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?
You’ve just peaked, physically. Up to about 25 you’re growing stronger, taller. Your vision grows better and better ‘til about 23. From then on, you certainly can achieve what you did in your early 20s, but it’ll be harder to do so. Harder to get to that point, harder to bounce back from setbacks, harder to avoid injury.
It’s just life. Sucks, I know.
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 feel like that in my 30s
I turned 30. Appendicitis. I turned 31. Broke my ankle in two places. Can’t wait for this years problem.
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.
