Spending More Time with your Best Friend Benefits Your Health

Spending time surrounded by friends is a guarantee of laughter, fun, and well-being.

This is a discovery of a recent study conducted by the Northwestern University of the United States.

Contact with Friends Improves Brain Health

The researchers analyzed a group of 50 people and discovered that many of them attribute their good health to a full social life. Among all the volunteers, 31 of them were over 80 years old and had impressive episodic memory and cognitive perception.

The study participants had to complete a questionnaire with 42 questions that included questions about their psychological well-being. In the end, the researchers discovered that those who maintained satisfactory relations of friendship were happier and more confident.

Despite being interesting, the results did not come as a surprise to the team that did the scientific work (or to us!), As the data reinforced previous analyzes that indicated that the positive relationships of friendships are linked to a reduced risk of decline cognitive and even dementia.
