Social Participation and Profitable Growing older – BionicOldGuy

“Social Participation Paves the Manner for Profitable Growing older”, a overview article in Neuroscience Information, discusses a research that adopted 7000 older Canadians over a three-year interval. These with extra social participation (volunteer work or leisure actions) had been extra more likely to stay in good well being over the three years. This matches in with the idea of social help, which I had beforehand listed as one of many “4 pillars” of wholesome getting older.

I preferred this quote from the article: “‘Social prescribing’, a apply the place medical professionals prescribe social actions, is gaining traction as a non-pharmacological intervention to help well being in older adults.” That feels like an amazing concept to me!
