Thriving in retirement
Retirement isn’t a finish line, but a new phase of life that can last 25 years or more. Here are five ways to care for your physical, emotional and mental health to help you enjoy retirement to its fullest.
Main content sections arranged visually down the page:
ENJOY SOME FRESH AIR
Spending time in nature can lower the stress hormone cortisol and decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease.1
Walking, hiking, biking and kayaking are fun and healthy ways to spend time outside.
USE TECH TO STAY FIT
Wearable gadgets like Fitbits and Apple Watches can help motivate you to stay active and healthy.
Apps like MapMyWalk or Strava help track your fitness accomplishments, connect with other exercise enthusiasts and encourage friendly competition.
FIND YOUR ZEN
Elevate both your body and mind through thoughtful exercises.
Yoga, Pilates and tai chi are fun, low-impact ways to move your body while practicing mindfulness.
EAT FOODS THAT FUEL YOU
Eating whole foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein – and limiting processed foods like cookies and crackers – can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease.2
KEEP LEARNING
Explore activities that keep your brain firing. Learn a new language, take up painting, do crossword puzzles or read the latest best-selling book. This can help prevent memory loss and keep your brain sharp.3
