Most people know that having too much stress in their lives isn’t healthy but having too little is also very unhealthy especially as people age. Using your brain to make tough decisions on a regular basis is critical for long term mental heath and using your muscles on a daily basis is also critical for long term physical health.
The healthiest clients I have in their 80’s and 90’s have purpose every day they wake up. They worked later in life, had a regular role in taking care of grandkids, have a huge passion for physical things like gardening or do a lot or volunteering on a regular basis.
