How much is a lot? The parent comment came with 6x10^-7s over 100 years and for 2m tall people. I haven't checked the calculation, but we'll go with that. Is that a lot? If yes, why? Or if not, why not? Let's say it's not 6x10^-7s, but 10s over a lifetime. Is that a lot? 1 minute? 1 hour? So what if it's 1 hour?
This difference causes tidal forces in your body. These tidal forces are minuscule compared to any other everyday interaction that you do. I haven't done the calculation, but I would wager that the tidal effect of even 1 hour over a lifetime is completely dwarfed by everyday interactions and effectively invisible in human everyday life.
