Studies confirm that regular and active communication with other people has a positive impact on health and can increase life expectancy. Social interaction helps the body fight the effects of chronic stress and increase mental well -being.
Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Harvard Medical School Robert Voldinger claims that the key to health and happiness depends largely on positive relationships with others. According to him, a sense of loneliness and social isolation can be as dangerous as the obesity or smoking of half a pack of cigarettes daily. Social skills, like muscles, can eventually weaken if not used.
Scientists emphasize that the importance is not in the number of acquaintances, but as communication. Even a few close friends you regularly keep in touch can become a powerful resource to maintain health and life.
Experts also recommend that you avoid isolation and go out more, as social life helps maintain a mental balance. Even simple communication with neighbors or sellers in the store can have a positive impact.
Supporting living contact with people is not only pleasant but also useful for the body.
