Height Loss at 30+

[Cigarette]

Has anyone here over the age of 30 noticed any shrinking with their height? It appears that taller people tend to have the crazier shrinkages.

If you are:
190cm -> 181cm - 182cm
185cm -> 178cm - 180cm
180cm -> 176cm - 178cm

Some notable examples are Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford.

Eastwood peaking at 191cm and now is at 180-181cm. Poor guy probably doesn't have the strength to stand up straight but he can probably go up to 186cm if he did.

Ford has gone from 185cm to 179cm. Again, if he had the strength to stand up straight he could probably be at 182ish cm.

Although it does seem like anyone that is 183cm+ will end up being 5'11 so meh. alright i guess. Kind of sad to see that taller people tend to shrink the most but that's just life. Makes sense too since taller = more cartridge and disc fluid.

If there are any oldcels active please comment on this would help out a lot. What measures have you taken? What will you be doing to minimize this? Have you considered stem cell therapy?

Good thing is - It's only 2025. I'd say that in about 10-20 years height loss will probably be extremely minimized due to medical advancements throughout the decades. This is when you realize how important diet, bone health and standing up straight is.

Unsolicited youngcel advice but you may get some modest results from hanging from a pull-up bar for a few minutes each day. There is research to suggest that you actually lose height throughout the day due to gravity compressing the discs between the vertebrae of your spine.

I would guess that height loss due to age is possibly related to the distance between vertebrae, atrophy of the spine. It may also be related to muscle loss, so keeping a higher muscle mass may keep your posture upright and allow your body to stretch to its full height.

Height loss is actually a good think for manlets because they tend to lose less height. My uncle for example is only 170 cm and he has been like that for decades.

It’s mainly discs getting dehydrated and not producing more water to keep the puffy. I also did find about the hanging thing to help. I was surprised yesterday because I usually measure in at 184-5cm in the morning and i measured myself last night at 182cm lol

As soon as I’m 25-30 I’ll start taking blasting zinc, vit d, calcium and magnesium

Well yea, the taller you are the more height you lose. That’s why anything above 6ft is worrying when you’re older. It’s also a lifestyle + genetics thing
