A member asked:
Does hanging increase height and approx. by how much if i hang for a certain amount of time each day ?

It doesn't: Although hanging might make you feel like you've stretched out, it will not result in permanent gain in height.

NO: Hanging is a waste of time.In theory it allows the your body to stretch out, and there can be a transient lengthening of the body, but gravity eliminates the effect as soon as you stand for a few moments.
