No amounts of servings of broccoli, fruit or grains will replace the five critical requirements necessary for a healthy retirement.
If you have worked most of your life, you have psychological requirements that must be met or you will most likely contract what is commonly known as Emotional Retirement Anemia. You may be unaware of the benefits your years of working brought you that were integral parts of your life that soon became "requirements". But if you are to live fully in retirement, you must find replacements for them or suffer the consequences. They were:
- Financial Compensation
- Time Management
- Sense of Utility
- Status
- Socialization
The first is widely recognized as the only requirement for a healthy and successful retirement so most retirees plan for it. But those who deprive themselves of the other four will undoubtedly contract a debilitating case of Emotional Retirement Anemia or ERA.
Symptoms can be:
- Lack of structure or feeling out of sync with the beat of the culture around you.
- Loss of your feeling of value to others.
- Loss of identity and self worth.
- Feelings of disconnectedness, listlessness or loneliness.
Other symptoms might include: broken springs in your Easy Boy; a spouse who keeps telling you to get a life, cocktail hours beginning at noon, finding yourself unwelcome during your frequent visits to your kids, finding vacation planning as hard as working - or noticing most of your conversations with friends are about what you did in your former life.
Adding the missing daily retirement requirements to your diet is easy and normally produces immediate retirement fulfillment results.
