38 here, things just don't heal as fast and tend to ache for weeks or months.

    Thanks for posting something positive here... the other comments are really depressing for someone who's in their early 40's :(

Was around the time I started doing yoga semi-regularly (which reminds me I haven't done it in weeks). I have a couple of YouTube videos starred that I use depending on where things ache, though I've found the bulk of what I need is for tight hips; takes care of hips, legs and back pain.

  I could use some help with hip flexibility - would you be willing to post some links?

Almost 50 here. 40+ is not just an age. It sucks being in your 40s. Things really don't work the same. My brain is slower, I get confused a little bit more, I struggle to find the right words at least 3 times a day. Even worse, your parents get sick and you have to start worrying about them and taking care of them. Enjoy your 30s to the fullest, because it gets worse and it's completely out of your control to make it better. The best you can expect in your 40s is to slow down the decline.

  40+ is just an age. Things work about the same. My brain operates at the same speed. There is a point when significant mental and physical deterioration becomes inevitable, but for most people that's well past 50. I suspect that most people complaining about issues in their 40s haven't put sufficient focus on fitness and nutrition, or have damaged themselves though substance abuse.
