I’m in my mid 40s. I seem to recover from injury at about the same speed I did in my 20s (perhaps a little bit slower), but recovering from illnesses can take a little longer. I also noticed that I tend to get injured a little bit easier, especially twisting my ankles. But I’m in generally good health and eat a decent diet. If I didn’t take as good care of myself as I do, I could see my recovery times getting longer.

One thing I don’t recover from as quickly is a night of drinking. I’m much more likely to get hung over than I was when I was younger. I need to drink a lot more water.
