Taking It Too Easy Can Be Bad For Your Health!
Retirement is often considered one of the benefits of a person’s mature
years. At last, one has time to rest from the daily grind, take a break, and
immerse oneself in truly meaningful things. You finally have time to look after
yourself after decades of stress and ruining your health just to make a living.
However, recent research shows that the practice of “restful” retirement can
actually be detrimental, if not downright dangerous. A recent UK study suggests
that inactivity can make a person’s health and appearance mirror that of a
person several years older. Taking it too easy actually speeds up aging.
However, this does not mean that you have to go to extremes and suddenly
start becoming a body-builder or devotee of extreme sports. Rather, a little
physical activity (about 2.5 hours of it a week) can make a big difference.
Walking, cycling, gardening, and other relatively light, fun activities count.
Even if you decide to retire in the conventional manner, you should make an
effort to stay physically active, as far as your circumstances allow. Remember,
retirement need not equal simply sitting around the house all day.
We should also talk about the emotional and psychological effects of
retirement. These are at least as important as the physical/physiological
implications. Suddenly going from a “regular” job and into retirement can be
rather traumatic—almost akin to the feeling some women experience when they are
officially in menopause. If a person felt very attached to his/her job, this can
also be linked to an identity crisis. If you are, to some extent, your
profession, who are you once you no longer practice it actively?
Retirement can also lead to much greater isolation, socially speaking.
Meeting people through work is no longer something you can just taking for
granted. Meeting people in other ways can become harder, too. People might
assume that once you have retired, you no longer need much company. After all,
the word “retire” is much like “retiring” (i.e. shy, quiet, and not fond of
social life). Of course, this stereotype does not hold for all retirees. Some of
them might actually want more social company than before, now that they are not
occupied with work. Unfortunately, retirees often have to content with society’s
expectations of the elderly, which they themselves may have absorbed.
If you are an athlete, for instance, you might become a coach, manager, or
sports commentator after retirement. If you are a politician or journalist, you
might end up going into the academe to educate others on your area of expertise.
Then again, it is possible that you will decide to pursue a completely different
activity. A person who has spent most of his/her younger and middle-age years in
the corporate world might follow them by a post-retirement artistic career. Why
not?
Re-examining conventional ideas about retirement can also help us to
reevaluate the way we look at older or elderly people. Instead of considering
them no longer useful or interesting, we can have a better understanding of how
they can still participate in and contribute to society—albeit sometimes in a
different way than people of other age groups do. Instead of marking off a day
when people are expected to withdraw from life and “make way” for others, we
should take a less rigid view of life stages.
