Siblings keep us physically fit. 18. .Many people believe that friends and family have the largest
impact on how healthy our lifestyle is. And staying fit together may help grow that sibling bond. Nearly one-third

On average, those with poor social connections died about 7. 5 years earlier than those with solid bonds. This may be because caring about our friends
and family inspires us to take better care of ourselves. 20
