Yes, it's true! The average height of a person decreases, on average, 15mm over the course of the day. This is equal to about a 1% loss of height from morning to evening.
Why does this occur. The answer is that the intervertebral discs, or spinal discs, are composed largely of water. The discs rest between the spinal bones, or vertabrae. These intervertebral disca are compressed as we stand and walk--it is our own body weight that compresses the intervertebral disc. When you sleep at night, the compressive pressure is relieved, and the discs expand again. While the difference is small, it is a fact!
how can you get shorter please write me back
As explained above, a small amount of our height is due to our spinal discs. Over the course of the day, these spinal discs slightly compress due to the pressure of gravity. This probably amounts to a few milimeters of height loss over the course of a day. These spinal discs then expand again when you lie down at night.
But what do we have to do to get shorter Please write to me
wat to do to get shorter
Drink tea with hardly any sugar, then when you have reached the height you want drink coffee, then you will stay the height you want to be
is this really true that you become shorter if you drink tea ???… Answer pleasee!!!!!!!!!
This does not have a scientific basis. There is no evidence to show that drinking tea has an effect on height.

is there anyone who doesn’t complain about their height? just be happy how you are.
to lose weight just diet and exercise, but you cant lose height nearly as easy
I’m 16 too and I’m 6ft 6, how’s that? DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT HEIGHT IF YOU’RE REALLY NOT TALL!!! AAARRGGHHH!!!
For guys… there is no such thing as being too tall unless you are 7 foot something and I believe someday 7 feet will be normal height for guys.
Girls right now there isn’t really anything we can do to get shorter just accept how you are because you are beautiful in your own way you just need to forget your height and look at what is beautiful about you to you.
I’m sure you would rather be 3 inches taller than everyone rather than 3 inches shorter.
I think u guys should just be happy the way u r bcuz im 16 and i still have to get a step stool to reach certain things trust me its not fun

I am 22 and with time we learn to just live life the way we are and love every day like there is no tommorrow
I used to be 5’5.5″ and weighed 238. Now I’m 5’3.5″ and weigh 195. My height decreases half of an inch over the course of a day. Of course it goes back in the morning. I did have a back injury when I was 14, but the doctors said nothing is wrong. Maybe I get shorter until I finish losing weight. Tomorrow is my birthday, I’m turning 19!!
p.s. I’m shorter than both my parents and was shorter than my big sister, but let’s see where losing the other 66 pounds take me!!
I’m 5″9 and want to get taller.. there is nothing wrong with being tall but there is something wrong being short, trust me.

I am 14 and 5/10 i want to be 5/5 because i am taller than the other boys at my school so they are intimadated by me what do i do to gwt shorter?
need to get shorter wat can i do?
I have a routine
Slouch and drop your head in your shoulders and slightly bend your knees.
DONT EAT OR DRINK CALCIUM, PHOSPHEROUS, MAGNESIUM
Put something heavy on your head occasionally.
DOnt bend your back too much.
I was 5’8 and now i’m 5’7. Please note that I am taking things too far, and I have a 50 percent chance of doing something serious with my body. It just works. I did this in 3 days. If you are seriously unhappy with your height, this is your cheapest choice. I think it’s turning into a habit and each day I want to be shorter. My goal is 5’4 becuase Simon Helberg is that height and hes my favorite actor.
is this true jacob
Im nearly 6’10 and I don’t want to be shorter and I was 17. So better get over it. Tall is better, even if you are not baskeball player.
You cannot complain until you are over 6’7.
I really want to become shorter in height. I’m nearly 16, 5’7 or (170 cm) tall and I want to become around 5’2 (152 cm) because I think it is so beautiful.. I feel really huge and tall although I’m kind of thin. Plz don’t tell me to love myself the way I am, because I’m honestly tired of that. I just really reallyy want to become shorter!!!! If you know tell me what to eat or do in order to get short. I’ll do anything and I’m not joking . Plz reply as soon as possible. Thank you soo much !!!
I forgot to ask if any of this are actually true and help to lower your height:
-eat gummy worms
-crouch a lot
- slump slouch a lot
- drink coffee and caffeine
sleep less
- or in a seated position because when your spine is in horizontal position you basically grow, when its not you don’t
- do sports
- loose weight
//?????
Thank you !
