People Over 30 Are Sharing The Surprising Physical Signs Of Aging They Weren't Prepared For

Age is just a number and it's all about how you feel, but as the years pass, we all experience some physical reminders that we're not getting any younger. Redditor MaxTheChamp asked, "Those that have just turned 30 or are over 30, what changes have you noticed in your body?" Here's what people said about changes they've experienced due to aging . 2.

"When I turned 33, I had to start peeing right before I went to bed, or else I couldn’t get comfortable enough to go to sleep. If peeing isn’t literally the last thing I do before getting in bed, I will feel the need to get back up and pee again." — arparris 4.



"I'm 37. Apparently, I recently got too stressed for a prolonged period and was told by friends and colleagues that I was doing too much. I went on merrily ignoring them and continuing to work too hard like I've always done.

.. until my body briefly and unexpectedly WENT BLIND.

" — Crow_eggs 7. "I fatigue much faster, and I'm noticing my diet, lack of adequate sleep, and lack of water intake are all catching up with me." — Petaluridae 10.

"My cholesterol skyrocketed once I hit 40. My diet didn't change. It was like a light switched on.

" — profdart 13. "I've started to notice over-abundant nose hair..

.Like, what's my body protecting? I'm thinning where I want hair and gaining where I couldn't care less..

.." — sicboy72 15.

"If you’re a woman, perimenopause. You don’t realize how much hormones contribute to the overall running of your body until they start to go away. For me, it's resulted in horrible periods at random times, acne, hair loss, weight problems, extreme fatigue and muscle wasting, violent emotional swings, and inability to concentrate.

Fun times." — pitathegreat 18. "I'm going to be 40 this year, and I don't feel any different yet.

I actually feel better than in my 20s because I don't stress about small things anymore. I'm happy with my life where it is too." — coffeebuzzbuzzz 20.

"Those injuries I thought were no big deal years ago were, in fact, very big deals. I should have gone to the hospital many times." — ThisMyNameeeee 22.

Finally, "Taking time off from exercise gets harder and harder to reverse." — StuckAtOnePoint Do you have something to add? What physical or mental change have you experienced as you age that has surprised you? Tell us in the comments or in this anonymous form ..
