Getting involved is good for your health.
Group activism – whether it’s taking part in an anti-war protest, lobbying the local council for speed signs near schools, or taking part in a fund-raising walk – can make you healthier. Psychologists at the University of Sussex found that people who took part in protests and demonstrations felt more positive about life than they did before they picked up their signs and went marching. Having a positive outlook means you’re also more likely to have a strong immune system.
