    Taking care of sleep, training and diet and my body is in the best shape and functionality it has ever been and thats during the time when it stereotypically starts to break down.

    Folks you gotta take care of your body. We all have to do basic maintenance on our bodies throughout life.
    The most basic resistance and cardio training, actually consistent and with some intensity. Controlling most of the diet, mostly just home cooked foods, nothing fancy even needed. Proper sleep hygiene.

    All of those will go a long way to keep our bodies functional, but only if done consistently and for as long as you want to remain functional.

      Easy to say, I need to sleep 9-11h to get enough sleep that undoable in this capitalist hellscape.

        I do agree, it’s easier said than done, but that doesn’t mean it still shouldn’t be prioritized. Yes it will likely come at the expense of something else, usually even something we like to do.

        Even i can get on average only around 7h, less during week, more on the weekends and that’s after prioritizing sleep, but it’s still better than previous 5-6h on average.

        So don’t aim for a perfect solution. Just aim to improve it.

      Yes, I’m generaly healthier tham in my early twenties, but I still have the chronic diseases that never should have been there.

      And I only got confirmed Hellicobacter Pilory, and eradicated it thanks to my Father getting diagnosed by a private lab, which I then went to.

      Even with a private clinic, good luck getting diagnosed, you have to spend money on tests yourself.

        Sorry to hear about that. Yeah sometimes life can screw you over, even if doing everything right. But even then, basic maintenance of our bodies shouldn’t be discarded, it still can improve quality of life.
