PLANNING YOUR RETIREMENT
Health maintenance tips for retirement
Goodliealth is essential to enjoying a good
retirement. Here is a checklilst of health
maintenance tips, extracted from "Retiure-
ment Can Be Your Best Years", Len Douse;
published by the Ministry of Indian and Nor-
thern Affairs.
•We can remember to consult a doctor when
signs appear that there may be something
wrong with us. Then, follow the doctor's in-
structions and take whatever medication or
treatment Is prescribed.
•We can have periodic medical check-ups,
more often as we grow older and feel our
physical condition deteriorating.
•We can try to keep our weight down to -what
the charts show they should be for our age,
structure and height. This means sensible
eating, not overeating. It also means eating
nutritious foods and making sure that we eat
a balanced diet, with sufficient, but not
more, of all the necessary vitamins. A word
of caution here though; do not go on a
"crash" starvation diet or system of weight -
reducing exercises or treatments without
first consulting your doctor or -you may do
yourself more harm than good.
•We can exercise regularly. Walking,
almost a lost habit in these days of cars, can
be beneficial. Two to four miles of brisk
walking each day can be helpful, assuming,
of course, that one's heart is sound. Cycling
can provide a great deal of relaxing
pleasure as well as useful exercise. It is sug-
gested that before undertaking any form of
special exercise, calisthenics or fitness pro-
gram, you make sure through your doctor
that there are no physical reasons why you
should not exercise.
•We can reduce, or better still, eliminate
smoking. Common sense dictates such ac-
tion. Inhaling cigarette smoke can be
harmful.
•We can take action to keep our teeth
healthy by regular check- ups by our den-
tist, or if we use dentures, we can make sure
they always fit properly. Relining should be
done when needed.
•We can take care of our eyes and eyesight
by visits to an ophthalmologist if we have
eye trouble or failing eyesight. We must
make sure our eyeglasses provide the best
sight possible.
•We can take care of our ears, and if our
hearing begins to fail, have them examined
by a specialist. Do not buy a hearing aid
before consulting a medical specialist.
•We can ensure that we get adequate rest
and sleep. Only we know how much sleep we
need to keep healthy and avoid fatigue.
•We can try to avoid worry by not creating
unnecessary problems such as living
beyond our means or becoming emotionally
involved in situations or issues which can
only lead to frustrations. Think of the causes
of worry which you have experienced in the
past and try to avoid them in the future.
•We can keep our minds active and alert, by
involvements, interests, challenges and
mental activity.
•We can try to avoid unnecessary physical
and mental stresses and strains.
