Peace Steemians,
People have long understood that kindness is good for the person receiving help. For example, acts of kindness can improve #health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person’s life.
But why would this be? Scientist are researching many possible causes.
Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin. Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress.
Furthermore, endorphins are the body’s natural drug that is released a person’s brain according to scientists when people are kind. They reduce pain and produce pleasant emotions.
Health and long life are just two positive effects of doing good. Researchers believe that doing kind acts can also help people perform better in life.
Negative emotions can lead to poor health. When a person feels good more often, they are likely to have better health.
Science is still discovering positive effects from acts of kindness. Doing good gives people the strength to act more effectively and better achieve their goals.
Why do you do good things for other people?
Do you feel better when you are kind?
