I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

Beside obvious recommendations from other posts (visit a doctor, do exercise, eat healthy, sleep well etc)…
The truth is - aging is a bitch! It starts probably even before birth and start clearly manifesting itself usually in 30s. So welcome!
And the “best” part is - currently we do not have a medicine to reverse it, so at some point at the age of around 80-90 it will most probably kill you unless something else kills you first, or unless we develop effective cure. I don’t want to be morbid here or spread anxiety. I am writing this to accent the seriousness of aging and the need to tackle it. You can request your government to provide grants to researchers to reverse aging or if you are European propose researchers to apply for already existing grant call from EIC, propose your medical universities to participate in XPRIZE Healthspan, etc.
As you are quite young, if you are generally healthy, the best thing you can do really is doing the basics (as your mom told you) AND ESPECIALLY campaigning for development of aging-reversal therapies! Those are the only hope to be still kicking well in 80s in good health, and beyond.
If you are more interested, there is a community !longevity@mander.xyz and I also recommend the book Ageless by Andrew Steele, which provides great balance between scientific rigor and entertaining approach to public.
