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.

Do you stretch often? I remember feeling like this in my early 20's and my friends suggested I do yoga which helped immensely. My legs will also feel terrible if I don't stretch them or place them above my head every day. Supposedly putting them above your head (like lying on your bed with your legs on the wall) will prevent varicose veins by draining the blood from them and letting them heal. Maybe it'll help a bit with already varicose veins.

Also you're getting to that age where your diet will have a larger effect on how you feel, so try to eat more vegetables or whatever your body needs. I've found that meat does not sit well with me if I eat too much of it, so try to find out what you need.
