“An apple a day makes the
doctor away” it says but what if “ a good everyday makes the doctor away”?
Recent studies said that being
good and doing good can contribute to one’s good health and well-being. Just do
good and be good to others that comes from your heart studies says can make you
healthy, happy, and have long life.
‘”Although
many people are not aware of it, more and more research has weighed in to
demonstrate how being good to others is good for you—for your well-being,
health, and even your longevity.”(Psychology Today)
“Those who provided
instrumental support to friends, relatives, and neighbors, as well as those who
provided emotional support to their spouses, were more likely to be alive at
the end of the study period compared with less pro-social participants….More
than 10 studies have also demonstrated that regular voluntary work predicts longevity. Helping behavior can even buffer against the negative
effect that stress typically has on mortality…” (Psychology Today)
“There thus seems to be
something rooted in our very human nature that makes helping feel good across
cultures. This is corroborated by neurological studies that have confirmed charitable donations indeed activate
the reward centers of the brain.” (Psychology Today)
“A dose of good deeds toward
others, then, can thus be good medicine for improving one’s physical and mental
health.” (Psychology Today)
So be good and receive good.
