TIREMENT
ents. Glacier by Sanlam spoke to 82 retirees about their recipe for a
ity, good health, staying connected and looking forward with positivity.
Ingredient 2: good health
Staying in good physical and mental health is pivotal to enjoying retirement to the fullest.
Exercising the brain will help it form new connections necessary to ward off dementia.
Additionally, it’s important to eat healthily and incorporate a daily exercise regime.
‘Health is worth
more than wealth,
any day.’
Prepare for health curveballs by ensuring
you’ve got proper cover in place
Stay busy – draw up a daily schedule and
try and stick to it
Learn a new hobby or find a stimulating
passion project to pursue
Final ingredient:
looking forward with positivity
For a recipe to work, it needs to be made with the right attitude.
The best food is made with love; the best life is built through
purpose. To move forward and make the most of retirement,
you need to come to terms with and accept the past and look
forward with positivity. Here are some of the things Glacier’s
participating retirees prioritise:
A daily surf (70-year-old female)
Founding a jazz band and music society
(65-year-old male)
‘I’m not a stay-at-home
granny who knits.’
Finishing a master’s degree in
astrophysics (61-year-old male)
