In Addition to Being Good, Sharing Also Has a Positive Impact on Health

Sharing is not just about being kind, but it also has a positive impact on your health. This article will discuss the health benefits you can experience when sharing goodness with others.

According to National Health Service Choices, when you share sincerely, whether in small or large amounts, it can make you happy. Not only will you experience happiness, but you will also gain satisfaction in the life you live.

Here are the health benefits that you can experience when you share:

1. Increases Dopamine Production

When you share, your brain increases the production of the dopamine hormone. This is based on research from the University of British Columbia. Dopamine is a hormone that generates feelings of happiness. In addition to dopamine, you will also produce the oxytocin hormone, which helps reduce stress levels in the body.

2. Reduces Blood Pressure

Another benefit of sharing is that it can help reduce blood pressure. An international study, Psychophysiology, explains that people who help others through communities and organizations tend to have higher self-confidence and lower levels of depression and stress. This can positively affect your blood pressure, lowering it when you feel less stressed or depressed.

3. Can Extend Life Expectancy

Lastly, sharing can even extend your life expectancy. While age is predestined by Allah SWT, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential. Based on research from the University of California, Berkeley, individuals aged 55 or older who are actively involved in charitable activities have a 44% lower risk of death within five years compared to those who are not involved in charitable work. However, this also depends on other factors such as age, physical activity, general health condition, and negative habits like smoking.
