Wake up in the morning, get out of bed, and swear your body is older than it is? Well, 64% of Americans age 25-45 physically feel older than their actual age. The new research also found that 4 in 10 they have aches and pains with identifiable source.

Part of the problem for adults? Actually being an adult. 4 in 10 admitted the top struggle was being responsible for their physical health like making their own doctor’s appointments. Also in the top of the list was not buying nutritious foods when grocery shopping (but the junk food isle looks so delicious, am I right?).
