Increased yoga effect is short-lived
Yoga has been very popular in recent years, and many new products have been spawned: parent-child yoga, couples yoga, pregnant women yoga, etc. Now, a type of height-increasing yoga that claims to increase the weight of adults by 3 to 6 centimeters in a few months of practice has also become popular...
Phenomenon: Hot sales of height-increasing yoga discs online
A reader called the reporter: "I want to increase my height. Recently I heard about a yoga height increase technique. A set of discs costs two to three hundred yuan. I wonder how the effect will be?" According to this reader, the reporter found more than a dozen websites on the Internet that sell increasing yoga CDs and teaching materials. These websites all advertised in prominent locations: "After eight years of research and practice... we have developed and compiled a series of increasing yoga tutorials, selecting orthodox complete yoga breathing, meditation and the most targeted increasing yoga postures. Thousands of students have achieved good increasing weight and slimming effects through increasing yoga practice." There is also "No height increasing medicine or height increasing device can increase the height of an adult by 1 cm, but if you still desire to increase and are unwilling to undergo bone breaking surgery, then only height increasing yoga can help you increase the height by 3 to 6 cm."
Height increasing yoga mainly relies on "pulling"
The attention paid to increasing yoga is indeed very high. On some video websites, video tutorials for increasing yoga have also received thousands of clicks. In the video, the coach assumes "dragonfly pose","swan pose", etc., and most of the coaches in the video demonstrate stretching movements.
The reporter dialed the phone number of a height-increasing yoga website. On the phone, a staff member told reporters that height-increasing yoga is carried out at the same time of stretching and correction. There are three principles. One is to adjust the abnormal curvature of the spine, and the other is to stretch the bone gap between the 37 sections of the spine and the leg bones. The third is to correct the humpback, O-shaped legs, splayed legs, chest, etc. of a few people. These will play a certain role in height-increasing. The staff member even said that if he focused on practice, he could achieve the effect of "growing the upper body if he wanted to grow the upper body, and growing the lower body if he wanted to grow the lower body."
Increased yoga effect is short-lived
Regarding the emergence of height-increasing yoga, Huang Junqing, director of the Department of Orthopedics at the Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that adults 'epiphyses have closed and it is impossible to grow taller. height-increasing yoga says that height can be increased by stretching and widening the bone gap, but this effect cannot last long, because using external traction to widen the bone gap, the height will quickly rebound back to its original height. In response to some people's reports of increasing height after practice, Huang Junqing said that this may be related to the usual bending and hunchback. Yoga corrects these bad postures, and when people become straight and straight, their height will appear higher. So, can teenagers in the growth and development period practice weight-increasing yoga to help them "grow"? Huang Junqing said that it is even more inappropriate for minors to practice weight-increasing yoga because the gap between bones and joints in minors is already wider than that of adults, and blind stretching is not good.
