More than once I've read that people are taller when they first wake in the morning- your joints have fully hydrated then.
Men 3/4'' to 1-1/4 inch the article stated.
I like to soak and hydrate my joint(s). Makes it longer.
Spend 15 minutes every morning and every evening, lying in the bed exercising my hip, trying to keep from shrinking below my already wreck shortened 5'9"!
