During a family trip to Costa Rica a couple of years ago, we encountered many sloths, those tree-dwelling mammals with the lowest metabolic rate of any mammal, known for hanging upside down in a tree and for their sluggish movement.
In his book, HOW TO RETIRE Happy, Wild, and Free, Ernie Zelenskyy reminds us that:
1. Staying physically and mentally active is the easiest way to retire happy, wild, and free.
2. Slothfulness increases the risk for many chronic disease including colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
3. Retiring rich, but unhealthy, won’t do you much good. Without good health you can never be rich.
I’ve been exercising a lot since retiring.
Vigor is one of the antonyms for slothfulness.
I’ve noticed that vigorfulness increases the need for intermittent ice packs, heating pads, and ibuprofen 😏!
