  • You don’t need as much sleep as you age; you will inevitably get dementia if you live long enough; older people shouldn’t exercise strenuously for fear of injury. We grow up hearing such tropes, but many of them are not borne out in science.
     

  • For Tony Cond, writing a memoir was revelatory. “I’ve had a really good life,” he realized upon its completion. “This book is a culmination of me being able to say that to myself.”

  • How do you know it’s time to hang up the car keys for good? Is it when you hit 80? When you’ve had a stroke? When your kids sit you down and say, “You need to call it quits”?

Sage60 gives Sage readers fresh content four times a year, and it releases six weeks after each print edition. In this edition, we celebrate Canada’s best bites by consulting chefs and culinary authors to come up with one quintessential ingredient from each province and territory. We also ramp up for summer with a story on super-active retirees who share their secrets to staying fit and continually moving. In a story that seems counter-intuitive to run online, we share strategies from the experts on how to limit your doomscrolling now that you’re retired and why limiting it is important. (And we stand by our claim that Sage60 is safe to read at all times.) Finally, we talk to several members who have secured themselves some ink after their 60th birthday. They share their reasons for getting tattoos and their experiences in doing so.

A study has shown that 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week can reduce all-cause mortality by 31 per cent compared with no physical activity.

There are many good reasons to escape the thrall of your smartphone, including avoiding “suffering from retirement.”
