Advances in medical technology and the prevalence of health concepts have made more and more people worldwide become centenarians. According to the Pew Research Center, by 2050, at least 400,000 people will be 100 or older.
New York, NY (Merxwire) – Have you tried exercising, eating more fruits and vegetables, and waking up early to improve your health? Each of the above methods is important for your health. Still, more and more research is now showing more chatting with people and being active in social activities is also an excellent way to maintain health, especially for the elderly.
Live well into old age, according to a 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, showing that people who are socially active and physically active live longer. The researchers looked at people between the ages of 70 and 90 and the relationship between how often they left the house and their longevity and found that people who went out every day lived longer than those who didn’t. It is speculated that the reason is that the elderly who go out regularly have the opportunity to participate in more social activities or sports, increase the time to interact with others, and thus increase their health and lifespan.
Humans are social animals and need to interact with people; isolation can be a big problem. In addition to providing emotional support, friends and family can also find out if you are sick and need medical attention. People in close contact with others are also more active in their lives. There is already a lot of research supporting the theory of active socialization, says Julianne Holt-Lunstad, Ph.D., a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham Young University, in a 2022 study that suggests people who have more social connections than those who are isolated or lonely Longer life. Therefore, strengthening interpersonal relationships and cultivating interactions with others are as important as not smoking, eating more vegetables and fruits, and exercising more to maintain a healthy life.
Low chronic stress can break down the body over time, and active social life can keep people optimistic. According to a survey in the United States, up to 25% of people do not have a person to talk to, and 33% of people can’t find two people to help when they need help. Society should face the power of “loneliness,” which can be as deadly as the disease.

However, the United Kingdom, Japan, Japan, the United Principality of Times, India, etc., have also successively established Emotions Minister in the past few years so that the citizens can stop the threat of “loneliness” in life.
