Health is defined as a state of complete physical,mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of physical infirmity. It is holistic in nature covering all spheres of human existence.
Friendship is an integral part of the human nature. The saying no man is an island has never been truer. Our every need in life is intertwined with association and dependency on others either to meet our need or to support an aspect of it. However, human variance exist with some people prefering a lonely and solo life style than others. Whether this is normal or not is hard to say. However friendship and interaction has been linked to happiness,high social esteem and a healthy work and school attitude. Many studies have been done and there's been a clear association between happiness and healthy friendship. In Britain it was found that from about 9000 people who took part in a study to relate happiness level to people that ate with friends,it was discovered that majority with high happiness level regularly ate with friends. This is hard to technically explain but what is know is the release of endogenous endorphines. This is an opiate analogue produced from the body so it gives a form of high and happiness experience with opiates.

As we draw to the weekend, call that friend of yours, create a time to share a snack together, grab a drink together.
