This resource from the Absolute website, highlights the importance of social engagement in later life. We are all aware of the benefits of physical exercise during old age. However, did you know that staying socially engaged is just as important for mental health?

Studies have found a clear correlation between social interaction and brain health. As people age, being involved with others and maintaining social connections is strongly associated with better brain function and the ability to age in a healthier, more resilient way.

In fact, seniors who remain socially engaged are less likely to experience dementia or memory loss, which are among the most common conditions affecting older adults.
