Is it normal for your body to be falling apart at 28? (lemmy.world)

Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.

Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.

Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I've lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn't as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.

Doctors said I'm fine btw. I'm just so exhausted and it's depressing seeing this shit.

I started to develop a gut for the first time around the same age (after being so skinny people would comment about it). I think you’re probably noticing regular aging, but you can probably slow the trend via a healthier lifestyle. Get active, improve your diet, maybe check with a different doc just to be sure.

This is what I was going to say.

Falling apart at 28 isn't normal, but what is normal at 28 is having your body suddenly stop giving you a hall pass. That's very relatable.

Get 8 hours of sleep a night, walk and bike when you can, eat your greens, etc. and you might notice a difference.

having your body suddenly stop giving you a hall pass.

Great way to put it. I'm close to OPs age, and while I won't say I'm "falling apart" to the extent they are, things definitely are starting to have consequences. Sleep deprivation was the most shocking; used to be able to get 4-6 hours of sleep for several consecutive days of activity, then sleep on over the weekend and be completely fine. Now, if I get less than 7, chances are pretty good that I'm not gonna have a great day tomorrow.
