Is Being Kind Good For Your Health?

When you help others, you may be helping yourself, especially as you age: A five-year study in the American Journal of Public Health
found that people 65 and older who didn't assist friends, neighbors or relatives had a 30 percent higher chance of dying after a stressful life event, like a job loss, than those who were generous. And volunteering for a good cause can give you a greater sense of purpose, which may lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke, according to an analysis of ten studies with around 136,000 subjects. Head to volunteermatch.org to find opportunities (searchable by location, interest, or age group) for everything from grant writing to cat rescue.
Both runners and non-runners alike have heard that the high impact of running, the repetitive pounding which occurs as you log miles, can cause damage to knee joints.
But a recent study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology turns that notion on its head: Researchers found that running actually decreased inflammation in the knees of six people, suggesting that the activity may actually be more beneficial to the joints than harmful.
