How much more slowly injuries heal. Get a cut on your hand? That'll take two weeks to heal. Catch a cold and you're down for a solid week. I'm only in my 30's but I feel like a decade ago it would have only taken a few days to recover from a minor injury or illness.
Edit: Thanks for the concern guys. I really do appreciate it. I get checked out fairly regularly. "Two weeks" is probably an exaggeration. I just mean it takes longer than it used to.
That's a little bit worrisome. It should happen only at maybe 60. Talk to a doc and maybe have your blood tested or something.
You might have problems with your insulin levels, better check with the doctor.
Cuts still heal just fine for me about I'm about to hit 30, maybe you have some nutrient deficiencies?
