Hang Out With Friends

Life expectancy can be increased by hanging out with your friends and family. Studies have shown that the more connected someone is to loved ones, the better their overall health.

Scientists are not exactly sure why relationships play a role in health and longevity. It could be that people in positive relationships are less likely to take risks and are more likely to take care of themselves. It could also be that having people around you reduces stress in your life.3

On top of this, people who engage in "meaningful" relationships tend to have better life expectancies. This means having conversations about each other's beliefs, interests, or history or engaging in activities that both parties enjoy.3

Relationships and Longevity

A study in the journal PLoS Medicine concluded that, based on 148 studies involving 308,849 participants, people who reported strong social relationships had a 50% lower risk of premature death than those who didn't.

The bottom line is that we know that some people die because of health problems. Some people die from accidents, and some people die of lonelyness.

That's when you have no one that cares about you and no one that you care for. And why is that a premature death? We know that people can live a long life, many people today live to be 100 years old. So why can't we all live to 100? Like I mentioned in the above sentences, many die of disease which can be prevented by medicine, but not everyone can be cured. many others die an accidental death. 

Statistics show that people born between 1936 and 1946 (the war babies) only 1% are still alive. So why so few are alive? For one thing those people were the ones who served in the Vetnam War and many never came back. The there are those who died of diseases and others that died an accidental death. If you are amount the 1% you're one of the lucky ones. Having strong relationships gives a person something to live for. 

The lifestyle we have will determine how long we live. That you eat and drink, that you do all day, How much sleep you get, and how well to care for your body.
