In fact, British searchers have analyzed many studies and published their results in the BMC Public Health journal. They concluded that volunteers are happier and live longer than the average population.

According to the analysis, volunteering decreases chances of suffering from depression, while increasing personal growth and satisfaction. Hence, the mortality risks are reduce from 20%. In this way, after prostate cancer, demonstrating generosity and selflessness will help you to feel good, both in your body and you mind.
