Loneliness isn’t just emotional — it changes your body and brain:
1️⃣ Raises stress (↑ cortisol → anxiety, poor sleep)
2️⃣ Triggers inflammation (affects mood chemicals)
3️⃣ Disrupts sleep & reward systems
Even small social moments can help protect your mind 🫂

Just 22 minutes per day is all you need!
22 minutes of exercise looks like:
4 minutes of stretching in the morning +
8 minutes of walking, to & from your car / bus-stop+
3 minutes of taking the stairs instead of the lift +
7 minutes of housework
It doesn’t have to be intense to make a difference!
