To Bolster Health, Give the Gift of YOU!
RealAge affirms healthy relationships make best presents
San Diego, CA, December 1, 2008 -- The gift wrapping may be a challenge. Ditto for being tucked under the tree. But when it comes to improving the health of your loved ones, YOU may be the best present of all.
RealAge.com, the nation’s leading health and wellness Web site, has found a common denominator among its members: supportive friends and loved ones. Frequently, the site’s members report that a friend recommended the YOU books -- the best-selling series penned by RealAge advisory board members Michael Roizen, MD, and Mehmet Oz, MD -- which changed their health behaviors dramatically. Others reported a colleague or relative forwarded them the RealAge Test, an online questionnaire that reveals the body’s biological age compared with actual age, which helped mark their health status.
The research is clear, according to Dr. Roizen. Multiple scientific studies have shown that close relationships are a boon to your physical and mental health, your longevity, and your weight. In fact, long-term, loving relationships can make your RealAge as much as 6.5 years younger.
To treat your loved ones to the season’s most potent health-boosting gift, RealAge offers a few recommendations:
- Propose a regular date to get together and laugh. After all, laughter lowers your blood pressure and releases endorphins.
- Give YOU: The Owner’s Manual or the latest Oz and Roizen smash hit, YOU: Being Beautiful. That way, stockings will be stuffed with practical tips and proven plans for living longer.
- Identify how friends and social situations affect your mood; click here: http://www.realage.com/WellnessCenter/Articles.aspx?aid=10355.
