Your Spine Shrinks Every Day — But Only Because It “Leaks” Fluid
People know we get shorter with age, but few understand that we also get shorter every single day.
Throughout the day, gravity squeezes fluid out of your spinal discs, causing the spine to compress by up to 1 inch.
When you sleep, the discs rehydrate and expand again. This daily “shrink–expand cycle” works like a natural shock absorber — but becomes less efficient as we age, contributing to stiffness and long-term height loss.
