Are you a die-hard workaholic? Do you experience guilt when time gets ‘wasted’? Do you get impatient with your family and friends who demand your time that cuts into your precious ‘work’? Do you dislike having long chats on the phone with friends because it takes you away from your imagined life purpose. Do you avoid going to parties, exhibitions, dinners with friends because you consider it is a total waste of time? Well, there is some new research from Japan just for you
The research suggests that being surrounded by lots of family and friends and having a supportive social network enhances the health benefits of having a few drinks and is known to be good for the heart and may even help people live longer and reduce risk of heart disease. It would make you happy and relaxed and consequently have a beneficial effect on your health in general. Needless to say light drinking is heart protective i.e. 1-2 glasses of wine 2-3 times a week. However heavy drinking and too much socializing would wash away all the health benefits. As always moderation is the key to good health.
Get-togethers with family and friends are fun. So come out of your sacred cocoon and allow yourself to loosen up a bit. Laughing with friends is not only relaxing and de-stressing, but also therapeutic – in the sense that it has a balancing effect on your terribly serious life.
Laughter, play and having a good time with friends and family is as important to your health as is eating and sleeping. It is critical for your sanity and continued well being.
So friends whilst it is good to work hard – don’t take the fun out of life! Cheers!
