In February, we learn about
KINDNESS!
The Science of Kindness
Kindness increases oxytocin, which can help improve heart health! Increased levels of oxytocin can also improve self-esteem and optimism!
Acts of kindness have the potential to improve energy levels and feelings of calmness!
"Giving help to others protects overall health twice as much as aspirin protects against heart disease."
"Kindness stimulates the production of serotonin, a "feel-good chemical" that heals wounds, calms you down, and makes you happy!"
"Perpetually kind people have 23% less cortisol." More kindness equals less stress!
