Social health is just as important as exercise. While exercise is crucial for maintaining physical health, social interaction is equally important for maintaining overall well-being.
Studies have shown that social isolation can have negative effects on mental health, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
In fact, social isolation has been linked to a higher risk of premature death, on par with smoking and obesity.
On the other hand, social interaction has been shown to have numerous benefits, including improved mood, reduced stress levels, and increased cognitive function. Socializing with others can also promote a sense of belonging and purpose, which can improve overall life satisfaction.
It’s important to note that social interaction doesn’t necessarily mean going out to parties or events. It can involve simple activities such as having a conversation with a friend, joining a walking group, or being part of a fitness community like BCA Fitness Cambridge.
Social health is one of our foundations here at BCA Fitness with exercise, nutrition and lifestyle. This is why we like to get together outside of the training environment let our hair down and have some fun outside of reps and sets as you can see from the pics above.
In conclusion, while exercise is important for maintaining physical health, social interaction is just as important for maintaining overall well-being.
Taking the time to connect with others, whether in person or through technology, can have numerous benefits for mental health and overall quality of life, this is why here at BCA Fitness we are not a gym, classes or even a bootcamp.
We are a health and fitness community!!!
