People who spend extra time with family and friends seem to age better, new study finds

A new study from Brain, Behavior, & Imunity - Health finds people who spend extra time with friends and family seem to age better than others.

Researchers say those with strong social ties tend to have lower levels of inflammation and even slower “aging clocks” for their biological DNA.

They insist having a busier social calendar doesn’t always mean a healthier life but it can lead to better results.

Previous studies have shown staying in-touch with loved ones can keep the brain sharp.
