Health

How many times have we been told that we need to save enough money for retirement, but we are not told that if we have not taken care of our health then it doesn't matter how much you have saved as you may very well not be able to enjoy your retirement. 

I was recently reading that 74% of individuals see medical costs as their biggest expense in their senior years as health and medical costs are the biggest financial worry for Canadians later in life.  However, I don't believe that this needs to be the case if you take care of yourself when you are young.  This means that we must manage our stress, exercise, eat properly and get enough rest.

So under this section, you will find different articles in regards to health care.  As I am not a doctor, nor do I have any medical training, these common sense views are mine.  Hopefully, they will help you to live a healthier life.

Remember to write down any questions that you may have prior to your appointments with your health care providers in order that you don't forget to ask about anything important!
