    40s

    The biggest health risks now are chronic pain which can be restricted through low stress, medical checkups, and a ealth diet, and still staying active.
    Blood glucose levels and osteoporosis are also big health concerns during this age.
    Another issue that could develop (or in my case worsen) during the 40s is anxiety and depression which need to be talked about ith a heath care provider.
