        I think about this sometimes in the way that if I wanted to start a new career or do something different and I quickly realize im to old to do most things these days… all regular sports have been long gone. Other jobs requiring physical requirements are either over or near the end. I remember seeing the air traffic controller shortage, and they showed the requirements and I laughed and said we’ll I couldn’t even attempt this if I wanted to since they don’t accept people over 31. Lots of options are just gone at this point, and it’s sad and scary.

    millions of people are walking around with chronic viral and bacterial infections and don’t know it. Feeling like that isn’t just normal aging.

      Huh? Chronic infections? Do you have a source on this? Sounds like things I’ve heard to get you to buy whatever flavor of snake oil treatment of the week there is.

      Most people probably just need to be more active and eat healthier.

        You just need to hydrate a bunch. I drink Gatorade or a ton of water after any alcohol. Obviously if you go out and drink a 12 pack that won’t help you but 3 beers in a night should definitely not leave you feeling like crap the next morning.

        Actually even if you don’t drink you should stay hydrated.
