The upper back typically increases in curve by ten degrees by 60 years of age. In addition, as we age, all our spinal ligaments typically become stiff.

Lung function typically declines by our 30s. This may be in part because of our worsening posture. According to Dr. David A.

As a result, we take shorter, shallower breaths. We get winded faster than when we were younger, because our body has to work much harder to get the same amount of oxygen to the blood.
