Comment on Can confirm
Maalus@lemmy.world 1 week agoThis 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
