Yes, it is true, your spine does need strong muscles to support it and keep it in alignment. It these same muscles that will make your spine flexible and fights the compressing effects of gravity on the disks located in the spine.
It takes specific stretching exercises to keep the spine flexible and strong. These same exercises also have another important function. Exercising causes the body triggers the release of HGH or Human Growth Hormone, which is responsible for the growth of bones, muscles and rebuilding tissue.
Stretching is great way to exercise on focused parts of the body that allows you to get taller naturally. It is the spine and the legs allowing for the greatest growth for increased height.
In the next breath, lack of stretching exercises will stunt the flexibility needed for growing taller.
Furthermore, exercise strengthens your body to support it as the cartilage lengthens. Although most workouts will help your body grow in some way, stretching exercises are one of the most effective and natural ways to increase height.
Stretching is an efficient way to exercise because it focuses on the parts of your body that you want to grow. The bulk of your height comes from your spine and legs.
On the other hand, not stretching stunts your growth because it weakens your cartilage and reduces the flexibility needed to grow.
