"Social cattle" and "social fear", as hot words on the Internet, often appear in contemporary topics. The "social cow" is able to perform with ease on any occasion, without stage fright, even when facing strangers. Social fear is the opposite. In the eyes of social fears, social cattle are even a little ashamed of strangers’ self-familiarity. In fact, being a "social cow" is psychologically healthier. According to the latest research published in the international academic journal Social Psychology and Personality Science, greeting strangers more often can greatly improve happiness.

01

"Social cattle" have a high level of mental and physical health.

In the internet age, the distance between people is getting farther and farther, and mobile phones and computers have become the main tools for modern people to socialize. Whether walking, taking a bus, staying at home for leisure or having dinner, we can’t take our eyes off our mobile phones. Even with family and friends around, we still lack interactive communication. People’s spiritual world has become isolated and loneliness is everywhere.

The American Public Health Bureau issued a research report, pointing out that "loneliness" or "social isolation" is a public health epidemic. Social isolation means that there are few social relations or social interactions objectively. Loneliness is a subjective internal state.

The study mentioned at the beginning of the article found that the more people like to chat with strangers, the higher their satisfaction with life. Researchers say that short-term communication, greetings and thanks can increase people’s sense of belonging, thus improving happiness. "A sense of belonging means that a person feels accepted and valued by others, and is usually regarded as a basic human need," said Asijir, a professor at Sabanci University, who is in charge of the study. The British "End Loneliness Campaign" said that greeting strangers helps people build a sense of belonging. "The cost is very low, but the value is high."

"Social cattle" live longer. According to the data of longitudinal health and longevity survey in China published by scholars in West China Hospital, the elderly participate in social activities, especially socializing every day, and live longer. The study found that the elderly who participated in social activities more frequently lived longer than those who never participated in social activities. Researchers believe that frequent going out to participate in social activities may encourage individuals to maintain healthier life behaviors and abandon some unhealthy habits, such as less activity and long sedentary time, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.

The benefits of "social cattle" go far beyond longevity, and their brains tend to be younger. The research published in Neurology found that more contact with society is more related to the brain capacity related to overall and cognitive function, that is, the probability of "social cattle" suffering from dementia and depression in their later years is naturally lower. Old people who are willing to participate in social activities have a healthier psychology, have a lower risk of depression, and the atrophy of related brain areas has naturally improved.

Socialization is as important to life as food and water.

Social contact is the basic need of human beings, which is as vital to life as food, water and shelter.

According to a research report released by the American Public Health Bureau, loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 26% and 29% respectively, which is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Loneliness is more common than other health problems such as smoking, diabetes and obesity, which will increase the risk of heart disease by 29% and stroke by 32%, lead to the risk of depression/anxiety and dementia, and increase the susceptibility to viruses and respiratory diseases.

An analysis of 90 prospective cohort studies involving more than 2.2 million people in the world published by scholars of Harbin Medical University in the sub-journal Nature shows that lonely or socially isolated people have a high risk of death. The author believes that people who are socially isolated or lonely are less likely to eat healthily and exercise regularly, and more likely to smoke and drink. In addition, socially isolated people are less likely to get medical care because their social networks are smaller.

A study by Jiujiang scholars in Jiangxi shows that living alone or living alone continuously will increase the risk of hypertension. Studies have shown that the risk of hypertension in elderly people living alone increases by 19% compared with those living with their families.

An analysis of 3.4 million people also shows that loneliness, social isolation and living alone are all related to the increased risk of premature death, which is equivalent to obesity and smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

It is often happier to keep interacting with others and use mobile phones less.

So how do we get rid of loneliness? The research report of the American Public Health Bureau suggests: maintain continuous, frequent and high-quality interaction with others, invest time in cultivating interpersonal relationships, and take time out to contact friends or family every day; Join social and community groups, such as fitness, hobbies, professional and community service organizations, to cultivate a sense of belonging, meaning and purpose; Reduce behaviors that lead to disconnection from others, including harmful and excessive use of social media, reducing screen time, etc.

