Staying Connected

본문
People who need people may indeed be the luckiest people in the world. Those who have strong social ties with friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers enjoy longer, more satisfying, more active lives than those who are socially and emotionally isolated.
Research studies have confirmed key facts about social relations: Isolation breeds poor health. In one study, for example, women who didn't have many opportunities for social contact were found to have higher blood pressure than those who did. Another study revealed that those who had fewer and weaker relationships had two to four times the risk of dying prematurely, regardless of age and other factors.
Social support improves both physical and mental health. For example, a 1999 study conducted at the University of Utah found that older people who have a strong circle of friends have a lower risk of heart disease than those who don't. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people with six or more different types of relationships, including marriage, work colleagues, friendships and family relationships, were 25 percent less likely to catch a cold than those with fewer social ties. According to a report in the Annals of Internal Medicine, strong social contacts offer powerful protection against the mental declines that often go along with aging.
Support can even help you heal. Women with metastatic breast cancer who were part of a weekly support group lived 18 months longer than those who weren't. And people with strong social support have demonstrated less need for pain medications and faster recovery from illness.
People with strong social support are more likely to follow medical advice and take good care of themselves. For example, Cornell researchers found that women who were socially connected were more likely to eat lower-fat diets than those who were more isolated.
Q1) How do you stay keep in touch with your old friend? It's been a long time since you graduate the elementary school, middle school, and so on. But do you still stay contact with your old friend and have a true relationship?
Q2) Do you have a real friend who can share your emotions and talk everything about yourself?
Q3) How is your human relations? Do you have narrow and deep human relations, or wide and shallow human relations? Which one do you like and what would be the good/bad aspect of it?
Q4) Do you think men and women can be a real friend? (Not the love between male and female, just the real friendship between human.) Please tell us your own experience.
