Think about it on New Year’s Eve, friendship is an elixir of long life: even science says so

A friend extends your life. Aristotle already wrote that human beings are social animals, and he was right: people who can count on a supportive network are more resilient in the face of stress, less prone to depression and are more likely to adopt healthy lifestyles. The beneficial effect of friendly relationships is also reflected in heart health and the reduction of the risk of chronic diseases.
