<p>Here are a few tips that will help you zip along with a little bit more zest for life:</p>
<p>1. Volunteer--Your whole life can't be about you. Share the wonderful attributes and skills you have developed through the years. There was a great study done by John Hopkins regarding elderly volunteers. They studied a number of elderly adults that spent time tutoring students to read better, check out books, and play cooperatively. The results showed the volunteers experienced a meaningful improvement in their own physical and mental health. This is a two for one. By helping someone else, you will benefit yourself and lift someone else's spirit.</p>
<p>2. Natural stress buster--Find a natural stress buster that suits you. Although you may be retired, life can still be stressful. As such, why not look into natural ways to help you reduce the tension in your life. Some natural stress busters are exercise, artistic expression, and application of the Alexander Technique. Pick one that fits your schedule and is fun for you. </p>
<p>3. Fulfill your dream--Do something you have always dreamed of doing. Every person has at least a few things they have put off doing either because of time restraints or lack of money. Or, maybe you just dismissed your dream because you didn't have the courage to do it. It doesn't have to be a big drawn out thing. For some people just taking art lessons might be their unfulfilled passion. Whatever it is, now is the time to go for it.</p>
<p>4. Magnetic jewelry--The use of magnets is a natural and safe way to improve health. Magnetic therapy should be used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and is not meant to cure disease.

<p>6. Eat healthier and start juicing--Most of us already know that too many refined sugars and packaged foods are not a healthy diet. Add more vegetables and fruits into your diet.
