#people #age #work
A can be seen, some
people
 believe that working up to the
age
 of 60 is enough for them.
However
, others believe that working depending on what
age
 they want is better. I strongly agree with the idea that
people
 should
work
 as long as they want. The reasons will be discussed in the following paragraphs before the conclusion is reached.
First
 of all, it is beneficial to
work
 because it boosts our physical health. According to research written by Mayoclinic, "
People
 who still
work
 after the
age
 of sixty tend to walk better than those who do not due to neurons that always
work
 and think.
For example
, my grandmom still works as a doctor at a hospital, even though she is almost 80 years old. Another reason is that working help prevents them from mental illness. Nowadays, there are a lot of seniors suffering from Alzheimer's ( a mental disease caused by abnormal neurons),
such
 as my cousin's grandfather.
However
,
this
 problem can be solved if we try to support the elders to
work
. According to The Washington Post, a newspaper company
,

 wrote that the elderly who always
work
 and think will be able to have a lower risk of being an Alzheimer's. In conclusion, it is more vital for
people
 to
work
 as long as want than retire at the
age
 of 60. It makes them healthier, and it makes them stay away from Alzheimer's.
Therefore
, we should
work
 until we think that it is enough for us.
