View allCan you tell me if there's a chance I'll grow taller after turning 16? I stopped playing sports and doing physical activities for the past couple of years. I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.
After 16, significant height increase is unlikely, as the growth plates in your bones typically fuse by age 14-16 in girls and 16-18 in boys; however, some studies suggest that certain exercises, like hanging, swimming, or yoga, may help stretch and align your spine, potentially leading to a small, temporary increase in height (up to 1-2 inches), but this is not a guaranteed or permanent increase.

I've noticed the fat under my left underarm has been increasing and I ignored it at first but now it's making me concerned. I really don't want to go through surgery for this - what can I do to reduce it naturally?
Increased fat under the underarm can be due to localized fat accumulation, poor posture, or hormonal factors. You can try targeted exercises like arm circles, push-ups, and chest presses, along with overall weight loss through a balanced diet and regular cardio. If it persists or grows rapidly, a clinical evaluation is advised to rule out any other causes.
