We're social creatures.
It's true: our brains are wired to connect. Even at rest, we activate a network that promotes understanding and empathy for others.

So what does this mean for you? It means that interactions with friends, family, community members—even strangers—can provide us with a sense of connectedness. The benefits of maintaining strong social relationships extend from chronic disease prevention to increased longevity. Evidence has demonstrated that social connection can help people maintain a healthy body mass index, manage blood sugar, improve cancer survival, decrease depressive symptoms, and improve overall mental health.
In one study, researchers analyzed data from over 300,000 individuals and found that stronger relationships increased the likelihood of survival by 50%. Weak social relationships posed an even higher risk of death than physical inactivity and obesity.
