Studies have shown that people who have supportive relationships live longer.

Relationships can affect our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Positive connections to family, friends, co-workers, community and even animals can reduce stress and improve both our physical and emotional well-being. Because relationships have such a big impact on our health it is important to surround ourselves with people we care about.
