“Only your real friends will tell you when your face
is dirty.”
-Sicilian
Proverb
…Or if something is in your teeth. Did you also know that genuine friendships
are good for your health?
We know that our friends provide emotional support
and boost our self-esteem, but people with meaningful
social connections also have fewer cardiovascular and immune problems. Recent research has shown, too, that women
diagnosed with advanced stages of ovarian or breast cancer live twice as long if
they have strong support groups. They
also experience less pain throughout their treatments.
It has been said that friends are the relatives you
make for yourself. With all the mental
and physical benefits of friendship, it makes sense to nurture those ties like
your life depended on it, because it just might. It turns out that Phone-a-Friend really is a
lifeline!
Time for a ‘family’ reunion!
