MEANS MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS NOW
- NICKY SNAZELL
A Long, Healthy Life

Many people dream of the day when they can say goodbye to the working world and dive into retirement. The question is: How do you make sure you’re healthy enough to enjoy retirement once you get there?

By making good decisions now that keep you on track for the lifestyle you will want then, that’s how.

I am a physiotherapist, and In recent years I have asked patients at my clinic to fill out a questionnaire about how they lead their lives. Their answers prove to be incredibly useful in letting me see where they need to improve their mindset, nutrition, fitness and lifestyle, all four of which are key indicators of health.

Once I have their answers, I then employ what I refer to as the “traffic lights” approach to health, so called because I analyze healthy and unhealthy habits for each of those four keys by saying whether the patient is green (good), amber (room for improvement) or red (poor).
