Time to get on the phone and call mom! She'll live longer if you do!

According to a new study, hanging out with your mom (even an elderly relative) can actually help them live longer!

We love this! 

Here's what the study found: More companionship can help extend and even improve the quality of life for the elderly. The study discovered that the adults who were lonely consistently held higher mortality rates than those who were not lonely. 

Simple... feeling lonely can lead to a shorter life.

Have you called mom yet?
