    Most body pain is a symptom of weak muscles, especially back pain. Lift weights and you’ll have even more pain temporarily and then no pain at all.

      This is my theory about 30yo’s having all sorts of pain issues. In school, you used to go to PE like 4 - 6 times a week. Now you do nothing, or go for a 20 min bike ride on Saturday. What did you expect will happen.

        It is not a coincidence that you start losing muscle at 30 and that’s were most people start to complain about body aches.

        This study also gives credence to it and there’s many more that also confirm it:

        Another aspect is inflammation and I hate to bring it up because it’s such a nebulous concept peddled by online granola mom anti vax types that don’t have a single clue about nutrition. But it is a fact that the shitty diets prevalent in our society cause inflammation in the body, which also contributes to skeletomuscular pain. The worst thing is that people consider it normal when it really isn’t. You’re supposed to be pretty spry up until your 60s or 70s.

          The “spry” part depends on the lifestyle and the work you do a lot. A dude that’s been in construction won’t be “spry”, their body will be ruined. A welder will not have the lung capacity. Shipyard workers will have their brain rotted because of the two part paints they use that fucks with your nervous system. It all goes to shit later in life the longer you work, and being spry at 70 is a luxury. But at 30, naaah dude, something has gone terribly wrong with you if that’s the case.

            I was gonna add a disclosure making an exception for people doing hard physical labor but got lazy. But an office worker which I would assume is most of the lemmy population should not have those issues

      possibly weak muscles + sitting all day in weird positions. nevertheless body recovery rate declines rapidly no matter what you do…

        If you’re talking about the recovery that I’m thinking about, that is of physical exertion, there is a lot you can do to slow the rate of decline actually.

            Actually yes. A high vo2max is correlated to many health benefits including better and faster recovery from illness. It even lowers your chance from death in a car crash. It’s crazy.

                It’s pretty much doing cardio so a mix of zone 2 (easy pace) volume and intervals. Running, cycling and swimming are things I enjoy and you can do it very targeted but any cardio work will over time improve it.

    I sleep hugging a pillow. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m more comfortable that way or it’s because I just need to hug something.

    When I was six I fell asleep with my head on a pile of Hotwheels.

    Now I have to spend ten minutes beating an expensive pillow into just the right shape.

    I fell asleep on the floor yesterday while petting the cat. Slept for about three hours and woke up unscathed. It was surprisingly relaxing to tell the truth. I think I’m not made for soft bedding.

      It really varies by person. I sleep best on a foam matress on a futon on the floor. When I go to a hotel with the ultra-soft bedding it just seems weird.

    I have a giant Chillet plush that I sleep with. It’s basically a body pillow. It serves this function admirably, and goddamn is it cute.

    I fell down in the shop yesterday and landed on top of some large tools. There was a bunch of blood and I’m all bruised up.

    I’ll be fine but sleeping last night felt like torture I couldn’t get comfortable at all and ended up sleeping against the wall.

    So I can really relate to this haha

    I tend to sleep on my right side and now my hip perma-aches on the contact point to the bed. Gotta concsiously switch sides, like damn.

      FWIW - I’m in my mid-50s and still feel basically the same as I did in my late 20s / early-30s. All of these aging memes strike me as odd and/or maybe people who haven’t been kind to their bodies. I sleep like a rock on a normal bed, with one pillow, and wake up rested with no pain and get out of bed and do normal stuff just fine. Weird, huh?

          I’ll be the first to admit that in no way have I been even close to perfect in terms of doing all the doctor recommends, but I do cook 90% of my meals at home from actual ingredients, drink a lot of water, have a great group of close friends who like to get out and do stuff, and generally continue to stay active mentally and physically. I don’t have kids, so from what I hear that may help somewhat with sleep patterns. I definitely stay out too late on occasion, and probably drink too much alcohol, but am at a normal, healthy weight, and have good checkup numbers. So yeah, just that same old damn boring stuff…eat right, stay active, stretch, strength train, drink lots of water. Lame, but effective.

          I will say, there was a time in my life when I was very unhappy with my job and location, so I sacrificed a lot to move across the country (to Denver) to pursue the lifestyle I thought was best for me. I was dead broke, and it sucked for a while, but ultimately, it was well worth the challenges and I feel like I got an extended youthfulness by doing that.

          Best of luck to you…every time I have an injury, it renews my appreciation for trying my best to stay healthy.
