The Benefit of Caring For Charlotte Seniors
BrightStar Care of Charlotte Loves To Care for Older Adults
The Benefit Of Helping Others Is Helping Ourselves Too
“The responsibility for looking after others raises a lot of practical issues,” it also increases stress levels, and can be exhausting as well as mentally draining. However the benefit of being a caregiver that has been overlooked until recently can be found in the amount of care that is given and the self gratifying return of helping someone in need. “In a recent study published by the American Journal of Epidemiology, caregivers were found to have a higher life expectancy than non-caregivers. In fact, figures revealed that those caring for their loved ones had 18% less chance of dying in the following six-year period than non-caregivers.”These studies shine a different light on what is often referred to as the “caregiver burden,” as gerontologists show us there is a certain “caregiver gain” to caregiving. Of course, any study needs to take into account that those who care for their loved ones often do so because they have the physical and mental strength in the first place, which means it stands to reason they would be more fit both physically and mentally. Nevertheless, caregiving seems to affect us positively. Source: https://aleteia.org/2019/05/09/the-surprising-hidden-benefit-of-caregiving
