The ultimate healer
Scientific research consistently demonstrates that love is the key to good health and longevity. People who feel isolated and unloved are far more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors like smoking and overeating and far less likely to make life-enhancing lifestyle choices. Loving relationships enhance our immune function and strengthen our resistance to disease, and several studies have conclusively shown that if you don't have a loving support network, you're 3-5 times more likely to die prematurely or develop diseases like cancer, heart disease, stroke, and autoimmune disorders.
