Being short has negative effects on oneâ??s ambitions, career and social life in general.  People, especially men below average in height often feel inferior at work and home and wish that they were a bit taller, even if by a few inches.  The height dents their confidence, self-esteem and the way they approach life.  However, if you are slightly shorter than average, there is no need to be miserable because there is something you can do about it to increase your height albeit by a few inches.
The most common and natural technique to increase your height is through physical exercise and proper diet.  There are many height increase exercises that you can perform if you wish to gain a few extra inches without resorting to drugs, surgery and other dangerous ways of increasing your height.  These exercises include taking part in sporting activities that require jumping and stretching like basketball, high jumping, volleyball and swimming.
