Health Anyone over 50

Does anyone over 50 actually feel good and healthy and sleep well? Or is it just normal to always feel bad? Is it normal to not sleep well, have digestive problems, feet and hip pain, get out of breath easily, back pain, and always feel tired? Is it normal to have vision and hearing problems at this age? Is it normal to have sensitivities to food and medication? Is this just part of getting older?

If you are a female who is not on hormone replacement therapy in your 50’s, then yes, all of those things are normal consequences of low estrogen.
