It is said time and again that man is a social animal. Everyone loves a handful of close relationships and enjoy being in the presence of people whom they love. This is because people adhere to the fact that healthy relationships lead to better lives. From friends, partners, spouses, siblings, and children, healthy relationships are the fuel that improve one’s self-esteem, physical health and emotional health.

How Do Healthy Relationships Lead to Better Lives?

Although, it is not impossible to live off on one’s own, humans always crave appreciation and a sense of belonging. These twin factors usually stem from healthy relationships.

Contrary to this, loneliness can heavily disrupt sleeping patterns, increase cortisol (a stress hormone), and elevate blood pressure. It also lowers immunity against diseases, and decrease your overall sense of contentment. In addition to this, it triggers antisocial behavior, and suicidal tendencies.

Happy and healthy relations boost the level of dopamine in the body, which is a feel-good hormone. Hence, people in a committed relationship or those married are less responsive to psychological stress. As, the support, love and care that one experiences from loving relationships is a great buffer against stress.

A study of mid-life women revealed that those who were in a satisfying marriage had a lower risk of heart diseases. On the other hand, those in less satisfying relations, had a greater risk.

A healthy relationship with your intimate circle, is greatly beneficial for your mental health. Consequently, it boosts your overall physical health in several ways.
