A good height not only adds a remarkable persona in your life but is also linked to higher IQ, a study states. When we go out in public, tall people are easily noticeable and appealing and related to a more positive outlook towards life. Although human height depends a lot on genetics, nutrition and exercise play a highly significant role in determining your height. However, you might be surprised that yoga is beneficial for increasing height. Yoga is an ancient science practised since time immemorial for holistic wellness. Unlike the typical mindset that growing your height in adulthood is not possible, yoga gives you a chance to grow some extra inches to your height and boost confidence.
