QUOTED:

I’ll Retire When I’m Dead: “The ideal is for retirement to be a period of rejuvenation and relaxation. After 40 years of work, people finally get to enjoy their time and hard-earned money. The reality is that it often leads to a severe decline in mental and physical health. Retirement “raises the probability of poor health,” increases difficulties with mobility and worsens mental health … Other studies have found retirees are 40 percent more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than their working peers, and that retirement increases the probability of depression by, coincidentally, 40 percent.” – John McDermott in We Are Mel 

“Every molecule in your brain starts at the end of your fork.” – Drew Ramsey, MD on the new trend, “Nutritional Psychology”
