Why do we have a variety of friends who are all so different in character? How can we get along with them all? I think that each one helps to bring out a “different” part of each of us.

With one of them I am polite. With another, I joke. I sit down and talk about serious matters with one. With another I laugh a lot. I listen to one friend’s problems. Then I listen to another one’s advice for me.

Our friends are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When the puzzle is completed, they form a treasure box. A treasure of friends! They are our friends who understand me better than I understand myself.

They’re friends who support us through good days and bad. We all pray together and for each other.

Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our  well-being. Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes.

If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years  younger  than  your  real  age.  The  warmth   of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments, it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%.

We are so grateful to have a stock of Vitamin F!

Value your friends and keep in touch with them. See the funny side of things and laugh together and pray for each other in the tough moments.

Thank you for being one of our essential Vitamins! Please let your Vitamin F’s know how special they are to you.
