What makes older people shrink?!

lack of calcium in the diet, mostly!. Not enough in your diet to run your muscles & it steal it from the bones!. Then bones become porous like a sandcastles with poor packing- & they slowly slump down into themselves, like a deflating balloon would!. Also the connective tissues are smaller/weaker!. But mostly it's calcium!. Pregnancy also hurts, because it removes calcium from the INSIDE of bones (around the marrow) where you can't see it missing until it's too late: the more kids, the less bone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
