.) and dairy (milk, cheese, yoghurt, etc.) daily
• 3-5 servings of fats[2] (nuts, peanut butter, etc.) daily
• Eat carbohydrates sparingly. Eating carbohydrates from artificial sugars and refined carbs (white bread, white pasta) will leave you bloated.

Mortgage Tips

Five tips for getting approved

Applying for your first home loan is a little like opening up your underwear drawer to strangers. You can take some of the unpleasantness out of the process by knowing what lenders are looking for.

According to John Turner, director of mortgage sales at BMO in Toronto, Canadian lenders use the five C’s of credit when assessing your ability to pay back a mortgage.

    Credit history. Your lender will want to make sure when you’ve borrowed money, you’ve paid it back
    Capital. Ensuring you’ve accumulated assets
    Collateral. When it comes to a mortgage, you’re putting your house up as collateral
    Capacity. In short, capacity is debt servicing. For instance, your housing cost shouldn’t exceed 30 per cent to 32 per cent of your gross income and all of your debts shouldn’t exceed 40 per cent to 42 per cent of your gross income
    Character. It’s an evaluation of all four previous C’s as well as subjective and objective things such as how long have you been in your job, what type of job you have and how long you have lived in your current residence

But what can you do to improve your chances of getting approved? These five tips will help you get that final tick of approval:

Get preapproved, but understand what type of preapproval your broker/banker is performing
“Not all mortgage preapprovals are created equal, so it’s important to understand what kind of prequalification you’ve been provided,” says John Turner, director of mortgage sales at BMO, in Toronto. Whether or not the mortgage specialist has done credit checks and verified income and the source of your down payment could affect whether you’re approved in the final stages.

Bring in all verifiable information
Be sure to bring in a letter that states your income, pay stubs banking information that verifies the source of your down payment. “Having that info all readily available will provide you with a preapproval with less conditions (some say subject to satisfactory income or down payment verification),” says Turner. “Get all that stuff out of the way, so it’s one less thing to worry about.”

Ask to have your banker/broker check your credit history
Not all bankers/brokers will do this at the preapproval stage. However, it could prevent you from getting final approval. So if you’re not sure, ask.

Build credit history, if you don’t have any
Turner recommends applying for an RRSP if you’re in the soft stages of buying a home. It will appear on a credit report. That loan is going to create the down payment for you.

Avoid lavish purchases and job changes
Don’t run out and buy cars or run up credit cards before you buy a home because it will impede the amount you can qualify for. In addition, don’t change your job within six to eight months of buying, because a lender will look at that, but Turner says, depending on the industry you work in, if it’s a natural progression, it will be looked at differently.
