Why is social engagement good for our health? Paula Sikes at Cogir Senior Living joins Suzanne to talk about the benefits of community for seniors. Social wellness is a focus in this summer's Vitality Revolution podcast series.

Paula says, "We find that social engagement is so important and makes a difference in the residents' life, not just in their social aspect, but even in their health. I've heard statistics, they've done studies that residents who isolate themselves in their rooms or maybe you're living in your own home and you're not having that social outlet with other people, it's like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. That's how much it affects your health."
