This question was arose during the presentation of one of my classmates during class. It did so in the manor of the professor asking the class if helping others in this manor can truly lead to and benefits of health roles in your self. It was answered by the statement of "Well the whole point in doing the Personal Growth Project was to change something in your life and do it for the betterment your happiness. And if helping others truly made yourself happy then it was a good project to pursue." This then leads to the golden question of "Does mental health and improvement lead to improvements in physically health?" And to find any evidence of such one must dive into specifics and in the perspective of volunteering. I know for myself as I volunteered for community service through my fraternity on one early Saturday morning, I was energized and felt great through out the day, and even week after. Knowing that I had sacrificed my Saturday morning sleep to help children of autism is one of the best things I've done. It nearly eliminated my physical tiredness and I felt great physically. So yes I do believe that helping others out of the kindness of your heart can lead to physical health improvements.
