The Influence of Community on Longevity
Living in a supportive community significantly contributes to longevity. Individuals in blue zones, areas where people live the longest, often enjoy close-knit relationships, engaging frequently with family and friends. They tend to favor living in extended family arrangements, which can contribute two to six years more to their lifespan compared to those who live alone. This strong social network provides both emotional support and accountability, fostering healthier behaviors and decreasing feelings of isolation.
