Is a Social Life GOOD For Your Health? [SURPRISING]

Dear Turapür Today Reader,

Let’s face it. The COVID-19 pandemic clamped down on the social lives of many Americans.

But with more things opening back up and life feeling like it’s returning to a little bit of normalcy, more and more folks – especially older adults – are starting to get back ‘out there.’

Whether it’s a barbeque with neighborhood friends… or just getting out to watch your grandkid’s soccer game…

Being ‘social’ again has felt GREAT for your day-to-day life!

And now, according to a new research study, engaging in an active social life may do much more than just keep you sane…

It can be crucial for one very important area of your health.

It turns out that an active social life is critical for your brain!

According to a study out of Penn State University, older adults that maintain an active social life can improve their day-to-day mental performance as they age.

Researchers found that when elderly adults between 70 and 90 years-old have more frequent and pleasant social interactions, they display stronger cognitive functioning over the next few days.

The study also concluded that whenever older adults had NOT experienced social interaction for some time, they performed much better on cognitive tests on the days they DID socialize.

So, can being a social butterfly actually help improve your brain? Yes!

The results of this study are so promising, it could lead to more studies on social interaction and the prevention of brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Now, this doesn’t mean you need to become your neighborhood ‘socialite’ to start sharpening your brain. It simply means that interacting with others on a regular basis will help keep your day-to-day memory on point.

And get this…

The study found that better mental performance wasn’t just confined to face-to-face interactions. Researchers also noted that folks who engaged in regular ‘digital’ or phone conversations also scored well on cognitive tests.

So, while those Zoom calls with family and friends aren’t as regular as the beginning of the pandemic, it still doesn’t hurt to chat digitally (or on the phone) with friends and family that aren’t local.

In the meantime, social engagements like parties, book clubs, outdoor walks with neighbors, or even a game of cards are all great ways to stay connected with others… while boosting your everyday brain power.
