social

[]  This article basically describes that a person who has good social relationships is healthier than a person who has bad social relationships. The study at Brigham Young University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shows that a person who has poor social relationships with others had on average 50% higher chance to die than a person who has social relationships. This shows that one's condition of health is more related to one’s social life and one's social relationships than one's lack of exercise. Regardless of people's sex or age, people’s health conditions are mainly depended on the social connection or relationships with others such as family or friends. The healthy family bonds or healthy family relationships also lead people to be physically and emotionally healthier. Furthermore, people who have many friends have better immune systems than people who have few social relationships.  Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.
