Understanding the Community Health Connection by Christian Goodman

We get almost everything at east, then what are we lacking? I get this question when I think about that we live in a place that offers abundant food, transport entertainment, and easy access to the electronic age.
Had this affected the connection between people? We don’t lack anything, we get cars, buses, fast food, movie theaters and golf courses are everywhere. No, here I’m not speaking with a short conversation we have say with a server when go to a hotel. Actually I’m speaking about relationships between people say how we handle the salesman who sells us the car.
Does our community and close relationship we share with the family has been affected? If so then what effect does it has with our health.
Luckily, there are many number of popular researchers who also think of the same questions. And they do also have the fire to find the answer.
This community had similar eating habits as of their neighbors, this study has been conducted for nearly 30 years in 1950’s. In a town called Roseto, Pennsylvania a study has been conducted among an Italian-American community and this is called “The Roseto Effect”.
In short, the study found that these people had longer life spans and were overall much healthier than their neighboring counterparts. This was true in spite of the aforementioned risk factors including smoking and lack of regular exercise.
But the younger generation of this group saw their health declining. In the initial stage they maintained close relation within family and community and they also maintained good health. But once they came out of the family and community their health started to deteriorate.
Close personal connections, especially feelings of love and perhaps care taking directly and positively affect our health even when habits traditionally considered bad for us are still present. This is further supported by something I philosophized on in a previous article relating to how pets lead to these same feelings of love and in return positively affect our health.
We do not have to be part of a large family to inject ourselves into a community. We may just have to be a little more creative and open in order to acquire the sense of community. Watching a movie can be great entertainment, but it is a very solitary activity which requires no interaction with anyone else.
You can even ask the server where he worked before when you go to hotel etc. Other than simply inquiring about the special food you can interact with him in a friendly way. Alternatively we can also discuss about a book recently read or a movie recently watched all these will create a connection.
Being self entertained can still be good and force some internal reflection in understanding who we are as people. But denying these very important family or community ties will ultimately shorten our lives unless we tend to them the way we might tend to our cars insuring they are clean and running properly.
It also recommended to all of us to treat our relationships inside the family with utmost care and love. Regular exercise and food with less fat is always advised.
I am pleased to share my all natural alternative health programs as well. All programs involve easy to implement exercises and can be done with someone you love who might be struggling with certain health issues.
