Retirement – Carbohydrate toxicity (Why change eating regime.)

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

Many of us entering retirement immediately recognize our inability to do simple life activities, getting out of a chair or walking up a set of stairs. Our body has given us great service all these years, and now needs to be found. We have used high sugar and carbohydrate foods to maintain our energy and mental awareness to do our “Big Money Career”. This use of food drugs kept us energized but has taken its toll on our body.

This TED talk YouTube video talks about the TOXICITY in carbohydrate toxicity. This is the scientific and medical foundation to the low carbohydrate recommendations in the eating regime covered in the book “Retirement: How Not to be Lonely, Tired and Bored.”

You have had a successful life, saved in a 401K for retirement, and even worked with professionals for financial planning advice. Just like you spent time and money fixing up your home, your body can use some help as well.

Retirement – “All you need is money,” is not true.

This book tells the story of denial, procrastination, uncertainty, and doubt that you go through as you approach and enter retirement.   The viewpoint taken is that of the principal wage earner. The chapters focus on alternative paths that can be taken and why the recommendation” all you need is money,” is not true.  It is also a must-read for spouses of retirees to better understand the severe impact that retirement has on their partner.

During your career, you are given financial advice on saving for retirement. You maintain a 401K, set aside money from your family for your own future use.  You may even get help by engaging a financial planner to guide your investing.  You are told that hobbies and vacations will fill your days with happiness and purpose. It may, but not likely.
