7 Health Benefits to Giving Back and Volunteering

January 30, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Why should you even try to give back and volunteer? Here are 7 darn good reasons! Read on! 

Health Benefits of Volunteering

Health Benefits of Volunteering

Helps You De-Stress

Stressed about something at work? Get involved in a fundraiser or anything for even a few hours. Giving back to others helps you cope with your stress better and puts your worries in perspective.

Live Longer

Apparently giving back and volunteering for a worthy cause will help you to live longer. According to a Detroit study, couples who helped others were half as likely to die over the next five years than those who didn’t.

Helps Your Heart

You will be at lower risk for heart disease when you volunteer compared to people who don’t.

Overcome Depression

If you or anyone you know has gone through something traumatic and emotionally difficult, then helping others will help you recover from depression and improve your emotional health.

Fills the Brain with Feel-Good Chemicals

Whenever you reach out to anyone, your brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine. The result? You feel calmer and more at peace.

Creates a Sense of Well-Being

You develop a sense of empathy not only for others, but for yourself. You learn to also see yourself in a positive light and how nurturing a relationship with yourself is just as important.

Feel Powerful

When you become involved with a cause close to your heart, it makes you feel powerful and in control. You feel confident and feel you are making a difference. In other words, greatly boosts your self-esteem.
