      Also, if you don’t eat when you’re hungry, it’s not simply a grumbling stomach you have to deal with. Now hunger comes with lethargy, headaches, irritability, and more. I used to be able to fast most of the day without any issue, but at some point in my mid-20s, it was like a switch got flipped. Now when my body senses low blood sugar, it basically revolts against me until I eat something.

      Yup. Get injured easier, and takes longer to heal. I got a Covid-ish (never tested positive) respiratory infection back in Oct, have had breathing/coughing issues ever since, this led to blood pressure issues, leading to issues in my eyes and just overall quality of life issues. Now that I’m on a laundry list of daily meds I can finally live a somewhat normal life :P. I wish I took my grandfather’s advice and never got old.

        I got covid last year. It triggered an autoimmune response and now I have rheumatoid arthritis. Lovely as I just had an lrti on my thumb for osteoarthritis. Being active is good, but some days it’s hard to get out of bed knowing how much my feet are going to hurt as soon as I stand up.
