Stay connected with friends and family
Research shows a diverse social network may help reduce stress and heart-related risks. Such connections boost your immune system or give you a more positive outlook on life. Remember to maintain contact with friends and family through email, phone, or video calls.
The National Institutes of Health states that social ties can instill a sense of concern and responsibility for others, which can lead to individuals engaging in behaviors that protect the health of others as well as their own.
