And knee and back operations are now more common among the 36-45 age group than any other.<\/p>\n<p>Even millennials (16-25s) are increasingly undergoing knee operations, and they&#8217;re now one of the top five most requested procedures among this age group.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Iley puts the alarming rise down to our stressful lifestyles. The &#8220;always on&#8221; nature of modern living has led to the emergence of &#8220;Generation Stress&#8221;, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Iley recommends we slow down, look after our mental health, ensure we&#8217;re getting enough sleep and take enough time to &#8220;relax and unwind&#8221;. As Dr Iley rightly reiterates, most of us in our 20s and 30s have decades of life left ahead of us, so it&#8217;s worth paying attention to our health and cultivating good habits now, before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.refinery29.uk\/2016\/11\/130997\/young-people-medical-procedures-stress-haemorrhoids-varicose-veins\">Refinery 29 UK<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been a &#8220;striking&#8221; rise in the number of young people needing medical procedures typically associated with old people,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=176"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176\/revisions\/177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alternativemedicine.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
