Social Wellness is our ability to maintain healthy, supportive relationships with other people. Social Wellness is necessary for your well-being and longevity. Poor social health can result in sickness & disease. A social issue like loneliness caused by a poor support network may double your risk of death within any time period, at any age.

Here are a few more quick tips on how to improve your social health:

• Spend time with friends and family

• Pursue activities and people who nurture your needs
• Join a club or organisation that interests you

When you make the choice to improve your social health, you will perform better under stress, boost your self- esteem, increase your energy levels and achieve better overall physical health.
