5. Volunteering
You’re helping yourself more by helping others. *We know it’s a bold statement, but if your motives are entirely pure, believe us; we are more than right. A recent study published in the Journal of Health Psychology explained that volunteering extends your life as long as your intentions are good.
People who volunteer for personal motives can not benefit from these outstanding findings. In fact, the study added that those who volunteer for personal satisfaction might have the same mortality rates as people who don’t volunteer at all.
So, doing good from the bottom of your heart is key to adding several years to your life.
