You notice it more these days. Simple things that used to feel easy — getting through a full day without a nap, shaking off a winter sniffle, or enjoying a big family meal without that heavy, uncomfortable feeling afterward — now take a little more effort. You eat decently, stay active when you can, and follow your doctor’s advice, yet something still feels like it’s missing. Plenty of adults over 60 describe the same quiet frustration.
