Como cualquier canci\u00f3n triste te dir\u00e1, estar solo no es idea de diversi\u00f3n de nadie. Pero una investigaci\u00f3n cada vez mayor sugiere que sentirse solo podr\u00eda afectar m\u00e1s que solo su estado mental.<\/p>\n

Tomemos por ejemplo un estudio reciente reportado por USA Today<\/a>. Investigadores de la Universidad de Chicago encuestaron a m\u00e1s de 2,100 adultos mayores de 55 a\u00f1os y descubrieron que aquellos que se sienten solos ten\u00edan un riesgo 14 por ciento mayor de muerte prematura.<\/p>\n

Sus no es el primer estudio<\/a> esto llega a esta conclusi\u00f3n, ya que el aislamiento social se ha relacionado con afecciones como aumento del estr\u00e9s, presi\u00f3n arterial alta y depresi\u00f3n. A medida que la creciente igualdad correlaciona la soledad con los resultados negativos para la salud, la pregunta se convierte en qu\u00e9 hacemos como sociedad para combatir la soledad.<\/p>\n

Si bien no existe una cura simple para la soledad, servicios como Meals on Wheels ciertamente pueden ayudar. Nos gusta decirles a nuestros voluntarios que est\u00e1n trayendo algo m\u00e1s que comidas saludables a domicilio para nuestros clientes. "No son solo las comidas las que me ayudan", dice Lenora, una cliente en el norte de Minneapolis. Ella dice que mientras su hija e hijo viven cerca y la visitan regularmente, tambi\u00e9n es bueno tener una visita garantizada todos los d\u00edas de la persona que entrega sus comidas.<\/p>\n

Para algunos de nuestros clientes, la persona que entrega las comidas puede ser una de las pocas personas que ven en todo el d\u00eda. Otros como Lenora tienen amigos y familiares que est\u00e1n muy involucrados en sus vidas. Si bien cada uno de nuestros clientes se encuentra en diferentes situaciones, consideramos que la visita amistosa y la verificaci\u00f3n de seguridad son algo adicional que puede ayudar en la lucha m\u00e1s amplia contra el aislamiento social.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s de Meals on Wheels, hay otras organizaciones que trabajan para ayudar a aliviar el aislamiento de los adultos mayores. Hermanitos Amigos de los Ancianos<\/a> es una organizaci\u00f3n local que se dedica espec\u00edficamente a conectar voluntarios con personas mayores en nuestra comunidad.<\/p>\n

Si conoce a una persona de la tercera edad en su vida que podr\u00eda beneficiarse de las visitas regulares de voluntarios amigables, programas como Meals on Wheels y Little Brothers Friends of the Ancianos podr\u00edan ser parte de la soluci\u00f3n. Otros recursos para personas mayores tambi\u00e9n se pueden encontrar en minnesotahelp.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Y si no ha llamado a su madre, abuelo, t\u00eda o amigo en mucho tiempo, aproveche esta oportunidad para hacerlo. Les encantar\u00eda saber de usted, y podr\u00eda ser bueno para su salud.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
