LONELINESS AND HEALTH

 


Our health and development are marked by our involvement in community social activities, our ability to take care of ourselves, our level of control over the circumstance of our lives, and by the context in which our relationship with the neighborhood, community and society takes place. Loneliness as a lots to do with our health, toiling with loneliness is like a smoker who knows the effect of cigarette and still smoke it because of the pleasure derive in it, we should understand the formula of being lonely is as not having ability to connect with people socially or with the people that surround us.


                                 Don't allow loneliness to take your happiness away from you

 Health a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of  diseases and infirmity. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high risk behavior, while others are due structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in away that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Knowing the definition of health this should help you to know the importance of your health so the loneliness won’t over power your health.

Social relationship are integral to human well-being, social integration  have protective effect on morbidity and mortality outcome.

loneliness can be particular important among order adult, for whom decreases in economic resources, increases in impairments, and the deaths of contemporaries can heighten the risk of social isolation and loneliness. Negative health outcomes linked to loneliness include high blood pressure, disability, and depression. Such morbidities may, in turn, create higher need for health care and be linked to higher health care utilization, especially among older adults, who are more likely to suffer from multiple conditions. In essence, it is possible that lonely persons seek physician care less for medical needs than to have someone to talk to.

 Health risk of loneliness
