Deep Breathing

The importance of proper deep breathing cannot be undermined for height increase and is essential in allowing all the exercises to work as effient as possible for you. 

The reason is that you want the proper oxygenation of your blood to carry all the hormones and blood to where they need to go. Deep breathing stimulates this. Shall breathing doesn‘t stimulate blood movement or the oxygenation of blood. When you are doing your stretches, practice deep breathing during the stretches. 

Now besides doing the deep breathing while stretching, you will have to do it separately. There are 3 things you need to concentrate on when doing deep breathing. 

• Inhaling
• Holding
• Exhaling

You will inhale through your nose. You will hold with your mouth. And then you will exhale out of your mouth. 

There are 3 ways we want you to do the deep breathing:-

1-1-1 You will inhale, hold, and exhale the same amount of time. You will inhale for 5 seconds, you will hold for 5  seconds, and you wil exhale for 5 seconds. Do at least 10 of these each day. You can change the amount in the times, but keep the ratio constant. 

1-4-2 You will inhale 3 seconds, hold for 12 seconds, and exhale for 6 seconds. Do at least 10 of these each day. This targets your lymph system. You can change the amount in the times, but keep the ratio constant.

The last deep breathing you will have to do is to inhale and hold your breath for as long as possible. Then exhale. Do 5 of these each day.

If possible, try to spread these out throughout the day.

The pituitary gland in the endocrine system is the gland that helps the thyroid control your hormones and growth rate. This gland is located at the forward base of your brain.  You can help speed up slow growth by stimulating refl points in the body that have a special nerve connection to the pituitary gland. The main reflex point to massage is located on the pad of your thumb. Use your other thumb to rub the pad in a clockwise motion. Be very firm when doing this.  Massage each thumb pad for 2-3 minutes every day. You don‘t even have to do it all in a row, you can break it up and do it during TV commercial breaks if you want.  The second area you will massage is your whole neck. A lot of people have their blood flow stagnate in their neck region.  By massaging it, you will ve the blood a smoother passage to your brain, thyroid, and pituitary gland, which will low for a more effient distribution of your growth hormone. To massage your neck, use your fingers and rub in a circular motion all over your neck. Do this for 5 minutes. Be sure to roll your neck a few times during and after the massage. Since the thyroid is located in the front part of your neck, put a lot of focus there.
