It Improves Your Immune System
People who remain social are less likely to get sick, research suggests. According to a 2015 study in Psychoneuroendocrinology, extroverts are less likely to catch a cold than introverts. The scientists found that extroversion created special genes that strengthened the immune system.
The National Institute of Aging adds that socializing reduces the number of interleukin-6. These markers may eventually develop into rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. Of course, researchers don’t recommend that you interact with sick people.
