Hasn't anyone noticed that each generation has its own set of ailments? Our grandmothers dealt with arthritis, arthrosis, strokes, alcoholism, heart attacks, thyroid issues, and diabetes. Our mothers had polyps, fibroids, and cysts. Now, the millennial generation is experiencing a high number of various cancers, which is frankly terrifying. It feels like everyone is getting cancer, like it's just another common cold, and some people just haven't caught it yet. It's really scary.
A month ago, I moved into my new apartment in the neighborhood. But it wasn't all smooth sailing – I… Скинула я вес с 60 до 56 кг. Вроде и не много, но по ощущениям тела это уже очень много. Отечность л…

My father's generation had a lot of alcoholics.
But I never really paid attention to that.
There were always plenty of various ailments.

My grandmother's generation (and hers too) had a lot of cancer. My mom's generation has had a lot of thyroid issues, arthritis, and cancer. I don't even want to talk about alcohol. Those who were adults in the 90s (especially the men) didn't get by without alcohol. My generation is already seeing some people with strokes and joint problems.

Cancer has always been around, and so many people died from it. Now, we're just better at detecting and treating it.
My daughter has a rare form of arthritis. This specific form used to be 98% fatal. Before 2012, there were almost no survivors with this diagnosis. Now, more and more children are being diagnosed with it, you know why? Because they're alive.

Everything you're writing about was observed 2 generations ago. People from the post-war era, who are now around 70, are riddled with arthrosis, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Women all had late-diagnosed fibroids and removed uteruses. Many had parts or nodes of their thyroid removed due to deficiency and lack of access to nutrient-rich food during the severe deficit of the 90s.
It's just that everything you're writing about now wasn't important or interesting to you then. It wasn't pleasant to talk about openly, and statistics were kept and discussed in specialized circles. Now there are open sources, you've grown to understand the scale of the problem and have a healthier attitude towards your health. Nothing has changed since then...
