A short phone call with an old friend can lift a mood faster than most things you could name, yet friendship rarely makes anyone's health checklist. This is the case for putting it there: what steady connection does for memory and stress hormones, why loneliness registers in the body like a physical strain, and simple ways to keep real friendships alive across a busy life. Warm, clear-eyed, and genuinely encouraging.
