yeah i do too. about exactly 1/2 inches throughout the day. is there anyway to prevent this i guess not.

i am exactly 5'11.5" in the morning and end up 5'11 at end of day no matter what i do whether it is a heavy or light day at work (moving equipment) . add shoes (about 3/4 inches to 1 inch heel depending on shoes) and a bit of my hair and im over 6 feet but i would love to keep that height to my 50s and beyond

Stay in bed, in a horizontal position, all day long.

From what I've read, yoga could help you, specifically stetches/poses that target the back but for this to work you must do it regularly.

Nobody is going to notice an inch. You can't stop spine compression.

That's not your leg.
