If your a woman spending time with your girl friends is always a good thing as it is time to catch up and enjoy each others company, but now it seems that spending time with your friends is not only a way to relax – but is good for your overall health too.
According to Southern Living, those who spend more time with their girl pals are more likely to have better overall health than those who don’t maintain good friendships.
The study which surveyed over 300,000 people found that those who interact with their friends have more self-esteem, positivity and are generally more happy.
It also uncovered that being more social reduces a woman’s risk of developing heart disease and increased life expectancy.
The study is also supported by findings of another study published by researchers at Harvard University, who say having good friendships is as beneficial to your health as having a good night’s sleep.
