We shared some tips on healthy aging, but you will need to follow specific guidelines while living in retirement. You will deal with a number of different health issues as you get older. You will want to make sure that you take care of yourself properly. This means that you have to manage your stress, stay reasonably active, follow a sound diet and avoid injuries as much as possible.

Where do you see yourself during retirement? Maybe you’re planning the trip of a lifetime, maybe you’re going to volunteer for one of your favourite causes or maybe you just want to put your feet up and enjoy a work-free life.

Whatever your retirement looks like, the sudden change in lifestyle can come as quite a shock. Going from working five days a week to an endless stretch of uninterrupted time can be, whilst a very welcome change, somewhat daunting. Here are just a few ways in which you can enjoy a healthy and fruitful retirement.

Wind down gradually

If you’re worried about going from full-time work to absolutely nothing in the space of a weekend, you’re not alone. Such a huge change takes some getting used to and your body will take time to acclimatize to the new rhythm. You will need to practice holistic stress management tips, which involves not getting overwhelmed.

Staggered retirements are becoming more and more popular with people reducing their working hours over months and years. Plus, there’s the financial aspect to consider; as the cost of living rises, people are working longer to preserve their pensions.

Exercise regularly

When it comes to exercise, you’re as young as you feel. Keeping fit is the key to enjoying a healthy retirement. With many gyms offering gentle exercise classes like Pilates and aqua aerobics for older people, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and meet new people.

If you live far away from a gym, why not install one at home? Liquidate some funds with an equity release mortgage so you can turn your spare room into a fully equipped workout station!

Take care of your mental health

You might not have to endure work-related stress anymore, but that doesn’t mean that you should stop paying attention to your mental health during retirement. In fact, those later in life are more likely to experience poor mental health than those who are younger, with many suffering from depression and loneliness.

Protect your mental health by talking regularly about your concerns, ask for help whenever you need it, plan thoroughly for what happens after you pass away and keep in touch with loved ones. If this means buying a smartphone so you can call your granddaughter on the other side of the world, so be it!

Eat well

Seeing as you’re likely to be less active compared to pre-retirement, it’s a good idea to watch your diet and cut down on the junk food. With more time on your hands, experiment with new, healthy recipes that are low on fat, sugar, and salt.

Eating a nutritious diet is key to combatting diet-related chronic illnesses, keeping your mind agile, and staying on top of your mental health.

Stay Healthy During Retirement

Retirement can be an enjoyable time, but many retired adults also face a number of health concerns. It is important to live a healthy lifestyle as you age and begin your retirement.
