At least reduce to part time before retiring, or find something productive to do in your retirement. Even if it means becoming passionate about a hobby.\u00a0 Long term vacation, and unemployment are readily linked to degradation of health.\u00a0 Taking the active path vs the passive retirement path will increase your chances of avoiding the dreaded nursing home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Work that provides mental activity, a proper diet, and exercise to provide physical activity, if ones occupation doesn&#8217;t have it, are essential to aging well, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/health\/retirement-shouldnt-mean-a-vacation-until-death\/\" title=\"Retirement Shouldn&#8217;t Mean A Vacation Until Death\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1399,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[35],"class_list":["post-145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aging","tag-senior-citizens"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
