Isn’t is lovely to have one of those family get togethers where everybody gets into every bodies business.
You end up storming away in a huff, just to return for more because you love then and live without them would be a drag.
As it turns out unhealthy as well. See below..
Loneliness increases risk of hypertension: Study |
In addition to obesity and lack of exercise, a recent study has found that loneliness also poses a potential risk factor for hypertension. |
The new research, conducted by scientists at the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience at the University of Chicago, shows that loneliness can add 30 points to a blood pressure reading for adults over the age of 50.
The researchers found that lonely older people had blood pressure readings that were as much as 30 points higher than others — even after other negative emotive states, like sadness, stress or hostility, were taken into account. |
“The take-home message is that feelings of loneliness are a health risk, in that the lonelier you are, the higher your blood pressure. And we know that high blood pressure has all kinds of negative consequences,” said lead researcher Louise Hawkley, whose team published its findings in the April issue of Psychology and Aging. |

Resveratrol can help you to lead a long and healthy life so says Dr. Oz.
Resveratrol Supplements can help you control your weight naturally
by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting your appetite.
According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of “Red Wine Grape Complex”, to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product’s label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand. None of the products tested were found
to have significant levels of heavy metals or other contaminants.
Unbelievable!!!
