The physical effects of loneliness and isolation are as real as thirst, hunger or pain. Molecular Geneticist, Robin Joy Meyers, shares what's possible through the science of neuroplasticity.
Here's another video on loneliness by Dr. Lissa Rankin, author of Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself. She discusses a studyβin the 1960sβof a tight-knit group of Italian immigrant families in Roseto, Pennsylvania. A visiting cardiologist was struck by their longevity and their unusually low rates of almost all diseases, and conducted a study. The reason for their good health and long lifespans? Community and connection.
Great video on the epidemic of loneliness and how important it is for us to be heard, seen and know that we matter. Thanks Dana for another great post!!!
