Social Participation and Successful Aging – BionicOldGuy

“Social Participation Paves the Way for Successful Aging”, a overview article in Neuroscience News, discusses a examine that adopted 7000 older Canadians over a three-year interval. Those with extra social participation (volunteer work or leisure actions) have been extra prone to stay in good well being over the three years. This matches in with the idea of social help, which I had previously listed as one of many “four pillars” of wholesome growing older.

I appreciated this quote from the article: “‘Social prescribing’, a practice where medical professionals prescribe social activities, is gaining traction as a non-pharmacological intervention to support health in older adults.” That feels like an incredible concept to me!
