Size may matter, but in some cases the smallest thing can have the biggest impact. Like that grape-sized organ, the anterior pituitary gland nestled within your brain. Despite its small dimensions, it is the source of powerful juice when it comes to building height. The anterior pituitary gland is responsible for secreting a substance called somatotropic hormone, more commonly known as “growth hormone,” into
your bloodstream. Without that tiny gland, it wouldn’t matter how many repetitions of stretching
exercises you perform. Without it, building
your physique would become an
exercise in futility. “It’s somatotropic hormone that dictates how
your body will adapt itself from all
your height increasing efforts” says Ed Burke, Ph.D., director of the
Exercise Science Program at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Acting as
your body’s foreman, growth hormone instructs
your skeletal bone to grow larger and stronger while it speeds the conversion of excess fats into energy.
In other words, get enough growth hormone floating around in
your system and
your body has no choice but to construct itself into something bigger. Cheat
yourself from acquiring
your fair share and
your body can only do so much, no matter how much you do.
