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?

    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 am 60 and felt fine into my late 30s, and even then the changes happened slowly. Our world has become more toxic, and you are suffering the direct results. Some are luckier than others, but you are correct that things have changed for the worse. Plastic is a likely main contributor but there is a lot more crap in your environment than there was when I was 20. It breaks my heart that it should be so. I hope the future has some remedy.

      Me too. Felt great all the way to 45, and now I have some minor issues but otherwise great actually.

      If people are feeling bad in their 20s, it’s a sign of how shitty society has become. Or maybe it’s just a total lack of exercise combined with shitty food, candy, sugery drinks and all that crap.

      I’m very surprised people drink sugary drinks all the time like if it was water. It should be seen as candy, and should be had maybe a few times per month, not more.

    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.
