Content: Just as your physical health needs ongoing care, your mental health also requires regular attention. When we nurture our mental health, we handle stress more effectively, recover from setbacks more quickly, sleep better, and physically heal more quickly. In many ways, mental health is the key to a healthier, happier existence. How Social Relationships Improve Your Health
Overwhelming research suggests that people with strong, supportive relationships live healthier, longer lives. Studies show that people with healthy relationships: Heal more quickly
Have lower blood pressure
Are less likely to experience a depression relapse
Are less anxious
Social relationships foster mental health in several ways: Relationships help provide people with purpose and meaning. Your friends and family might encourage positive health behaviors (like following a healthy diet, finding work-life balance, and making regular doctor’s appointments). Conversations with a good, empathetic listener can help relieve stress and help you process your emotions. Engaging in activities with friends (such as walking or playing sports) increases your energy and releases tension.
