B

There

is

a

saying,

“An

apple

a

day

keeps

the

doctor

away.”

Although

eating

properly

is important, being kind to others is also good for your health. Studies show that

people who perform kind acts are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other

people.

In one study at Arizona State University researchers found that many volunteers

experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after

performing a kind act. This feeling, called “a help’s high” may ac

tually help

reduce stress(

压力

) as the body releases(

释放

) naturally painkillers.

Stress can cause serious health problems, and heart depression, and sleeping

problems.

However,

the

study

found

that

volunteers

had

fewer

stress- related

health

problems when they did helpful things for other people.

The study also found that people who did nice things for others felt better about

themselves

as

well.

They

had

higher

self-esteem(

自尊

)

，

and

were

happier.

Many

believe

this is because volunteers spend more of their time with other people. People who

are more outgoing are often healthier.

Another

study

at

the

University

of

Michigan’s

Survey

Research

Center

confirmed

the

health

benefits

of

volunteering.

A

ten-year

study

showed

that

people

who

volunteered
