David R. Hamilton, Ph.D., wants you to be kind! Throughout his interview, the author of The Five Side Effects of Kindness offers advice on just how helping others can improve your health. Even kindness has side effects, including benefits your heart. David explains that we each have “molecules of kindness” in our bodies, and when we are kind or receive kindness from others, these molecules of oxytocin and nitric oxide expand our arteries, allowing more blood to flow through and lowering our blood pressure. David also reveals that kindness is contagious; you can “catch the kindness bug” when someone shows you compassion or you witness another receiving kindness, and this creates a ripple effect of kindness throughout your world. Listen in to learn more about the science behind kindness and even experience its effects yourself by following along as David leads a loving-kindness meditation.
