ABSTRACT

People are more interested in proving how they are the exception to health rules rather than believing they could be part of the majority. With the advent of social media and instant, accessible feedback it is clear that general health messaging has become confusing. However, the reality of what many believe about retirement rarely considers the impact of worsening health and the benefits the working environment brought to keep health and wellbeing in place. Health messaging is a very difficult message to get across in a contextual and inclusive fashion, yet without being personalised to the individual reader it seems to be irrelevant and ignorable. Digestion is an ever-growing area of focus in health. Digestion and sleep will be the big areas for focus in future years as our understanding of the gut’s role in general health grows with new findings. A healthy mind and body, it is important for readers' future that they have a healthy bank account too.
