Social interaction is equally important as our dietary habits, physical exercise, and sleep quality are for the prevention of neurodegeneration. Research indicates that social connection is linked to maximized longevity, dementia prevention, and decreased feelings of isolation. Not all social interaction is equal.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
