Yes, we believe that social exercise is one of the three keys to living longer. Many studies say that being social not only relieves stress, but can increase how long you live. An article in https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/media-spotlight/201603/is-being-social-the-key-longer-life states that,"Though more research is definitely needed, this latest study is one of the first to examine how important social living can be for people facing terminal decline. Participating in social activities and interacting with family and friends may be a critical part of staying healthy and happy for as long as possible." This shows one way that being social actually helps your health. Being social can also help you feel better throughout the day. Doing things with your friends and being socially active can make you enjoy life and lower your risks of depression and loneliness. Another website called https://www.westernhomecommunities.org/, which is a website that helps create healthy fulfilling lifestyles for older adults states that staying social as you age can help reduce risk for mental health issues, improve physical health, increase longevity, avoid isolation and loneliness and create a sense of belonging. Lastly, one of the 10 tips in Harvard's 10 tips to live longer (Tips for a longer life) says that building a strong social network is really important. So, in conclusion, being social is really good for your health.
