This is taught at Stanford University ....
In an evening class at Stanford University the last lecture was on the mind-body connection ... the relationship between stress and disease !!
The speaker (head of psychiatry at Stanford) said that one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman !!
Whereas for a woman, one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture her relationships with her girlfriends !!

At first everyone laughed, but
he was serious ....
Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences.
Physically this quality "girlfriend time" helps us to create more serotonin - a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well being.
Women share feelings whereas men often form relationships around activities. Women share from the soul with sisters/mothers, and evidentially that is very GOOD for health !!
He said that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as jogging or working out at a gym.
There's a tendency to think that when we are "exercising" we are doing something good for our bodies, but when we are hanging out with friends, we are wasting our time and should be more productively engaged.
Not true .... In fact, he said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking !!
So every time you hang out with a gal pal, just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for your health .. We are indeed very, very lucky !!
Sooooo toast to your friendship with your girlfriends !!! Evidently it's very good for your health
Connect with all your girlfriends to stay in touch!
