Frequent and active communication can not only improve your mood, but also really extend life. These are the results of a large -scale study conducted by Harvard Medical School experts.
Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Robert Voldinger, who studied the impact of social ties on well -being, notes that the main component of health and happiness is a qualitative relationship with other people.
According to him, a constant feeling of loneliness and social isolation can be as harmful to the body as obesity or the habit of smoking half a pack of cigarettes daily. Moreover, communication skills have the ability to "atrophies" if not used.
Researchers do not give clear instructions, but insist: the thing is not in the number of friends, but in the depth of interaction. Even short daily conversations with several loved ones already have a powerful therapeutic effect.
But the isolation should be avoided. Scientists emphasize that active social life - even in the form of communication with sellers, colleagues or neighbors - significantly improves the mental state and helps to tolerate stress.
