There are various reasons why we lose height as we age, one of the main reasons being disc degeneration. Though it’s not entirely possible to avoid this, there are MANY ways to slow down or reduce your risk for #degenerativediscdisease #DDD

1. Maintain Good Posture
2. Regular Exercise
3. Stay Active: Avoid prolonged periods of inactivity or sitting. Take breaks to stand, stretch, or walk during the day.
4. Lift Properly
5. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight puts additional stress on your spine.
6. Avoid Smoking: Smoking is associated with decreased blood flow to spinal discs, which can contribute to degeneration.
7. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to maintain the hydration of your spinal discs. Staying hydrated helps them absorb shock and maintain their structure.
8. Ergonomic Work Environment: If you have a desk job, ensure that your workspace is ergonomically designed to reduce strain on your spine.
9. Proper Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can support bone health.
10. Manage Stress
