{{B}}Why Do People Shrink {{/B}}
Did you ever see the movie Honey, l shrunk the kids It’s about a wacky
dad (who’s also a scientist) who accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade
miniaturizing invention. Oops!{{U}} (1) {{/U}}
For older
people, shrinking isn’t that dramatic or sudden at all. It takes place over
years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a
little more, maybe less), and this kind of shrinking can’t be magically
reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it
down.{{U}} (2) {{/U}}
There are a few reasons. As people
get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of
the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the
ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae, may break down
or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another.{{U}} (3) {{/U}}.
