In difficult times, people often recommend to “Stay positive”. However, when this leads to denying uncomfortable experiences, this attitude can turn into toxic and can become detrimental to .

Is taking it easy and slowing down when we age good for our and ? The “active grandparent hypothesis” says no. A recent study by a team of researchers from Harvard University confirms from an evolutionary perspective what we already know from many studies: physical activity is key for healthy ageing and longevity, and its importance increases with age. “Because we evolved to be active throughout our lives, our bodies need physical activity to age well.” is the key message from the paper’s lead author Daniel E. Lieberman.

Study says that physical activity later in life shifts energy away from processes that compromise health and toward mechanisms in the body that extend it.

Free time is important for resting and recovering and thus for . However, it seems that more is not always better. A series of studies by researchers from UPenn and UCLA found that too little free time leads to , as one would expect. However, too much free time can be detrimental for wellbeing as well because people feel less productive. Thus, the recommendation is to have moderate amounts of free time, and fill large amounts of free time, for example when unemployed, with purpose.


As an individual’s free time increases, so does that person’s sense of well-being—but only up to a point.
