Today we will discuss about how no retirement is anything related to our health and longevity. Source:

In this Longevity podcast series, I'll be delving into three key aspects:  physical well-being, mental fitness and Ikigai- , a Japanese word for Life with a purpose.  In today’s episode, we will talk about the myth of physical activeness towards to longevity; and in the next episode , we'll explore the unconventional idea of eschewing retirement– a departure from the commonly pursued early retirement path among many Americans.    The idea of no retirement seems recently got some tractions among many.  But How is retirement or no retirement related to longevity? Please stay tuned to my next episode. The last one of this series will be life with Ikigai- live with a meaning.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life,  by Héctor García (Author), Francesc Miralles (Author)

Do you sometimes have body pains or soreness that you hope you can do something yourself to relieve the discomfort? Many years ago, one athlete friend told me that I can use tennis ball to self-massage my sore spots at home. Since then, I have become a big fan of it, I have used tennis ball on my back, neck, glutes and even under my feet. I found that it is such a simple and convenient  way to help relieve body pains and I couldn’t thank my athlete friend enough!

Using tennis ball to self massage has been around for quite a long time, there are books and articles talking about it. I’m going to dedicate this episode to go over the benefits and some guidelines on using tennis ball for self massaging. I hope this will give you some simple tool to address your body pains.
