Sitting too long actually reduces your height over time

[autistic_tendencies]

Compresses and adds extreme pressure to intervertebral discs leading to sciatica ; shrinking reduced height

STAND FOR 2 HOURS DAILY MINIMUM, ideally 3. To off set this

This makes sense. Do you have some sources so I can go read up on this myself.

What about laying down

Not sure about this. I've sat most of the time for the past 10 years and i haven't lost height. I was 172 in my early 20s and i'm 174 the past 3 years. I do have spinal issues though and i do agree you should stand and sit aswell, it needs to be balanced.
I think everyone should install a pullup bar and decompress their spine once a day in the afternoon or so.

Just went sitting normally in a chair supposedly with thighs at a 90 degree angle , torso upright or bent forward ; bad it reduces blood flow leading to heart issues ,
