60s

This stage of your life should be a time of peace and tranquility – when you have the time to do the things, which you always dreamt about. But in most men's lives, this is also a time of change and adjustment, especially if it is punctuated by retirement, bereavement or some other change in life circumstances.

If you have always been healthy, there is no reason why this stage in your life should be any different. But there are certain things which you should be on the lookout for and which you can do quite a lot to prevent. So let Health24 help you make this phase of your life a rewarding, stimulating and healthy one.

Emotional development

Generally you will find that your emotional state does not change radically as you grow older. If you have always been socially active and involved in a large number of activities, it shouldn't change when you retire. It is important to remain involved in the things you enjoy.

Your body

Okay, so 60 is a little late in life to take up ice hockey at your local rink. But there’s a lot you can still do. Most importantly, keep active and look after yourself properly.
