My social life is almost too full right now, Weekends are completely full with connections. This past weekend; wine dinner comparing Oregon pinot noir to French burgandys, then to a boat trip seeing fall colors and more wine consumption with discussion about the world and travel. What came out of that is I need to watch the movie, ' Zorba the Greek'.

When
Lissa Rankin, MD researched what optimizes the health of the body and
what predisposes the body to illness, she was surprised by what she
found. When asked "What's the greatest risk factor for disease?" she
found that perhaps it's not our diet, our exercise regimen, the absence
of bad habits like smoking, or genetics that most profoundly affect the
health of the body. To her surprise, she found that scientific evidence
suggests that loneliness may be the greatest public health issue few
people are talking about. We are tribal beings, and when we feel lonely,
our nervous systems sense a threat, activating stress responses that
predispose the body to illness. When we come together in conscious
community, our nervous systems relax and the body's self-healing
mechanisms activate, which may be the most important medicine we need.
What is the cure for this underrepresented public health issue? Dr.
Rankin's prescription may surprise you.
