Why Serve?

The Buck Institute for Age Research reports that people who serve... - even once a month - have a 44% lower risk of a major disease than those who don't. That's the same protection you'd get by exercising four times a week!

Why it works: Volunteering boosts dopamine, a brain chemical that enhances feelings of pleasure and reward. And all those good feelings fire up your body's production of antibodies that fend off illness!
