Friends are better than pain killers, that’s what researchers at Oxford University have said in a new research.
In this new study it was found that spending time with friends makes us happier and healthy because our body releases Endorphins which are natural pain killers.
They study found that quality and quantity of our social relationship affects not only our mental health but also have impact on our physical health.
The research was published in ‘Scientific Reports’ which was based on study of 101 individuals between 18 and 34, finding that the larger the social circle the higher the pain tolerance.
