Tool to measure body height
Our body height is changing with our life, the older we are the more we shrink. But even during the day we lose height – up to 2cm, the reason for it is often the change of the spinal discs. The spine in general is a good indicator for our health, our fitness and even for our emotions.
Monitoring your body height can give you hints when you should better spend time in the gym than at the desk. With this simple tool – built of wood, drawer runners and pens – body height can be simply measured and documented by oneself.
