Helping Others Helps You
Vijai P. Sharma, Ph.D
Helping others is good for
your health. It is healthy to forget yourself
on a regular basis and concentrate on helping
others. Volunteer to care for someone, but
limit it to the extent that you can handle
without taxing yourself. A study which involved
2,700 residents in Tecumseh, Michigan, observed
that residents who volunteer their time for
community organizations were two and a half
times less likely to die from any diseases
compared to those who did not volunteer.
"I know of no more
encouraging fact than the
ability of a man to elevate
his life by concious endeavor."
