Q: Will we get shorter with age?
A: People typically start to lose height after the age of 40 and shrink about half an inch in height each decade. It is possible for both men and women to lose another inch after the age of 80. The reason for this phenomenon is that our spine compresses over time. As we age, the discs between our vertebrae in the spine dehydrate, lose fluid, and thin out, thus resulting in height loss.

Q: Do HGH supplements make me grow taller?
A: Be cautious about height supplements that claim to contain HGH as this hormone can only be given by injection. It comes in a cartridge that fits into an insulin injector-like device. It has to be given daily following the doctor’s prescription and is only used to treat growth-related diseases for children and teenagers. It should be noted that HGH won’t increase height for adults; instead, it can cause a condition called acromegaly (an overgrowth of bones in the hands, feet, and face).
Q: Does stress affect my height?
A: During the day, gravity and motion squeeze fluid from between the vertebrae of your spine. Stress creates muscle tension in your back and shoulders, which forces out even more fluid than usual, thus making you shorter. Besides, stress negatively affects the pituitary gland where growth hormone is secreted. This hinders your height increase and might prevent you from achieving your maximum height potential. Stress is also harmful to your overall health, and therefore, should be reduced as much as possible.
