Raising Three Little Princesses

Researchers at Brigham Young University and The University Of North Carolina recently published a study that indicates what can give you a longer life expectancy than not smoking.

It doesn’t have anything to do with what kind of Utah health insurance or North Carolina health insurance you have – it has to do with social connections.

The study “found that those with poor social connections had on average 50% higher odds of death in the study’s follow-up period (an average of 7.5 years) than people with more robust social ties.”

It makes sense, when we have family members and friends who care about us and treat us well we are happier and less stressed which can boost our immune system.

Be kind to your friends, family members and those around you – let them feel like they can turn to you for help – you just might be helping someone live longer and in turn expanding your life expectancy.
