Memorials may be made to The notion of relaxing on a beach all day in one's golden years is still a retire- ment dream for millions of adults across the globe. But many individuals also harbor a desire to keep working after retiring. Whether it's a volun- teering gig or a part-time job retirees are looking for, cer- tain qualities can make an opportunity uniquely suited to a post-retirement job. • Flexibility: Retirees may be looking to contribute to their communities or simply earn a little spending money, but they will likely still want the freedom to travel or spend time with their fami- lies whenever they choose. So flexibility is something to look for in a post-retirement job. This is what makes con- sultant work so attractive to retirees. In-person hours may not be required of con- sultants, who can then offer their input while visiting their grandchildren or traveling the world. • Socialization: Though the ability to work from home can make it easier for retirees to earn some extra money, some seniors aren't con- cerned about their finances but want to work so they can get out of the house. In that case, look for a job that offers the opportunity to socialize and meet new people. So- cializing as an older adult is a great way to fend off loneliness. In addition, one study published in 2007 in the jour- nal of the A m e r i c a n P u b l i c Health As- s o c i a t i o n found that social support net- works have a positive effect on cognition among older adults. So a post-retirement job that enables retirees to socialize could delay or re- duce the severity of age-re- lated cognitive decline. • Engagement: A job se- niors find engaging also is more likely to provide the types of benefits seniors are looking for in post-retirement work. For example, research- ers at Boston College's Sloan Center on Aging and Work found that seniors who find a job or volunteering opportu- nity truly engaging are more likely to benefit psychologi- cally from those experiences than those whose post-retire- ment work is not engaging. If seniors find themselves simply going through the mo- tions with their post-retire- ment work, they can look for opportunities that they can be more enthusiastic about. • Pressure-free: Regard- less of what retirees did for a living prior to calling it a ca- reer, chances are they dealt with work-related stress. In fact, the American Stress Institute reports that 83 per- cent of workers in the United States suffer from work-re- lated stress, while Statistics Canada reports that 62 per- cent of Canadian workers say work is their main source of stress. After a lifetime of confronting work-related stress, individuals who want to work in retirement should look for pressure-free oppor- tunities. This is an important quality, as the ASI indicates that stress has been linked to increased rates of heart at- tack, hypertension and other disorders. The right post-retirement job may differ from what in- dividuals looked for during their careers. Various quali- ties can combine to make for a post-retirement gig that benefits seniors in myriad ways. Cardiovascular disease claims more lives across the globe every year than any other disease or condition, and many of those fatalities are credited to heart disease. Though the terms "cardio- vascular disease" and "heart disease" are often used in- terchangeably, the National Heart, Blood and Lung Insti- tute notes that, while all heart diseases are cardiovascular diseases, not all cardiovas- cular diseases are heart diseases. This is an impor- tant distinction, especially as adults discuss heart and car- diovascular health with their physicians. The NHLBI reports that more than one in 10 Ameri- can adults have been diag- nosed with heart disease, which underscores the seri- ous threat posed by the vari- ous conditions that fall under the umbrella of the condition. Though NHLBI data indi- cates around 630,000 Ameri- cans die from heart diseases each year, many of those deaths are preventable. The same goes for Canada, where data from the Cana- dian Chronic Disease Sur- veillance System indicates that every hour roughly 14 Canadian adults age 20 and over with diagnosed heart disease lose their lives. Education is one of the ways in which deaths due to heart disease can be prevented. That's especially true when individuals learn to recognize warning signs of the disease and take prompt ac- tion once such indica- tors appear. • Chest pain: Dis- comfort between the neck and upper abdo- men is characterized as chest pain, which does not necessarily indicate the presence of heart disease. However, the experts at Mount Sinai indicate that chest pain is the most com- mon symptom of poor blood flow to the heart or a heart at- tack. Chest pain may occur because the heart isn't get- ting enough oxygen or blood. It's important that individuals recognize that the intensity of pain in the chest does not indicate the severity of the problem. That means that even mild discomfort in the chest should be brought to the attention of a physician immediately. • Shortness of breath: Shortness of breath can occur because the heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should, thus causing blood to back up in the veins that go from the lungs to the heart. Mount Sinai notes that this results in fluid leaking into the lungs, thus producing shortness of breath. Short- ness of breath can occur at any time, including when in- dividuals are active or at rest. • Coughing or wheez- ing: Another indicator of fluid buildup in the lungs re- lated to the heart is persis- tent coughing or wheezing. When coughing, individuals may spit up a pink or bloody mucus. • Swelling in the lower legs: Mount Sinai notes that swelling in the legs, ankles or feet is another indicator of heart troubles. One of the byproducts of a poorly func- tioning heart is slower blood flow, and that reduction in flow can cause a backup in the veins of the legs. That backup can cause fluid to build up in the tissues, which leads to swelling. Heart disease is a signifi- cant threat to public health. Learning to recognize signs of the disease can save an untold number of lives. Qualities to look for in a post-retirement job Early warning signs for heart disease
