Study: Spend time with your parents so that they can live longer

Studies conducted by the University of California have shown how our parents can extend their lives.

These results have shown the need for children's closeness and love toward their parents.

Loneliness plays a major role in the aging process. After the survey of 1,600 older people, with an average age of 71, researchers have reached these results.

During this six-year study, only 14% of seniors have died, who had visitors compared to 23% of participants who had not been visited by the family.

The older people became, the more important their family ties became.

Generally, older people are always willing to share their experiences with younger people as well as express their emotions.

So it is important to remember how much time our parents and grandparents have spent on us and how much they need our care and love.

With just one visit or phone call a week we can increase their chances of living longer and happier lives.
