Scientific evidence supports the idea that acts of generosity can be beneficial when we volunteer and give back regularly — and not just after a natural disaster. Volunteering is linked to health benefits like lower blood pressure and decreased mortality rates.
from the NYTimes
If you start to feeling blue
Here is what you ought to do.
Help someone along the way
To improve your health today.
We are built to obsolesce
From too little or excess.
To disasters we are prone;
Mother Nature makes us groan.
Docs say that the Golden Rule
Makes our illnesses less cruel.
Volunteers are awful smart,
since their health is off the chart.
