People are living longer after they retire. What are the problems? What can be done to solve these problems?
Many people think that somebody starts living once he retires. But
that is
not true in most cases. Retired people face complications such
as well-being issues
and social isolation. To counter these issues
they have to have health
insurance and friends of the same age
group. This
essay will depict the problems
and the solutions in detail.
When we think about the problems
associated with the afterlife of retirement, we find that the paramount problem is keeping good health
. Many old age
people suffer from health
issues
like Diabetes, insomnia. These health
problems
make their lives
hard to live. Additionally
, another major problem is social isolation. The old has to spend their time
alone because their children either live in a separate house or spend much time
in their offices. In both these cases, there is no one to take care of them or to talk with them, which eventually makes them bored and they get frustrated with their lives
. For example
, the recent survey, conducted by the Social Welfare Department of the USA, states that the old who have been alone and facing health
issues
are no longer interested in living their lives
. This
matter is heart-wrenching for us.
As every problem has a solution, these problems
can also
be resolved by adopting certain measures. The health
-related abnormalities can be tackled by doing exercises every day. Diabetes and insomnia can be reduced if a person
walks for 5-7 km in the morning and refrain from eating sugary products. Furthermore
, killing boredom is possible if a person
finds friends of the same age
group. There are many senior citizen clubhouses formed in the cities in which an elderly person
can enrol themselves to get accompanied by other members of the same age
. For instance
, Deccan Gymkhana in Pune is the most famous clubhouse in the state which organises great activities for the old age
group to spend time
happily with other members. The members of this
clubhouse enjoy their lives
in a better way.
To conclude, I feel that old age
is the time
when a person
is the most helpless because of health
and social problems
. However
, these problems
can be mitigated if a proper precaution is taken to be healthy and enrolling in a good social club to kill boredom.Submitted by ankit9941 on
