Humans are a communal species, so it only makes sense that time spent in groups aids our well-being.
But, did you know spending time with your family is actually a great activity to sustain brain health?
Studies have shown that strong social connections positively impact mental health.
Of course, one’s definition of family can differ from person to person.
Since the onset of the pandemic, the world has learnedthe power of staying connecteddigitally duringquarantine isolation.
FaceTime dates, group chats, and social media exchanges took the place of coffee outings and communal meals.
But face-to-face communication with loved ones is an important part of a healthy mind.
And the same goes for positive actions such as time with family.
Family meals are fewer and farther between in modern culture with or without an ongoing pandemic.
Your brain will thank you later.
