5 easy ways to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit during retirement
5 easy ways to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit during retirement
- Chiropractic: Chiropractic care promotes long-term pain relief for senior patients. Chiropractic care will also increase mobility and improve balance. Better quality sleep, improved mood, and higher energy levels can all be attained by older adults who seek chiropractic care on a regular basis.
- Purpose: Many studies amongst different demographics have shown that maintaining a strong sense of purpose is associated with a host of positive attributes at these ages. One way that many retirees find purpose in retirement is by volunteering their time and labor at homeless shelters and animal shelters.
- Social network: Maintaining a good social life adds meaning to life and strengthens self-worth. Staying socially connected can also provide support, making it easier to handle problems and gives us something to do and someone to do it with. Start by finding a group of people with common interest and join a book club or partake in weekly game nights.
- Stay active: Staying active in retirement benefits your physical and mental health and discovers some of your hidden skills, exciting hobbies, and talents that you might have. It can also keep your cognitive function from aging and supports you to stay mentally active compared to other older adults. Some ways to stay active during retirement could include tennis, golf, gardening, bowling, etc.
- Mental stimulation: Retirees can do things to keep their brains as sharp as when they were working, and they are easy to do. The more active our minds are, the less likely it is that seniors develop mental health problems and physical disabilities. Word games, puzzles, card games, and reading are all ways you can stimulate your brain during retirement.

Is Your Computer Damaging Your Posture?
Is Your Computer Damaging Your Posture?
This is how you can maintain good posture while working on the computer
Since online school and working from home has become our new norm here are a few tips and tricks to maintain good posture. One of the most common postural issues is forward head posture, some of the many things that lead to forward head posture is computer ergonomics, video games, and backpacks. Positioning computer screens too low leads to looking down and moving the head forward to read the screen. To avoid forward head posture, you will need to reposition your work area. Start by keeping hips, knees, and elbows at 90 degrees. Along with having the computer screen just above eye level and having your keyboard close to your bellybutton with your elbows on an armrest. Keeping your back upright with a pillow supporting the curve in your low back is key. Every 20-30 minutes, sit up straight and pull the neck and head back over the shoulders.
