“Social Participation Paves the Manner for Profitable Getting old”, a assessment article in Neuroscience Information, discusses a examine that adopted 7000 older Canadians over a three-year interval. These with extra social participation (volunteer work or leisure actions) had been extra more likely to stay in good well being over the three years. This matches in with the idea of social assist, which I had beforehand listed as one of many “4 pillars” of wholesome growing old.

I preferred this quote from the article: “‘Social prescribing’, a apply the place medical professionals prescribe social actions, is gaining traction as a non-pharmacological intervention to assist well being in older adults.” That seems like an awesome thought to me!
