Five Golden Rules For Retirement

November 30, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Retirement can be a great time to re-assess your lifestyle and health. With more time on your hands you'll be free to try new things, whether it's forming new habits, learning a hobby or making new friendships.

Five tips for a positive retirement
Here's five things you can do to make your retirement as happy and healthy as you can.

1. Eat well. Healthy eating can do wonders for your wellbeing. Use your new relaxed schedule to try out some new recipes. You could even try a cooking course and learn a whole new cuisine!

2. Keep active. Physical activity is important for maintaining a healthy body, and it can be as simple as a daily walk to the shops. But with any kind of exercise, be sure to check with your doctor about what is right for you.

3. Exercise your mind. Doing some form of mental activity every day can help your memory, your concentration and your focus. Whether you enjoy reading novels, doing crossword puzzles or taking on challenges like learning a new language, a bit of mental stimulation can go a long way.

4. Socialise. Be sure to set aside plenty of time each week for socialising. This could mean spending time with friends and family or participating in community activities. And joining a social club is a great way to make new friends who share similar interests.

5. Manage your health. As you get older, it's important to see your doctor for regular check-ups and to discuss any health issues you may be experiencing.

Plan ahead
While it's important to keep healthy and happy now, it's also important to plan for the future. That's why taking out funeral insurance can be a good idea.

By paying a lump sum benefit to your family when the time comes for your funeral, you can save them from financial distress at an already emotional time. And by choosing a funeral plan through Australian Seniors Insurance Agency, you're guaranteed cover if you're an Australian resident aged between 50 and 79.
