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?
Yes, sort of.
My 20s saw my first real back, ankle, and knee injuries/soreness. Also had my first crown done around then. I felt pretty depressed about it.
I picked up stretching, yoga, and low impact cross training. 20 years later I can honestly say that my back and knees have never been better. I’m a lot more thoughtful about preparation and risks I choose to take.
