Did you know that partying is healthy for you? For Over 30 years I have been catering some of the best parties from New York, to L.A. and I have witnessed the health and success benefits of partying all around me. So if you’re feeling guilty for feeding your face a bit too much at a party this holiday season, I have good news for you; Partying and celebrating is a healthy way of life! Webster’s defines "partying" as “a gathering for social entertainment or the entertainment itself, often of a specific nature; as a card Party, cocktail Party..." Well they didn’t mention downing a fifth of Vodka, so I guess we can enjoy ourselves without getting hammered. The very act of socializing is very beneficial to your health. Here’s how it goes: Shrinks, head doctors, mental health physicians or whatever you want to call them have been telling us for years to get out and party. Socializing and partying is a way to boost our immune system, and with so much talk about the immune system today we need all the help we can get. Social contact in a friendly, pleasant, upbeat environment is extremely reinforcing to who we are as humans. We are by nature social animals.
Socializing and partying enriches us. So, why doesn't everyone partake in this age-old ritual? Well here are some of the reasons: I’m too old, not hip enough, too tired, don’t have the time, it’s too far, I don’t like the food they’re serving, my clothes don’t fit--go ahead add on to the list, I know you can! Listen, it’s your life, but if you want some long overdue happiness, you can start by joining the party!
Here’s more good news, happier people live longer. Elaine Wethington, Co-director of the Bronsen Brenner Life Course Center at Cornell University, states that people who have a strong social support system have a greater sense of well being. On the flip side Lisa Berkman, Chair of Health and Social Behavior at Harvard School of Public Health, says studies have shown that reclusive people are at increased risk for poor health. Hey! I’m not making this up. So here we go again, you can make your excuses or jump into the game of life. If you know someone who is a little down and lonely, be a good neighbor and next time you’re invited to a party do them a life changing favor- invite them! And if you yourself enjoy a good party all I have to say is party on!
So next time someone says, “We’re having a party, can you make it?” Think first, then say with a BIG SMILE I would be honored to attend your party. Who knows maybe PartyCharlie will be catering it!
