There are plenty of guidelines for physical fitness — from getting in 10,000 steps to drinking eight glasses of water every single day — but we aren't often given recommendations for keeping your social life in good health. Kasley Killam, a Harvard-trained social scientist and leading expert in social health, came up with a social workout plan that people can use to maintain their social fitness. Killam detailed the method in her recently published book, "The Art and Science of Connection." "The 5-3-1 guideline is meant to be like a reference point for people," Killam tells CNBC Make It. Just like the recommendation of sleeping for eight hours a night, the 5-3-1 guideline is a research-based suggestion.

But research shows that money can't buy happiness; happy people just seem to be more successful. "Happy people make more money, have better relationships [and] are more successful in life, not vice versa," Muller says. Unless you're using money to buy experiences, get extra time or donate to others, it can't buy you happiness, social scientist and happiness expert, Arthur C.

☆ 4 theories to help explain why you dream: 'The dreaming brain is as active as the waking brain,' neuroscientist says
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-11 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

"We now know all consciousness is powered by electricity, including dreaming, and it turns out the dreaming brain is as active as the waking brain – sometimes even more so," he said. "In this theory, dreams are like a virtual simulation where we can test different responses and imagine the consequences," he said. Brain functionalityA straightforward theory about why we dream is that dreaming can be good for "keeping the brain tuned and ready even during sleep." In other words, the processes that the brain experiences as you're dreaming may be helpful for brain functionality and keeping your brain sharp. But adrenaline is still present while you're sleeping; think about how your heart can race when you're dreaming about being chased.

After 20 years of interviewing centenarians and visiting "Blue Zones," the areas in the world where people tend to live the longest, Dan Buettner learned something that he didn't expect. "When you take worldwide data on happiness, and you control for everything else, you find that people who live next to water are...happier than people who [don't]," Buettner says. In fact, all five Blue Zones — Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, Calif., U.S.; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica — are on the water. "It may be the tranquilizing effect of water or it may be that the climate is moderated because of the water," Buettner says. A 2017 systematic review published in BMJ Open found that spending time near coasts, lakes or rivers can "promote health and well-being and prevent disease."

For two decades, Dan Buettner has studied longevity in places like Ikaria, Greece and Okinawa, Japan. While identifying the world's "Blue Zones," the five areas with the longest-living people, the researcher has studied what factors lead to prolonged lifespans. "The average 20-year-old female could live about 10 extra years if they ate a Blue Zone type diet," Buettner says, referring to a whole-food, plant-based diet. Men, he found, could live an extra 13 years if they eat like Blue Zone residents. Buettner says there is one key thing people in their 20s can do right now to boost their longevity.

Even the highest of achievers can struggle with feelings of loneliness and unbearable sadness behind closed doors — a state that's commonly referred to as high-functioning depression. High-functioning depression isn't a clinical diagnosis, but the National Alliance on Mental Illness recognizes it as a term that can describe "anyone who is grappling with mental health issues while accomplishing their day-to-day tasks and upholding their responsibilities." Symptoms of high-functioning depression can present differently than the severe signs of major depressive disorder like diet changes, sleep disturbances, fatigue and feelings of hopelessness, says April Simpkins, mother of the late Miss USA winner Cheslie Kryst. "For some people like Cheslie, it can feel like [it's] normal to be in the state of feeling sadness or feeling loneliness. We spoke to Chase Cassine, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, about managing symptoms of high-functioning depression.

A quarter of Gen Zers polled in February noted "not finding love" as their greatest worry, according to an EduBirdie survey of 2,000 participants from the generation. Finding a life partner was one of the biggest perceived challenges for 22% of those polled — a bigger concern for them than finding meaningful career opportunities. Some Zoomers seem to be getting married at younger ages and while they're jumping the broom and starting families, a number of unpartnered Gen Zers are dealing with anxiety about their romantic future. For Gen Zers looking for love, the playing field is a little different than that of Millennials when they were in their 20's. Really assess the quality of the connections in your life because loneliness can affect you even when you're surrounded by people.
