July is Social Wellness Month!

This is the month to nurture your relationships! Get involved and be social! Join a club that does a hobby you enjoy! Volunteer and help others! Rekindle your relationship with an old friend!

Research shows that:

• People who have a strong social network tends to live longer.
• The heart and blood pressure of people with healthy relationships respond better to stress.
• Strong social networks are associated with a healthier endocrine system and healthier cardiovascular functioning.
• Healthy social networks enhances the immune system's ability to fight off infectious diseases.

So build your social network, not only this month, but every month, and stay healthy!
