Loneliness

I spent a day with the director of the longest study on happiness.

5 learnings (that may change your life):

Dr. Robert Waldinger is the fourth director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which has studied the lives of its 700+ original participants and their 1,300+ direct descendants for over 85 years.

It is considered the longest-running longitudinal study on adult life, health, and happiness.

Here are 5 insights from our conversation:

1. Relationship Satisfaction Impacts Health

I asked Dr. Waldinger about the most shocking finding of the Harvard Study.

His response:"Relationship satisfaction at age 50 was the single greatest predictor of physical health at age 80."

Relationship satisfaction was a more effective predictor of health at age 80 than cholesterol, blood pressure, or any other health marker tracked by the study.

The strength and quality of your relationships has a direct and powerful impact on your physical health as you age.

2. Loneliness Kills (& It's More Prevalent Than Ever)

Loneliness is on the rise.

60% of adults say they don't feel very connected to others. The amount of time teenagers are spending in person with their friends is down 70% over the last two decades.

And unfortunately, loneliness kills.

A number of scientific studies—including Dr. Waldinger's Harvard Study—have found that the health impact of loneliness is quite dire.

Chronic loneliness has been found to increase dementia risk by up to 50%.

Lack of social connection is worse for your health than tobacco and alcohol abuse, obesity, and more.

3. Make "Social Fitness" a Priority

Dr. Waldinger says our social health should be thought of in the same manner as our physical health—that it's the result of tiny daily actions that compound over long periods of time.

Make your social health a part of your daily routines: When you think something nice about someone, let them know right then, tell your partner one thing you appreciate about them every single day, reach out to that friend and catch up, plan that dinner.

Your daily social health actions compound. Build your Social Fitness.

4. Check Your Energy to Improve Your Life

Check your energy level after spending time with someone. Do you feel energized or drained?

Spend more time with your energy creators and less time with your energy drainers. Your life will improve.

5. Ambivalent Relationships are the Most Toxic

Ambivalent relationships—those that are sometimes supportive and sometimes demeaning—are actually worse for your health than purely demeaning relationships.

A variety of studies on humans and animals have shown that ambivalent relationships have sharper negative health consequences than purely toxic ones.

Audit your relationships. It may be time to reduce the energy given to these people.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development has been run for over 75 years. Robert Waldinger is 4th director in charge of this study, and has one of the most viewed TED talks of all time. This study followed the lives of over 700 people to see what it is that allows someone to live a happy and healthy life. The key to this mystery, in the words of Robert Waldinger is simple, “Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.” His TED talk is well worth viewing.

Spruch des Tages 27. August 2019: „Der Sieg über Krebs“            „Milchprodukte fördern die Krebsentstehung“ „Eine Studie der Harvard Universität sieht einen Zusammenhang zwischen Krebs und pasteurisierter (Industrie-)Milch.“ Die Annahme, dass Milch sehr reich an Kalzium und deswegen gesund sei, ist trügerisch, denn die Kuhmilchproduktion ist extrem ungesund. Was die Kühe fressen, um so viel Milch zu produzieren, macht die Milch zum Gesundheitsrisiko. Der Verzehr von vielen Milchprodukten verursacht viele Probleme in unserem Körper und in unserer Psyche. Milch trägt dazu bei, dass unser Körper übersäuert wird und somit viele Bakterien die Möglichkeit haben, zu entstehen, sich zu vermehren und sich richtig wohl zu fühlen. Eine Forschergruppe, sieht nach einer Studie einen Zusammenhang zwischen pasteurisierter Milch und Krebserkrankungen (Brustkrebs, Prostatakrebs, Eierstockkrebs). In dieser Untersuchung wurde festgestellt, dass Industriemilch 33-mal mehr Östrogen enthält, als die natürliche Milch aus der Mongolei. Doktor Davaasambuu sagte gegenüber der Harvard Gazette „Die Milch, die wir heute trinken, hat möglicherweise nichts mehr mit dem perfekten Nahrungsmittel der Natur zu tun.“ Die Studie vermutet die Ursachen in der Art des Futters und der Tierhaltung in modernen Landwirtschaftsbetrieben. Das Futter der Tiere ist mit Hormonen und Medikamenten vermischt und diese gelangen in die Milch. Laut der Harvard-Studie gäbe es eine mögliche Verbindung zwischen den weiblichen Sexualhormonen in der Milch schwangerer Kühe und der Entwicklung von Brust-, Ovarial- und Gebärmutterkrebs. Das Beste ist, für einige Zeit darauf zu verzichten, um die Veränderungen am eigenen Leibe und an eigener Seele zu erfahren.
