Anyone else feel like their body began falling apart in their 20s? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

In my early 20s, I got tinnitus even though in the rare occasion I'm around loud noises I wear hearing protection.

In my mid-late 20s, my vision got worse after never needing glasses and my knees starting creaking with occasional pain. I now need some more involved dental work even though I brush and floss regularly.

I've lived a predominantly outdoor, active lifestyle the last several years, so I should be quite well off health-wise, but it still feels like I'm aging faster than I should be. wtf?

Well, that doesn't describe me at all. I rarely eat out, instead eating home cooked meals, and I tend to get out as much as I possibly can. When I called my insurance's nurse line about my knees, they suggested it's probably due to overuse, though I haven't used them significantly more since I've been active basically forever. I also don't drink sugar; I only occasionally have drinks that aren't water.
