Did you know that giving elevates your health and well-being?

Here are seven ways that giving to others can make a difference in your health:

  1. In studies, people were asked to give to others or spend on themselves. Members of the group that gave to others were measurably happier.
  2. You might notice a boost in your mood and feel less stressed when you give.
  3. Research shows show that givers are happier than those who don’t give by 43 percent.
  4. Giving time and resources has been shown to lower the risk of dying over a five-year period (compared to those who don’t give).
  5. People in both rich and poor countries report greater life satisfaction when they give to charity.
  6. When we give, we get a dose of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone that helps us feel connected and empathetic to others.
  7. Blood pressure may be lower when you donate. According to a report, donating money to a charity can have similar benefits to healthy diet and exercise.
