A 32-year-old man reported that bad habits in his 20s have become health problems in his 30s. Due to less sleep, wrong eating habits and ignoring body pain, she is now suffering from back, neck and knee pain. This post is a warning to pay attention to health in your 20s.
The age of 20s is that period when we work hard and live life as per our wish. But, can the mistakes of this age prove costly in the 30s? A post by a 32-year-old man is going viral on social media, which tells the same story. He says that the bad habits of the age of 20 come back with interest at the age of 30. ‘My body is now charging me the bill for my 20s, and no one warned me about this,’ she wrote on Reddit.
In his post, this person has enumerated the mistakes he made when he was in his 20s. One of these was lack of sleep. He told that he used to work after sleeping only for 5 hours. He used to complete his work even while lying on the bed with a laptop. The man also told that in order to meet the deadline, he used to skip meals and survive on snacks like ‘Maggi’. Apart from this, even in the matter of exercise, he used to work out wrongly without the help of a trainer.
He admitted that his biggest mistake was that he ignored the signals of his body. Whenever there was a slight pain in the waist or neck, he would postpone it thinking that it would go away on its own. Now after reaching the age of 30, all these habits have emerged as major health problems. He wrote, ‘When you wake up in the morning, there is a pain in your back, as if there is a subscription plan which you have not signed. There is a ‘cut’ sound when the neck is turned rapidly and the knees complain while climbing stairs. The man says that he did not suffer any major injury or accident, rather it is the result of not paying attention to the body for years.
Many people shared their similar experiences on this post. However, most people believe that this situation can be changed. One user wrote, ‘This could be completely fine. Just pay attention to your food and proper diet. Another commented, ‘I started focusing on my health at 27 and at 33 I am in the best shape of my life.’ Another user advised, ‘With six months of proper exercise and nutrition, the body can be brought back to normal’.
