Why is a good diet and exercise important? A good diet that's rich in calcium, protein, amino acids, and calories, as well as other essential nutrients, will help keep your bones healthy and strong. Furthermore, a good diet helps prevent many of the bone problems that plague us during our old age, such as weakened bones and even shrinkage.

Exercise, meanwhile, is also crucial, both when it comes how to look tall and for the health of your bones as well. When you are slimmer, it's easier to find clothes that will make you look taller. Furthermore, exercising makes for stronger muscles, which in turn makes your bones stronger as they gradually grow accustomed to your new weight.

Meanwhile, once you've established the right diet and exercise routine for you, it's time to take a look at your wardrobe. Do you wear pants or shirts with a lot of patterns? Are all of your shoes tiny? Do you wear button-up shirts or outfits that have two toned colors? (ie: dark pants, white shirt.) If so, you are accidentally making yourself look shorter.

Wearing two toned clothing draws attention to your middle where the two colors contrast, which in turn makes your legs and torso look shorter. Shirts with buttons or patterns produce the same effect. When dressing to look taller, it's better to blur your waistline as much as possible by wearing solid colors, preferably in dark colors such as blue or black. You would be surprised how much your appearance changes simply by putting on a smart black business suit! Pinstripes are also wildly effective-whether you're wearing pinstriped pants or vertically striped stockings, they are wonderful for making you seem slimmer.

Additionally, your shoes also have an effect. Wearing shoes with heels or height enhancing insoles can make you look taller. Better still, wearing bigger shoes will make your feet look bigger, which in turn makes you look taller.
