An interesting article came out in the business insider recently featuring San Mateo and touching on the subject of loneliness being an epidemic.
While coming out of an epidemic and the transitions we all have made; thought we would get a conversation going here in the forums that can do a little bit more 😊 introspection and positive alignment thinking. 🤔
Many of us are lonely, touch starved, companion deprived and that’s why we seeking companionship and cuddling in order to combat the stress.
This article also sort of ties into the blue zone theories.
And no, we’re not talking about politics we’re talking about health, life and longevity.

Maybe 🤔 cuddling will soon qualify for HSA/Fsa. ( yes after roe v wade is overturned and they police women’s bodies I’m not for more govt policing. But it is interesting push article and will have zero traction because lobbying and monetizing for it is not gonna help.) BUT it got people thinking and chatting about it. A good light 💡
What steps do you feel should be implemented for a more well rounded life and focus on community health creating a ripple into Blue Zones?
