Benefits of Social Interaction
By Diane Robert
One of the five pillars of longevity is maintaining social connections throughout our lifetime. Each of us is hard-wired genetically to connect with others, supporting the notion that “No man is an island”. Frequent social interaction supports our physical and mental health in several ways.
➥ Enhanced Immunity
➥ Lowered risk of heart attack and stroke
➥ Lowered blood pressure
➥ Reduced risk of chronic disease as it reduces chronic inflammation.
➥ Decreased the risk of cognitive decline
Public Places to Interact Socially
