Suspend yourself upside down from your ankles for a while and let your weight stretch you out!

Measure your height first thing in the morning and you will be 1" taller than in the evening due to gravity pulling you down all day.

I would suspect most people who are past their best-by date are shorter than they were.
Men tend to lose up to 1.5" by the age of 70 and women up to 2".
It's mostly in the spine apparently so the good news is that we're less likely to need a smaller bike.

It's true, but at least we are still around to whinge about it! Having had an uncomfortably premature confrontation with the Grim Reaper in 2012 when I was only 56, I am more than happy to sit around complaining about my body getting old now...
I'm wondering if I am still 6' 1" though or whether I am also heading down to join the shorties?
PS I just checked. My first clumsy attempt using a biro balanced on top of my head had me at 5' 11.5" which I couldn't believe so I checked using a book against a door frame to make sure that the pen was horizontal - my actual height is 6' 0.8".
I will have to do some stretching exercises and measure myself when I first get out of bed - I want the 0.2" back!

I'm 67 and my Good Lady is a little older, we both think growing old is over rated. Like you I've had my close encounters with the grim reaper, blocked arteries, and I wake up most morning's look round and think thats my first bonus, I've woken.
