Researchers define productive activity as something that makes a contribution to the community. People who participate in meaningful work may have an improvement in their physical and mental health, feel happier, and have better cognition. They are also less likely to be depressed when suffering a loss. Volunteer work has also been linked with a reduced risk of hypertension. Consider being more active in your community, whether it’s organizing a cleanup of a beach or neighborhood park or serving meals at a homeless shelter.
