Study: Random Acts Of Kindness Improve Wellbeing
You’ve probably heard fifty different ways to “boost your immune system” since the lockdown started. Some of them are more legit than others. Well here is one more to add to your routine that actually works according to a little thing called science. Be nice.No really, that’s it.
New research has found good-hearted behavior has benefits for both mental and physical health. For the best results though, you should increase the number of random acts of kindness you do. Lead authorBryant P.H. Huand his team found that doing something like helping elderly neighbors carry groceries boosts well-being factors more than scheduled kindness like volunteering. They say it’s because spontaneous good deeds are less likely to become “stale.”
While measuring someone’s level of “kindness” isn’t an exact science, these results do seem to indicate it can’t hurt to be nicer to strangers when the feeling comes over you. Although, that is the next thing Hui’s team might be looking into. They’re interested to see if someone could get so generous it negatively affects their health.We’ll let you know as soon as they release the “I’m so nice it made me sick” study.
