Q: Research has shown that doing this reduces blood pressure and stress hormones, increases the feel good chemicals in the brain and creates better health in general. What is it?
A: Being kind. Performing acts of kindness.
Kindness has been shown to increase self-esteem, empathy and compassion, and improve mood. It can decrease blood pressure and cortisol, a hormone directly correlated with stress levels. People who give of themselves in a balanced way also tend to be healthier and live longer.
