I think one of the best ways to maintain youth and health in your advancing years is to continue to work.

  maintain youth and health in your advancing years is to continue to work. Define “work”. Manual labour? Sitting in an office? Both have negative health impacts. The sort of work that prolongs quality of life is only a subset of the work there is economic demand for. A job which is active but not strenuous, basically. Most jobs are either physically hard work or mainly sedentary, with not much in between.

    Work: a purpose for being, and making you feel socially useful.

      Where do you get that these days? It's increasingly hard to find it on the job market.

        In an industry averse to employing older workers it’s probably a mistake to rely on your employer to provide meaning to your life.
