Time is like a butcher's knife. Why do NBA players age so quickly?

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, many NBA stars live a glamorous life with no worries about food and clothing, but they also have an unknown side, which makes them age faster than ordinary people. First of all, their recipes are formulated by others, and fat intake is strictly controlled on their menus. Many players live like ascetics. A long-term lack of fatty food intake will definitely affect their health. And they must also restrain their desires, quit smoking and drinking, and control their living habits

At the same time, in order to maintain their competitive status, they must exercise regularly. Long-term high-intensity training will undoubtedly overdraw them. Even if they are injured, many players still have to insist on training, which poses hidden dangers to their future health. Although they have achieved career success, the price they paid is their physical health.

In order to survive in the NBA, players must exercise an astonishing amount of exercise every day, whether in games or training. Coupled with the player's superior height and weight, the player's own metabolism is much higher than that of ordinary players. People, organs such as the heart are also under greater pressure.

Moreover, NBA teams are located in various cities in the United States, as well as Toronto, Canada, and games are also played at night, which means that players spend most of their time flying around and cannot get Enough rest to relieve physical fatigue, especially in some back-to-back games. Just after finishing the late game, they need to immediately go to the next city to prepare for tomorrow's game. This puts the players' bodies in a high-fatigue situation. Continuing to play high-intensity games is no longer simply overdrafting the health of the players, but also overdrafting their lives.
