Healthy Relationships are Good for Your Healthby Lyn Newton | More from this Blogger 20 Nov 2007 12:04 PM We have many relationships in our lives. We have relationships with people at home and at work. How we deal with these relationships can greatly affect our moods, personalities, and health. All couples should desire having a healthy relationship. Healthy relationships make people happier and more confident. In addition to having a healthy relationship for purposes of happiness, healthy relationships can also improve a person's overall health. Research shows that people in healthy relationships are healthier people in general. While most of these relationships are thought to be with a mate, good relationships are also desired with coworkers, family members, and friends. People who are in healthy relationships with those around them have been found to have an increased happiness with themselves. These people have higher self-esteems and an overall feeling of well being. People in healthy relationships have lower stress levels. Therefore they have better sleep patterns and a stronger immune system. It was also found that people in healthy relationships have lower blood pressure levels than those in stressful relationships. Their heart rate is also lower. These people have better communication with those that they are in contact with. Again the stress level is reduced and allows for a healthier body. People in good, happy relationships with others live longer than those who are alone. It seems very natural that people who are healthier will have a longer life. It is important to keep in mind that a relationship cannot always be stress free and happy. Even the healthiest relationships will experience downfalls. People are human and make mistakes. People have feelings that are sure to be hurt on occasion. However, it is important to reach out to others and strive to build strong and happy relationships with those that you are in contact with on a daily basis. Even if you are not involved romantically, just having a friend can make your life better.
