Social connection improves physical health and mental and emotional well-being. Lack of social connection causes more damage to health than obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure. Strong social connection leads to a 50% increased chance of longevity, strengthens your immune system, helps you recover from disease faster, and may even lengthen your life. (2014 Connectedness and Health: The Science of Social Connection) Connect with your community. Find a program on pages 56-62.
