Is there a health advantage to being generous?

Many, the brain, which is where everything happens.

When you do something kind, you feel good.

I mean, there's a helper's high. It's called that for a reason. But

neurotransmitters, endorphins, all these things are released. You really feel

better and the dopamine and the oxytocin that flood your brain, it cascades through the rest of your body.

And so we can actually see that when someone is generous, when they give of themselves,

with no expectation of return, they just give. And it could be small, it could be a smile at the right time and you

know you've made a difference in that person's day. Our bodies literally feel it

reduces stress, anxiety, it lowers your blood pressure, I mean so it starts in the brain and it says we're doing

something good for ourselves for the other person for society. I mean you can look at

studies that show acts of generosity lead to everything from longer marriages, longer lives, better health,

earning more.

How do we give unto others when we are barely able to keep our own lives together.
