Friendships & Family
Loneliness is an epidemic that is plaguing developed countries more than ever before. You can blame technology, but there is more to it than that. Social time is a valuable piece of our human existence. Without friends and family, your mind will suffer. People aren’t meant to be alone all the time.
Older individuals have been found to live longer and with better quality when they are close to someone else. One study even reported that 93 percent of men age 65 and older thrive because they had a good relationship with their sibling(s) when they were younger.
That is why hanging out with friends and family once in a while feels so recharging!
