Benefits of Friendship

Benefits of friendship


Having friends is much more important for life than just to provide a fun person to spend time with. Research shows that making and fostering healthy relationships can benefit you in physical, mental and social ways. Making friends isn’t always easy, but pays off in dividends throughout your life by keeping you well and happy. Consider what having friends can do for you as you live your way in life.

          One of the top benefits of having healthy relationships is that your physical health improves. Having someone to lean on when things get difficult can help ease your stress. Talking things over with a trusted friend can help your mood improve and induce relaxation, which can reduce the risk of a variety of health issues from heart disease to obesity. Research shows that having close friends also reduces your risk of certain types of cancer, including ovarian and breast cancer. In addition, friends also encourage you to take better care of your own health by helping you make good lifestyle choices, including not smoking, eating healthy and getting enough exercise. Friendships have also been linked to a reduced risk of heart problems, better immunity and a higher sense of control over life.

          Another compelling benefit of friendship is a boost to mental health. Stressful situations, like those at work, those that crop up when raising kids or getting divorced and the stress that goes with moving or experiencing a death in the family can interfere with your mood. Prolonged and chronic stress can lead to depression and even suicidal feelings. When you have a friend to support you during those hard times, it can help prevent those conditions and keep you feeling happy and assist you in working through the stress. Having a group of close friends also offers you a sense of acceptance and belonging that can prevent mental health issues, including depression and anxiety. Friends are also there to give you a boost to your self-confidence and make you feel important and needed. An even mental health status is important to a good quality of life and friends can help you keep it there.

          Friends can also improve your social health too. As you gain the support a good friend offers, you are more likely to be able to work through anxiety and function in social situations. You will be able to stand up proudly and fill with confidence. This is because you know that you have a lot of friends by your side. Your group of friends will become your support network and will stand behind you when life gets tough. Nevertheless, you will be able to overcome myriad challenges on your journey. That’s why it makes it simpler to be in public with or without your friends and will boost your social life and health along the way.

          In conclusion, making friends might not be the easiest thing you’ll ever do, but fostering healthy friendships will pay off during many stages of your life. Being surrounded by people who love you and care about you makes it easier to protect your health and improve your general well-being. The best thing you can do is to get out and meet new people because that’s the top way to start forming lifelong and health protecting relationships that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

Ciri-ciri Remaja Yang Berkualiti

Ciri-ciri Remaja Yang Berkualiti Setelah 60 tahun kita menghela nafas kemerdekaan, remaja yang merupakan bakal tunjang negara masih terbelenggu oleh pelbagai kemelut sosial. Ternyata mentaliti remaja di negara kita belum lagi mengalami anjakan paradigma selaras dengan arus pembangunan negara kita. Menurut kata mutiara saujana, "Jika ingin melihat masa hadapan sesebuah negara, lihatlah remajanya pada hari ini." Soekarno pernah mengungkap,"Berikan saya sepuluh belia waja, nescaya akan saya gegarkan dunia." Pendapat tokoh-tokoh dunia itu jelas membuktikan kepada kita tentang betapa pentingnya golongan remaja untuk memajukan persada yang tercantik ini. Namun, barang kali kita berasa sedih dan kecewa apabila melihat segelintir generasi muda yang masih dibelenggu oleh gejala sosial yang meranapkan masa hadapan diri mereka serta negara kita. Oleh itu, kita sebagai pemangkin dan tulang belakang negara ini wajar memahami ciri-ciri remaja yang berkualiti dan berusaha u...

Kepentingan Mengamalkan Perpaduan Kaum Dalam Kalangan Masyarakat

Kepentingan mengamalkan perpaduan kaum dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia merupakan sebuah negara yang unik kerana terdiri daripada masyarakat berbilang kaum. Kaum-kaum utama seperti Melayu, Cina, India, Kadazan dan Iban dapat hidup dalam keadaan harmoni. Banyak negara di dunia ini menjadikan Malaysia sebagai negara yang patut dicontohi kerana masyarakat dapat hidup dalam keadaan aman dan damai walaupun berbilang bangsa, agama dan budaya. Hal ini demikian kerana kebijaksanaan pemimpin kita yang menjadikan perpaduan kaum sebagai keutamaan bagi membina sebuah negara bangsa yang maju menjelang Transformasi National 2050. Persoalan yang berputar dalam kotak minda kita ialah apakah kepentingan yang dapat diperoleh jika perpaduan kaum dapat dikukuhkan dalam kalangan masyarakat?           Masyarakat yang harmoni dapat dilahirkan jika kaum-kaum di Malaysia dapat menerima antara satu sama lain tanpa wujud prasangka dan pergeseran sehingga boleh menimbulkan konflik an...
