My daughter is 16 years old.. what are some exercises and some food that can make her tall few inches before it's too late?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any growth last yr.?: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. Any active exercise is fine. Any natural, healthy foods are fine.
