Canadian Right to Food Trial: 05-09March2012 in Calgary, Alberta

Studies show that the later you retire, the longer you live on average. So if you want to have a long life, keep working for as long as possible. It is no coincidence that people are known to die within a couple of years after full retirement, because it is essentially your body telling itself that it is no longer useful, so it shuts down. Sort of like why when an animal in the wild becomes too sick to be beneficial to its pack, it leaves the pack and goes off to die. Writers, actors, politicians, activists and business people etc. tend to live longer than an average person, because their job is essentially a lifelong commitment. These types of people don't retire at the time most other people do. Interestingly, not only has it been shown that those who retire later live longer, but that when they do retire, they live longer in retirement than those who retired early. Most of those who retire at a later age, are also more likely to take part in senior communities, such as fundraising, so their life expectancy is increased then also.
