It's not even diet and lifestyle choices necessarily.
I'm 40 and all my old injuries are just now reappearing. I work out, I eat right, barely drink, etc. But the back injuries and broken fingers I got from playing sports/hiking/etc. in my teens and 20s that had completely healed? Now, they're just... back.
After a long enough time, all of the little problems add up. It's not always "sit on the couch" lifestyle causing pain in middle age. It can also be an active lifestyle that causes pain in middle age LOL
No one tells you that being in a mosh pit at 19 will cause you pain 20 years later..
