You are not only helping someone in need when you volunteer, you are also improving your own health, according to a new study.
Doing Good is Good for You: 2013 Health and Volunteering Study reveals that 76 percent of U.S. adults who volunteer report improved physical health and lower levels of stress. The study also illustrates that employers benefit from employees who volunteer in terms of better employee health and in professional-skills development.
The study was released by UnitedHealth Group and the Optum Institute.
