#1192: MM- Being Social and Living Longer

How much "social capital" have you raised? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. We all need friends, the call at 3am type of friends that you can trust and count on. Research shows that people who have raised significant social capital will have less disease and live longer. I'm not talking about being friends on social media, but rather real connections where you spend time together laughing, talking, and doing activities. After all, we're social creatures. If you're not socializing enough, make strides to change that. More friends does equal a longer life! This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
