Live Longer by Connecting with Friends


An Article on how enjoying a wide social circle can extend your life recently appeared in a September issue of Womans World Magazine.  A just-released Brigham Young University study shows that spending time with friends can slash your risk of serious illness in half! What's more, researchers say socializing has a greater impact on your health than exercising daily, quitting smoking, controlling high blood pressure or avoiding obesity!

So, don't give up the diets, the gym and all the other healthier ways of living, yet do call that friend you've been putting off, get on facebook and reconnect with an old high school buddy and have that girls night out once a month.  It's good for you!
