Anyone else feel like their body began falling apart in their 20s? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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?

I was a sedentary teen, so I'm more active and feel much better now. Never look at yourself in decline. The more you work hard to be healthy the less aging will impact you.

Yes! I started competing in a sport in my late twenties and am deep into it now (I'm 36), and have never felt better.
