In my early 20s, I got tinnitus even though in the rare occasion I’m around loud noises I wear hearing protection.
In my mid-late 20s, my vision got worse after never needing glasses and my knees starting creaking with occasional pain. I now need some more involved dental work even though I brush and floss regularly.
I’ve lived a predominantly outdoor, active lifestyle the last several years, so I should be quite well off health-wise, but it still feels like I’m aging faster than I should be. wtf?
Kind of, but not fully. It’s more like I’m aware that the reality is I have to start being careful even if I’m still considered “young”, more like don’t do any stupid shit
I swear, since the day I turned 28, anytime I stand in 1 spot for more than 30 seconds where I lock one of my knees, if I then adjust or move, I get fuckin rice crispy knees LOL
I had my gallbladder out in my late 20s, but that’s more caused by gaining 50 lbs in college and then losing 20 lol
Other than that, that’s basically it so far, thankfully. I don’t really have back pain or other stuff. I have a sedentary job (I’m in IT) where I sit at a desk almost the entire work day (we do 1 walk), but I also can take a 1.5 hr break if I go to the gym instead of 1h, so I do that instead, which helps my health. I’m trying to do tennis on Tues and Thursdays as well
My body started falling apart in my 30s. It took a radical diet change to discover I have major issues with gluten. It cleared up so many problems I had. A little while later I discovered I don’t process alcohol well and it had a cumulative effect. Once I cut that out things got much better again.
I guess what I’m saying is, consider your diet. I used to make fun of gluten free people. I’m not laughing anymore.
I’m doing all right myself, but I can’t say the same for my girlfriend. Headaches, tummyaches, backaches, or whatever random thing it is today, there’s always something. She’s a few years older than me so I guess I have something to look forward to lol.
