The study is going on close to 85 years, which is amazing. We think that this works through relieving stress. People who don't have anyone they can talk to about upsetting events stay in chronic fight or flight mode. That means low levels of circulating stress hormones and gradually break down body systems. Good relationships protect us from that chronicfight or flight mode that breaks down the body.
