Serve the Community to Serve Yourself

By Brandi Swieter

Some people get mandated to handle community service while others volunteer to help out within their neighborhood. No matter how the work came about, anyone who serves their community is actually serving themselves as well. Many benefits come from doing this type of task.

Improving Your Mood

Volunteering allows people to get outside, as well as surround themselves with others. Each of these things can greatly improve mood and limit some symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety. Those currently experiencing a poor mood should do themselves a favor and volunteer within their community to increase their happiness.

Losing Weight

People who are overweight may stray from community service due to their embarrassment over their size. Size should never stop anyone from getting out there and helping others, particularly because volunteer work can actually be beneficial for weight loss. Many community service opportunities are physical, such as gardening and planting trees, painting fences and signs, moving boxes, and patrolling the area during community events. Individuals will be burning fat and gaining muscle while helping others, making it a win-win for everyone involved.

Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s and other memory diseases can set in as people age. Keeping the mind strong and healthy is the only way to prevent early onset. Volunteering is said to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s due to the overall boost in health it brings. People who socialize regularly with others are also said to be less at risk for memory struggles, making community service vital to health.

Living a Longer and Healthier Life

Those who volunteer are said to live longer. With better health, less depression, a start on weight loss, and more benefits, people who regularly engage in community service will live much longer and healthier. They are far less likely to end up in the hospital for illnesses, and have far lower levels of stress. People should volunteer throughout the entire year to reap all the benefits.

Good health is an important goal to achieve, and people can achieve it with the help of community service. Not only are they helping out others in need, but also improving their own lives in the process. Anyone looking to volunteer should seek out opportunities in their neighborhoods. There are always people in need of a helping hand.
