Emotional Health for Retirees

Did you know that participating in activities that you enjoy may help support healthy aging? As people age, they tend to spend more time at home which can lead to isolation and depression. The National Institute on Aging tells us that older people who are socially active are:

•   Less likely to develop certain diseases.
•   Happier and less depressed.
•   Better prepared to cope with loss.
•   More likely to improve their thinking abilities.
•   Living longer.

Research your community for social activities and volunteer opportunities.

Stay on track

Schedule in new activities like taking a class or visiting a museum with your friends or neighbors.
