Philanthropy is Good for Your Health: 🎁 The Joy of Giving Back This Holiday Season
During the holiday season we look forward to celebrating and connecting with loved ones. It’s also a time of giving! Donating to a local charity, volunteering your time, or offering and to help a neighbour in need are all philanthropic acts.
Research has shown that our physical and mental health can be boosted by the act of giving, such as: enhanced mood, reduction in anxiety, and reduction in inflammation. Giving back to charities also helps to develop a sense of belonging.
Check out the video below to learn more and hear how Purolator gives back! For resources to support your physical, mental and social wellbeing, visit Purolatorhealth.com.
