15 Things No One Tells You When You Start Aging

Shrinking in Height

As time passes, gravity’s effects can slowly cause a reduction in height, with many people losing about an inch over the years. This happens because the vertebrae in the spine gradually compress, making the spinal column shorter.

While this change is a natural part of aging, maintaining good posture and staying active can help reduce its impact. Strengthening your core muscles through exercises like yoga or Pilates can also support your spine and keep you standing tall longer.
