So is banging your head against the wall, whether you do it in boxing or other sports.
And there's plenty of other risks like not taking your vaccines or not taking cancer screening tests.
And I have a whole discussion of which ones you should do and which ones you shouldn't.
But probably the single most important one that is often ignored is social activity and engaging in rich social relationships, whether with family, friends, acquaintances.
We tend not to include that in the wellness category.
And the medical profession tends not to include that in its worries about health.
But it turns out to be probably the single most important thing you can do for your wellness.
Millions of people have actually been studied on this.
And those people who have rich social relationships, you know, enjoy dinners with other people, are much healthier, live longer, and in fact, are happier.
And the data are pretty substantial.
You look at studies from Sweden and China and Australia and the United States, and you come to a similar conclusion.
Those people with close family ties, close friendships, they're 22 to 30, 33% less likely to die over the next six to eight to 10 years.
On the other hand, if you're lonely, socially isolated, you don't have or have zero to one close friends,
It's like smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
It is really deadly.
Now, people think, oh, these social relationships, they're psychologically good.
But the fact is they're physiologically good.
They're good for your body.
They're good for your brain.
They increase dopamine.
