Exactly.
I'm 58 and have never broken any bones, been in the hospital, and I've had the flu 2 or 3 times. Although I do always get flu shots.
During my heavy drinking and smoking days, which I stopped right around 30, all my blood work was excellent, and my weight was 10 pounds over when I was in high school. Of course during high school you are not entirely physcially grown.
I'm certainly different from when I was 30, but still a lot healthier than a lot of people
To the OP, if you haven't been to the doctor since 15 because "you haven't felt sick" You're cheating yourself.
You could have high blood sugar or even diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or any number of things that will effect you later on, if you don't get a handle on it now.
You would probably have no idea by the way you feel if you had an issue that should be addressed and it could be a real problem in the future.
It's really not at all impressive you're in good shape at 30. Especially in this day and age. Sorry to burst your bubble.
