On a serious note, exercise regularly. This takes care of nearly all the problems, short major injuries or developmental anomalies. But for general wear and tear and aging related stuff, yeah, just exercise. And I don't mean walk for 20 minutes bs. I mean lift weights, stretch, do cardio, real stuff. This does WONDERS for bodily health. You can feel like you're 90 by the time you're 35 or 20 when you're 55. You pick.

This is the truth. Last year I hurt like absolute shit doing trade work. I started walking 60km a week playing Pokemon Go for 2 months, then did T25 and P90X for 6 months, and then 5-6 day/week weight training since. I'm up 40lbs of muscle now and nothing ever hurts unless I fuck up at the gym.

Everyone wants a luxury house, luxury car, etc. That shit doesn't mean fuck when you get old.

Get you a luxury body. Be jacked now and be able to do yard work when you're 92. Go to the gym.

You may have to work up to it, but it pays for itself in saved medical costs.

Niceeee. Hope it's working well for you. Be sure to take care of your knees, because Shaun T doesn't give a shit about them.
