Social ties should be added to the list of factors that influence human lifespan! This is the result of the latest research by American experts. A study shows that good relationships with family, neighbors and colleagues increase the chances of living twice as long.

A good relationship with loved ones is one of the most important conditions for longevity, according to American experts. A study shows that good relationships with family, neighbors and colleagues increase the chances of living twice as long.

If you get up on the right foot more often, you don't start arguments with family members or colleagues, you have decided for a healthier life. Research results show that everyday bad interpersonal relationships endanger health, just like smoking more than ten cigarettes a day, drinking alcohol and being physically inactive.

A bad financial situation makes things worse

According to clinical psychologist Ana Najman, every conflict costs our body, our emotions and intellect, because we are less effective in every conflict situation.

"As far as the body is concerned, these are various psychosomatic diseases - diseases of the thyroid gland, nervous system, and on the mental level - it is depression, social isolation and a general ineffectiveness of the person," stressed Ana Najman.

In the time of transition, wars and crisis, tears and laughter alternated, everyday life became faster, and nerves became thinner.

A bad financial situation makes things worse. An empty wallet is often the trigger for otherwise bad interpersonal relationships to become even worse. Complex divorce, domestic violence, at work, on the street, are just some of the consequences of chronically bad and neglected interpersonal relationships.

Greater openness of social institutions and more listening to the small problems of ordinary people, according to experts, would calm many passions, make each of us better, and therefore healthier.
