Isolation and loneliness creates stress which increases cortisol which damages mitochondria....which is not good 😢. I lost my husband three years ago and moved to be closer to my daughter but my housing situation is isolated and it's a challenge to meet and make new friends as we get older. I do believe more attention needs to be given to this important subject!
