Research has found that volunteering is good for you.
“A study by Sara Konrath at the University of Michigan showed that volunteerism predicts a longer life,” Dr. Emma Seppala says. “Interestingly, volunteerism lengthened lives only when the volunteerism was done for selfless reasons.”
The connection isn’t totally clear, but according to Harvard Medical School, volunteering may lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and reduce depression.
