When I was 20 I could drink, live on 2hrs sleep, eat junk and stay thin and work 20hrs a day.

Now at 40 I can’t drink without a week long hangover. I eat one wafer and put on 10 stone. I sleep 12hrs and still feel like shit.

Is this normal?

    Both. My blood pressure was terrible by the time I turned 40 from too many years of partying and eating garbage. Cutting sodium alone helped with blood pressure, but it also kind of forces you to limit your calorie intake as well so it helped me lose weight too

        100% yes! Lots of processed foods and fast food especially are LOADED with sodium. I was surprised that even things that didn’t taste salty like microwave meals still had tons of sodium in them
