Community and Purpose Affect Your Physiology #shorts

You were never meant to heal alone. Humans have always been together, and one of the things we've learned in the last 20 or 30 years is our disassociation has dehumanized us and made us less fully human. One of the results: more anxiety, more stress, more cognitive decline, more dementia, more cancer, more of everything. What's the point? Having a close-knit community, people around you that care for you, that would do anything for you, having a sense of purpose and meaning actually impacts your physiology. Blue zones, for example, are places in the world where people live to be 100 more than anywhere else. And guess what they don't have? Fancy hospitals, fancy medications. Guess what they do have? Meaning, purpose, value, family, real food. It's amazing what these basic things, how important they are. So start finding your purpose, find your close-knit group, find your community. These can be more impactful, and you'll be amazed by what it does with your health.
