Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., but it often goes overlooked in retirement planning. Kathleen Coxwell highlights that the risks of heart attack increase after retirement due to stress, loss of purpose, and lifestyle changes. By focusing on heart-healthy habits such as a proper diet, regular exercise, finding purpose, and having a detailed retirement plan, retirees can significantly improve both their health and well-being.

Quotes to ponder:
"Heart disease is both the leading cause of death in the U.S. and the most preventable."

"The key to regular exercise is less the exercise than the regular."