More contact between relatives and friends can reduce the risk of death. A research paper from the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom pointed out that less contact between relatives and friends will increase the risk of death. Less social interaction has a strong correlation with the increase of mortality, among which the frequency of visits by friends and family has the greatest influence, and the risk of death of volunteers who have never been visited by friends or family has increased by 39%. Surprisingly, even people who don’t live alone, if their friends or family never visit, their risk of death will increase by 25%. Even participating in group activities every week can’t alleviate these effects. This may be related to the quality of interpersonal relationships. For example, although some participants live with others, their relationships are not good. In this case, regular visits from relatives and friends are very important.

More parties, longer life "BMC Medicine" published a research article on social connection online, and the researchers found that the death risk of people who can’t often find someone to talk to is 39% higher than that of people with normal social connection. Regular gatherings and maintaining social connections have a positive impact on overall health.

Playing cards properly can prevent depression. A study conducted by scholars from Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology shows that playing cards is good for middle-aged and elderly people and helps them stay away from depression.

Social activities such as playing chess can prevent Alzheimer’s disease. An Australian study found that for the elderly aged 70 and over who are generally healthy and have no obvious cognitive impairment, actively participating in activities such as playing games, playing cards and playing chess may help reduce the risk of dementia.

1905 movie network news　Written and directed by Yang Bingjia, Wei Junzi as producer, Zhang Zhe as producer, Pengfei Qin as action director, starring Gao Weiman, Xiang Hao, Liu Ben and Zhang Di, will be launched on June 3rd. A few days ago, the film released the role poster, and all the characters with clear distinction between right and wrong appeared. The situation that the little people fought against the big forces was quite refreshing, and the new amazing role of Xie Miao, the most popular man in the Internet University, was even more exciting.

In the role poster exposed in the film "Arrogant", powerful and insidious big men and heroic and unyielding little people confront each other, and a strong sense of modern crime types overflows under the ancient costume. Cheng Blind Man (Xie Miao) was originally just a "knife catcher" who paid money to handle affairs. He met Niyan (Gao Weiman), a drunken woman who was slain and humiliated, by chance, and his brother Nijun (Zhang Haosen) was killed by Yu Wenying (Xiang Hao), a top power. Yu Wenying is extremely well-dressed and cruel, and regards human life as dirt. His minions He Qiufeng (Liu Ben) and Heijiao (Kang Xuan) are all sinister and vicious. As a blind man, he was furious and took the road of seeking justice for revenge, and Qin Niang (Zhang Di), a former confidante on the battlefield, did not hesitate to die together and was involved in this powerful dark dispute. In the poster, the role declaration highlights the confrontation between good and evil camps. The more brutal and insidious the big forces are, the more brave, unyielding and affectionate the little people are. After the poster was released, some netizens said: "It is this disparity in power that shows the dramatic tension and the soul of the characters. This film has held the cool feeling of crime movies to death."

Xie Miao, who is known as "the most popular man in the Internet University", has led the leading role in "Arrogant". No matter from the action design or the role richness, Xie Miao has ushered in a milestone in his personal film history. Cheng Blind, played by Xie Miao, originally didn’t intend to avenge Ni Yan. In the film, the protagonist witnessed and experienced the cruelty and injustice of evil forces, and finally the former god killer was awakened to start a refreshing revenge war. In addition, Xie Miao tried to close his eyes for the first time in the whole action scene in the film, and the excitement increased with the difficulty of the action. Xie Miao said: "If there’s one play that I can fully play, I think it’s" Arrogant ". Maybe I have accumulated so many plays before, just to become a blind man. " Wei Junzi, a producer of the film and a senior genre researcher, said: "This will be the beginning of a new stage for Xie Miao as an actor and an action actor." Before the release of the preview, some netizens were very much looking forward to Xie Miao’s new film and commented: "He is a good actor who should have been on fire long ago!"
