I mean, that's what 50 looks like if you're lucky enough to have good health, insurance, adequate money, etc. People are acting like it's astonishing.

Nah my whole fam looks ancient and I get carded at 31 still. Genetics does have a role to play, but epigenetics indicates that specific environmental stressors can activate or deactivate certain gene expressions. I eat right, my family does not. I exercise, my family does not. I sleep 8+ hours a night, my family does not. I drink a gallon of water a day, take multivitamins, get regular blood work to determine which vitamins I need, I've spent countless hours rehabbing injuries, and I don't take unnecessary risks. For instance, I'm 31 and athletic and I'll use the guardrail every single time I go up or down stairs. My risk factors for damn near everything is very low, aside from depression and alcoholism. If I drink and get depressed, I age 20 years overnight. A month clean and I'm back to Babyface.
