Health Benefits of Social Interaction
mercycare.org
Spending quality time with friends or loved ones can just feel good for the soul. Ever left a gathering with friends and felt refreshed and jovial? Time spent with those that you trust and that care about you is good for everyone. Too much time time on your own can make you feel lonely and out of touch so it is important to make an effort to spend time with others.
Benefits of Socialization:
Better mental health – it can lighten your mood and make you feel happier
Lower your risk of dementia – social interaction is good for your brain health
Promotes a sense of safety, belonging and security
Allows you to confide in others and let them confide in you
In-Person Connections
Social networks and online interactions may give people a false sense of connectedness. We still need physic in-person connections for our own mental health. Schedule time with friends (in-person) on a regular basis to avoid loneliness. It doesn’t have to be a full night out. It could be a 15 minute walk with a neighbor or meeting up for a quick coffee.
Your Circle
Your default peer group is at work and relationships at work are important, but relationships outside work are important too. Relationships with neighbors, the parents of your kids’ friends, or others that share common interests with you are good for your well-being. Take a second to evaluate the people you spend time with and look for ways to branch out if that circle doesn’t go beyond colleagues.
Why Being Social is Good for You
May 01, 2018 | Counseling and Psychology | South University
As humans, social interaction is essential to every aspect of our health. Research shows that having a strong network of support or strong community bonds fosters both emotional and physical health and is an important component of adult life. Over the years, there have been a number of studies showcasing the relationship between social support and the quality of physical and psychological health.
The Research
While most studies examining the benefits of social support have focused on the elderly (Steptoe, Dockray, & Wardle, 2009), having a strong social network is crucial for psychological and physical health, regardless of age. For example, a study on incoming college freshmen found that social support was effective in reducing depression in both those who have healthy self-esteem and those with a poor self-image (Cohen, Sherrod, & Clark, 1986). The authors of this study found that belonging to a social network helped ease the stress for people entering university life.
Social involvement is also important as we age. In a study of Europeans over the age of 50, Sirven and Debrand (2008) found that individuals who participated in social or community activities were more likely to report good or very good health. The study was based on data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and included 11 European countries and 22,000 households (31,000 individuals).
What We Think
At South University, we hope that you learn from these studies and continue to build the support networks in your lives. In addition to the psychological and physical benefits of having a support system, having friends and family who know about your academic and professional goals may help you to achieve them. The support and encouragement from your friends and family will motivate you, and you can ask them to check in regularly on how you are doing in classes. Because they believe in you and because you see them so often, you won’t want to disappoint them. Plus, they’ll be excited to hear about your success!
For the last week of the Student Hero Contest, we hope you continue to network with other students online and also start talking with your family and friends about your online education experiences. If your hero is a family member or a friend you see every day rather than a student, we encourage you to still enter the contest and tell us about why he or she is so important to you!

New Taipei Lions Club COVID cluster infection rises to 11
Taiwan News
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) on Wednesday (May 12) reported the number of cases associated with a Lions Club International chapter in New Taipei city has risen to 11.
Late on Monday evening (May 10), the former president of the Lions Club chapter in New Taipei's Wugu District had informed fellow members that he tested positive for COVID-19 and advised "group members to not venture out" and that they "need to be mentally prepared." During a press conference on Tuesday (May 11), Health and Welfare Minister and CECC head Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) announced that case No. 1,203 is a Taiwanese man in his 60s who has no recent history of traveling abroad.
On Wednesday, Chen announced that among the 16 local cases reported that day, there were 10 cases associated with the Lions Club officer. They are five men and five women between the ages of 50 and 70 and are listed as case No. 1,218, case No. 1,219, case No. 1,223, case No. 1,224, case No. 1,225, case No. 1,226, case No. 1,227, case No. 1,228, case No. 1,229, and case No. 1,230.
Of these cases, one is the wife of case No. 1,203, while the rest are his friends. Because all 10 had been listed as contacts of case No. 1,203, they were tested for the coronavirus, and the result came back positive for COVID-19 on May 12.
Most of them reportedly have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. An epidemiological investigation into further contacts in the cluster is ongoing.
The Lions Club leader was reportedly shocked to learn of his infection and is unable to determine how he contracted the disease. A fellow club member revealed that the former president had attended a Wugu chapter meeting to mark the transfer of his role as president to his successor on May 6, when the CECC said he was potentially infectious.
There were approximately 20 to 30 members present at the meeting and the list of attendees was provided to the health department. The club member said that the gathering was held at Love Windmill Chinese Restaurant (大風車婚宴會館) at No. 395 Jixian Road in New Taipei's Luzhou District.
When asked by the media on Wednesday whether he believed the man was a superspreader, CECC Spokesman Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said, "Actually, this definition is not good for this case. Most people seek medical attention when they are sick and he too was quickly diagnosed."
He then stressed the importance of wearing masks and tried to reassure the public that "Although the virus is strong, its spread can be prevented."
India Covid: Dozens of bodies wash up on banks of Ganges river

The bodies of at least 40 people have washed up on the banks of the Ganges river in northern India, officials say.
The discovery, near the border between the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, was confirmed to the BBC on Monday.
It is not clear how the bodies came to be there, but local media reports suggest they may be Covid-19 victims.
Some media reports say as many as 100 bodies have been found, and that their condition suggests they may have been in the river for several days.
"There is a possibility that these bodies have come out of Uttar Pradesh," a local official, Ashok Kumar, told the BBC after questioning local residents.
He said the remains would be buried or cremated.
Officials said the bodies appeared to be bloated and partially burnt, and that they may have ended up in the river as part of the practice of cremating victims of coronavirus along the river Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, India's NDTV news channel reported.
Some local residents and journalists told BBC Hindi a shortage of wood for cremations and the rising costs associated with funerals were leaving some families with no option but to put the bodies of loved ones who had died from coronavirus directly into the river.
Local resident Chandra Mohan said: "Private hospitals are looting people. Common people are not left with money to pay a priest and spend more on cremation at the river bank. They are asking 2,000 rupees [£20; $27] just to get the corpse out of the ambulance. The river has become their last recourse so people are immersing corpses in the river."
