Dying Early Comes With Early Retirement Says Study
Two things here. One is that many who retire early do so because of health issues rather than desire to stop working. But for those who choose to stop working the other risk may be lack of activity. This is where regular exercise, social engagement, and something that gives you purpose can keep you healthy both physically and mentally. Here again is my argument for taking up tennis if you aren't a player or to get back into it if you can play and have stopped. Those who stay with the game are the best candidates for long term health and overall happiness.
Loneliness Can Make You Sick
Stay social. Go out and participate in something and of course my preference is tennis and I hope it might be yours.
