#44: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!
You may have wondered where this “little old lady” came from. Are all old ladies little? Perhaps you’ve noticed that most older people are of smaller stature. So, yes, it is true that our bodies begin to shrink after the age of 30, and while it takes time, that’s something we can’t avoid. The true question is, why?
After the age of 30, the discs in our back flatten. Overtime, our vertebrae lose the fluid (which is akin to jelly) over time. This causes the disc to flatten, thus causing our height to drop. This is not a drastic change that occurs in one event, so it will be difficult to see this change. But, little by little, you will find that your height decreases over time.
