“Taking care of your body is important, but tending to your relationships is a form of self-care too. That, I think, is the revelation,” Vaillant (2002) commented in an eighty year study on aging.
“Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism,” says Dr. George Vaillant, a world- renowned expert on the effects of alcohol (2002). Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, Dr. Vaillant’s study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s stresses help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes.
“When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment,” observed Vaillant. “But the key to healthy aging (whether you are 22 or 82) is relationships, relationships, relationships” (2002). https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/04/over-nearly-80-years-harvard-study-has-been-showing-how-to-live-a-healthy-and-happy-life/
