I mean, this but unironically. There's a lot of muscular-skeletal issues that you get from... sitting in an office chair for 20 years. Or not getting tons of physical activity for most of your adult life. Or various deterioration of this or that bodily function from over/under-utilization or simple wear-and-tear.
Ask a Sports Medicine doctor what to do about compounded injuries and most of what you'll get is "We can replace the part that's broken" or "Stop doing the thing that's causing you injury". After that, there's no miracle cure that's going to make decades of strains and bruises and stress injuries just vanish.
I've sustained far more injuries sitting at a desk than I ever did as a soldier, or manual laborer.
Then you were very lucky.
Met a guy last week who found himself next to two different IEDs while in Afghanistan and then Iraq. He had far more scars to show for it than I ever did as a desk jockey.
Obviously war time duty in a warzone is far more dangerous. I'm not trying to imply that sitting at a desk is more dangerous than fighting in a war. I'm saying that physical labor is better for your body than sitting on your ass.
