Post by: kravmaga on June 17, 2019, 01:02:54 PM

How much height do we lose as we age?
Also, how do we stop or at least lessen ageing-related height loss?

As long as you do some sport and stretching you will start to lose those inches so lately in your life that is going to be a non issue anyway

Yeah that's why I'm thinking about getting LON in a few years with Dr Giotikas .Then I'll save up for femurs over the next 15 years.If I see significant height decrease occuring I'll get the surgery.
One thing to remember is that on average men shrink far less than women

Glutamine sulphate and daily streching and exercises while getting older might help
