A member asked:
If a child hasn't grown an inch in the past year (the past year, the child had an unhealthy diet) is it possible to at least let him grow an inch or higher this time with a healthy and nutritious diet?

Height: At your age, you have probably reached your full height. You should focus on a healthy diet and regular exercise, just to stay healthy, rather than worry about how tall you will be. Most of your height is genetically determined and you don't have any control of that.
