You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it? (lemmy.world)

50s. Getting back to one’s 30s you’re still old enough for people to take you seriously, but the creaking bones and exhaustion hasn’t really started creeping in yet.

the creaking bones and exhaustion hasn’t really started creeping in yet.

Uhhh about that

[-] Savaran@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

Well, just saying, what creaking bones I had in my 30s don’t even rate in comparison now

Wife and i were talking about that yesterday. I turned 50 last year and its like my body just decided that everything should brake down all at once.

I said the same thing once I hit 30... I threw my back out once when I sneezed and was like whelp I'm basically almost dead now

[-] SteefLem@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Ha yeah had that not with a sneeze but i made a mistake by taking a drink from the fridge, and there it went. Dumb thing is i can carry “heavy” stuff and be fine but i look at a sock wrong and my backs out and walk like a duck for a week.

Start doing morning stretches, drink more water, and avoid caffeine after 5pm

Eh, that’s a mitigating circumstance.
