I've always been the "thin guy" in the group. Since I was a child, it was very hard for me to put on pounds. I've also not had a good constitution, meaning, I thought I was weaker than average and would get sick with fever, or at the minimum, colds, quite often. It was normal for me to have morning sniffles.
I think a lot of it had to to with my bout with primary complex tuberculosis as a toddler and my diet. I would only eat fried meats and rice. I hated veggies and was not much of a fruit person. In my time, proper nutrition wasn't really given much thought in my family. As long as you're full after a meal, that's already a-okay.
I'm now in my mid-40's and, for quite some time, had already accepted the physical limitations and body aches of human beings my age. Though I look younger than most people my age (they say), I could now say that I wasn't really as healthy as I could be. Even though I try to eat as healthy as I can on a daily basis, do calisthenics 3x per week and play badminton at least once a week, I would often feel breathless and really tired after my workout or badminton sessions.
