Want To Live Longer? Here’s The No-Cost Technique That Worked For Me.
As you can see I have quite a large group of subscribers. I try to provide helpful insights that I have gleaned from my 82 years of being on this planet as an act of appreciation to my subscribers for their continued interest in my posted videos and my daily photographs. I believe (I’d like to say that I know) that expressing kindness not only improves the experience of being alive for you and for those around you, but also improves the length of your life. A recent study said that those who daily express kindness live 2 1/2 years longer on average. That is good enough for me to keep on doing what I am doing!
Of the numerous studies that have explored the relationship between kindness and human health, here are some of the key findings:
Boosts Happiness and Reduces Depression: Acts of kindness release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and happiness. A study published in “Emotion“ in 2018 found that performing acts of kindness can reduce feelings of depression.
Improves Cardiovascular Health: Kindness has been found to release the hormone oxytocin, which in turn releases nitric oxide in blood vessels. This expands the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure, and thus, oxytocin is known as a “cardioprotective“ hormone. In this way, kindness can have a significant impact on cardiovascular health.
Boosts the Immune System: Kindness, love, and affection can stimulate the release of the immune-boosting hormone Immunoglobulin A. A study published in “Psychoneuroendocrinology“ found that people who regularly show compassion through kindness have stronger immune systems.
Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Studies like the one published in “Clinical Psychological Science“ in 2015, have shown that individuals who engage in acts of kindness have a lower response to stress and less anxiety.
Promotes Longevity: Altruistic behaviors, like kindness, can potentially reduce the risk of mortality. This is suggested by a number of studies, including research published in “Health Psychology“ in 2013.
Improves Relationships: Kindness fosters empathy and warmth, which can significantly enhance relationships. Social connectivity is important for mental and physical health, as it can reduce stress and increase lifespan.
If the above intrigues you and you want to show kindness in your everyday life, here are some examples you can try.
Helping a Neighbor: Offer to help with chores, especially if your neighbor is elderly, ill, or overloaded with work.
Volunteering: Donate your time to a local charity, homeless shelter, nursing home, or other organizations that could use help.
Complimenting Someone: A sincere compliment can really brighten someone’s day.
Paying it Forward: If you’re in line at a coffee shop or fast food restaurant, consider paying for the person’s order behind you.
Donating: Donate clothes, books, or other items you no longer need to a local charity.
Being Understanding: If someone makes a mistake, be understanding and forgiving instead of getting angry.
Giving Up Your Seat: If you’re on a crowded bus or train, offer your seat to someone who looks like they need it more.
Listening: Sometimes, people just need someone to listen to them without judgment.
Sending a Thoughtful Message: Send a friend or family member a message letting them know you’re thinking about them.
Cooking a Meal: If you know someone who’s going through a tough time, cooking a meal for them can be a great help.
Remember, acts of kindness don’t have to be grand gestures. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day.
