How relationships affect health and wellbeing

Valentine's Day puts love on the brain. People all over the world are committed to celebrating human relations. Researchers said, but we should pay more attention to them. Not only on February 14th, the relationship is important every year for our health and happiness.

"A healthy relationship makes us ours," says Mary Jo Kreitzer, director of the Center for Mental Healing, Mary Jo Kreitzer. "They train us and they help us grow, they will help us become better people."

Relationships can relieve stress and are associated with overall improvement in health. Researchers have shown that people with healthy social relationships are more likely to survive 50%.

However, interpersonal relationships are difficult - sometimes even energy intensive. People with bad human relationships are more likely to suffer from depression and loneliness is sufficient to weaken our immune system.

Dr. Bean Robity of Kreitzer, Deputy Director of the Human Sexual Behavior Program, talks about the impact of intimacy and social relationships in healthy conversation on our health.

Mary Jo Kreitzer, Ph.D., RN: Whether social or intimate relationships make people happy and bring joy to our lives. They constitute an important part of happiness

Bean Robinson, PhD: We are very social creatures. In terms of sex, you seem to need to really touch and connect. A connection can be scary, but that is how we connect to each other. In adulthood, we often find this relationship through intimate physical contact or sexual activity.

BR: When couples are constantly conflicting, it is harmful to their health and well-being. Blood pressure rises, I feel sick. This will affect your body. There is also a link between physical and mental health and sexual behavior. As your physical and mental health gets worse, your sexual health will get worse.

BR: It is very important to understand the views of others important in any relationship. I do not think it is easy, but it is important to know that both of you have a point of view and that there is no "correct answer" for conflict. I want to compromise

MJK: One way to build a healthy relationship is to practice gratitude. To express our gratitude to our partners can increase the motivation of both parties. The relationship is tough. You need to invest time. Spend time together, accept each other, practice forgiveness, and make yourself vulnerable. Sometimes we try to protect ourselves, being open to one person is the key to fostering a deep intimacy.

A healthy relationship is an important part of health and well-being. There is convincing evidence that a strong relationship contributes to longevity, health, and a happy life. Conversely, single or isolated health risks in a person's life are comparable to the risks associated with smoking, blood pressure, and obesity. According to a review of 148 studies, people with strong social relationships are 50% less likely to die early. Similarly, Dan Buettner's Blue Zones study shows that commitment to life partners can extend the average life expectancy by 3 years (researchers Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler believe that men have a longer life expectancy than men It is highly likely that you will benefit)
