Health effects of Loneliness
Loneliness is an emotional response by an individual to isolation, lack of companionship and lack of social or emotional connection not due to choice. Thus one can be lonely even in a crowd because of the absence of a close person. Someone can decide to remain isolated but not lonely; that is by choice.
Lonely persons have no one to spend free time with or confide in or discuss important matters with.
Common causes include: Mental abuse, Inability to fit in, Heart break, Death, Divorce, Social media, Age (old age), Unstable marriage, Unstable close relationship, Lovelessness, Modernisation, Low-density neighbourhood. Of these, old age and low-density neighbourhood are the greatest culprits.
The health effects of loneliness are discussed below:
1. Depression
Loneliness is known to increase the risk of depression and hence the risk for suicide. Depression is a mental disorder characterized by low mood, sadness, hopelessness, helplessness and low self-esteem.
2. Dementia
Loneliness is known to increase the risk of dementia; it is a mental disorder resulting from a brain disease or brain injury. Dementia is common in old age and is characterized by recent memory loss, confusion, disorientation, difficulty in walking, poor speech and behavioural changes.
3. Chronic diseases (heart disease, stroke, High BP, obesity)
Loneliness is associated with high levels of the hormone called cortisol. This hormone leads to narrowing of blood vessels and rise in blood sugar, the excess of the later is converted to fat and stored in the adipose tissue leading to obesity.
Loneliness from study reports increase blood pressure by about 30 points, persistent high blood pressure can cause damage to blood vessels leading to plaque formation. If the heart blood vessels are involved, a form of heart disease is the result.
4. Premature death
Loneliness increases the risk of suicide in both young and old. Some researchers have shown that loneliness increases the risk of heart attack.
5. Insomnia
Loneliness is said to increase the blood level of cortisol, this chemical is known to cause anxiety and sleeplessness.
6. Poor response to medical care
Studies conducted in the University of Chicago, USA showed that patients with family support or support from friends respond better to medical treatment than those without such support.
7. Alcoholism
Some people seek solace in alcohol when lonely and this could lead to alcoholism and its attendant health effects.
8. Reduced Immunity
Loneliness is said to reduce our immunity, the ability to fight diseases. Loneliness reduces the production of the white blood cells called MONOCYTES which fight impending infections.

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this web site. I’m hoping the same high-grade site post from you in the future as well. Actually your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own website going now. Really blogging is spreading its wings and growing rapidly. Your write up is a great example.
Obviously whoever did this had an ancient map showing that this rock was once claimed by some Chinese dynasty, and is thus forever part of the Middle Kingdom. That’s the basis for a lot of Ch&i7n#821a;s diplomacy, isn’t it?
I was very encouraged to find this site. The reason being that this is such an informative post. I wanted to thank you for this informative analysis of the subject. I definitely savored every little bit of it and I submitted your site to some of the biggest social networks so others can find your blog.

3D printers! Maybe the next big gadget is a smelting machine. You insert your gold into the machine and when the gold is in its liquid form the machine and you can verify its purity and then you can mint them into a denomination of your choice.
MLB teams are not allowed to test for marijuana, or act on any suspicions of marijuana use, or so much as tell them not to get high so much, as negotiated by the players association. All they can do is trade a guy if they think it’s a problem. I think the Rays traded Kazmir because he was expensive and not very good. If the Rays started trading guys that got high, the team would look a whole lot different, and there would be a lot of players they couldn’t accept back in a trade
As a NYC visitor I made sure to read up on the proper cab hailing rules years ago. I still find it funny, every time I visit, to see tourists trying to hail a cab when clearly they already have a passenger. I witnessed it with my own eyes last month, when my very own husband did it! I had to reach up and pull his arm down several times even after explaining to him the light rules that Brian mentioned.However I didn't know that they had the option to pick you up if they felt like it, when they were off duty.
Yo, just turned into aware of your post via Google, and located that it’s really informative. I am going to watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful should you proceed this in future. Numerous other folks will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
Every good link building strategy must include those hard to find, unique links that can’t be replicated. Th#ye&8217;re usually a lot harder to get, but well worth the effort.

Thanks for the post. One various other thing is when you’re selling your possessions all on your own, one of the troubles you need to be alert to upfront is when to deal with property assessment accounts. As a FSBO company, the important to effectively moving your premises plus saving money about real estate agent profits is undrnstaeding. The more you realize, the easier your property sales effort is going to be. One area where by this is very critical is actually reports.

BUt everytime I try to import his contacts I have to switch to his personal account to send. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pero entonces Amorexia, lo que estás criticando es la técnica del artista. Concuerdo en que es desagradable, a mi tampoco me gusta pero es válida como expresión. No es elaborada, podrÃa decirse que simplista (comida de perro formando letras y un perro amarrado) pero al final de cuentas contiene factores importantÃsimos en el arte:1. Expresión (a su manera)2. Mensaje (también a su manera)3. Polémica (no es necesaria para que algo sea clasificado como arte pero los artistas la desean)
