        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.
