Preventing slouching

  Whilst it is tricky to gain any extra height as an adult, you can certainly fight height loss. After you reach 40, you can lose as much as half an inch per decade through compression of the spine. This can be a significant amount as the years roll by. To combat this, you can perform a number of actions.   You should eat healthily and maintain adequate nutrition. Eating foods that are not processed and full of calcium are great ways to do this. Weight-bearing exercises will make sure that your body stays strong and can support your spine. Keeping hydrated and avoiding cigarettes are also great ways to avoid height loss.
