Have you seen or been in contact or even lost friends that has you wondering is retiring from a full time job the best for our on good? I have and it's a little disturbing, because seemingly there health changed for the worst when they no longer had a regular work routine. Maybe when we are not pushed or challenged we tend to get lazy on care of our self and continued intellect advances. However I would like some day to not have to continue the same work schedule I am presently involved with now. But would need to be active in my field maybe on my time frame.Is early retirement a healthy idea, though? A study at Shell Oil company looked in to that very question and found that people who retired at age 55 had almost twice the risk of death compared to people who retired at age 60. Work is good for you - especially after retirement. So we "Working Seniors" keep on keeping on at our work fields because we are not only needed , but it's good for us.
Work is good for you, according to a new study, which concluded that disgruntled workers dreaming of early retirement may need to think again.

Older people who hold temporary or part-time jobs after retirement enjoy better physical and mental health than those who stop working entirely, according to recent US study.
Those who continue to work in their original field also have better mental health than those who change fields, according to the study published in the October issue of the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, a magazine published the American Psychological Association.
As we can see in some of the above studies, retiring from our field of work completely may create hazards to our health . So keep up the good work you "baby boomers" !!http://workingseniorsmoderntechnology.blogspot.com/
