So for everything 10 kilograms above your ideal body weight you stand 1 centimeter shorter. And before you say that's not true, please say with me, right? I do have some arguments for this. Because when you carry excess weight, you are more likely to stoop or bend your body forward, right? Especially if your body fat percentage is higher. This means that you have more mass around your belly, the more likely you are to tip your body forward. The more likely you are to lose access over the posterior chain. So muscles like your hamstrings and your glutes are going to lose leverage during movement, right? This is also one of the reasons why a lot of people that are excessively overweight, they don't really work straight. They walk with their feet outward and they cannot really perform to any level from an athletic standpoint. Okay? So if you lose weight, you improve the leverage upon the posterior chain, which then means that your lower back doesn't have to arch back. And why is the lower back arch a bad thing? Simple. You are inducing lordosis. And guess what? When your body arches back in the lower region, then the upper region has to push forward. So now your spine now instead of being somewhat straight, it becomes a labyrinth. All things that can take away centimeters or inches to your height. And the more weight you have, the worse it is. Because the more your body is going to tilt forward, the less you are going to have leverage on the posterior chain. The tighter your hip flexors are going to be. And the more your lower back is going to arch. Okay? So trying to maintain your body weight at a good threshold is going to help you regain height that you might have lost. You can see this pretty much whenever you see a transformation from somebody that has gone from being obseously obese to then just being normal, right? You are going to see that these people usually gain 1, 2, 3 inches in height. But I'm going to explain you further more what else you can do in another video. If this as well. So yeah. Bye bye for now.
