Social Interaction Makes You Smarter and Healthier!!!

Well, maybe not.  But studies prove that it does improve brain functions and improves health.  It’s true!  I was looking up some information on the benefits of socialing and came across this interesting psychological research.  Here’s what I found:

  • Social interaction involves behaviors that require memory, attention, and control.  These mental processes are also involved in many cognitive tasks.  Thus social interaction would act as a prime, it would “oil” these processes so that they are ready to be used when a cognitive task is to be solved.
  • The physical health benefits of socializing were equal to physical exercise, even though the social activities involved almost no physical exertion.  It wasn’t physical activity or physical health but feeling worthwhile that led to longer life.  Good health and eating counted, but it was social interaction that was responsible for the results.
  • Positive social interaction can buffer the physiological effects of stress.

Conversations, sharing, being in touch with others who have active, involved lives gives living a purpose.  Sharing with friends helps multiply the joys and divide the sorrows.  So, get together with some friends, family, and colleagues.  Have a dinner party, family game night, or wine tasting.  Celebrate not just the big things, but all things!  It can only help!
