Retirement is a time in life when people transition out of the workforce with more free time to enjoy life. But, when we do so, we are leaving our paychecks behind. We will need to live on income from Social Security, employer pensions and 401(k)s, and other savings and investments. For most people, this is far easier said than done.

Today, we're going to be talking about one of the most important topics for older adults in the United States - Medicare. It's rather surprising that only 22% of people are well-versed with Medicare, as per research conducted by nonprofit Transamerica Institute. This could be because many adults rely on employer-sponsored health insurance most of their lives, so when they retire, they may not be well-versed on Medicare.Welcome to ClearPath – Your Roadmap to Health & Wealth SM. I'm your host, Al Waller. Joining me today is Mihaela Vincze, public health expert, for nonprofit Transamerica Institute® and she’s going to be breaking down Medicare—what it is, why it’s important, how to enroll, and where to turn to if you have any questions.

Air pollution can be caused by a variety of factors, many of which have dire consequences for our health. For instance, the recent series of wildfires across the country has led to unhealthy air quality that can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Moreover, emissions from factories and cars, as well as the burning of fossil fuels like oil or coal, are also major contributors to air pollution. Even seemingly harmless household activities can release pollutants into the air we breathe.

It's no secret that water is vital to good health because every part of the body needs water to function properly specifically all cells, tissues and organs, which has got me wondering are we really getting enough. How do we know? Are some sources of water better for our bodies than others?
