Retirement calls for taking up a hobby to make the best of the newly found spare time.
“Keeping active is not enough, it is important to get out and do something unfamiliar and mentally challenging” lead researcher Dr. Denise Park said in a statement. Fortunately, photography fits those criteria very well for most seniors.
