Holidays, Health Hazards of Feeling Alone, and a Remedy I Hope You’ll Try

The number of laps around the track leading up to the holidays seem to be fewer and fewer, have you noticed?! I wouldn’t be surprised if we started seeing pumpkins in June! 

I recently went out on a Friday night, and it was a beautiful Fall crisp evening that felt like I was in a Hallmark movie; until I saw the Christmas trees!

In this episode I whimsically share my thoughts in a rhyming way about the sights and sounds of the holidays showing up in summer; some statistics of the health hazards that come with a lack of socialization and feeling alone; and a remedy right out of the gate for a new perspective. I wonder if you will be able to spot my subtle hints here once you listen to this episode. Please, join me on this ride!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, loneliness and isolation can lead to serious health challenges if left unresolved, such as:

• Increased rates of anxiety, suicide and depression
• Four times the risk of premature death
• 50% increase in dementia
• 29% increase in heart disease
• 32% increase in stroke

2. The Lancet Healthy Longevity says that tackling social isolation could prevent 4 % of the dementia cases worldwide!

3. “Loneliness has the same impact on mortality as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making it even more dangerous than obesity.”

4. Remember, there must be a pony in there somewhere!

5. Necessity is the mother of invention. I hope you’ll join me on Saturday, November 26th at 10:00am PST.
