Giving has many benefits, both for the
giver and the recipient. One of the most
important benefits of giving is that it can
improve our mental and physical health.
Studies have shown that giving to others
can reduce stress, lower blood pressure
and increase feelings of happiness and
wellbeing. This is because giving activates
the release of oxytocin, a hormone in the
brain that’s often referred to as the “feel-
good hormone”.

Another benefit of giving is that it can
help to build and strengthen relationships.
When we give to others, we are expressing
our care and concern for them, which can
lead to deeper connections and stronger
bonds. Additionally, giving can be a way to
express our gratitude and appreciation for
the people and things in our lives.
