New research shows volunteering could help you live a longer, healthier life.

Researchers analyzed self-reported data from 2,605 Americans aged 62 and older .

Retirees seemed to benefit the most, with a stronger association between volunteering and slower aging than current members of the workforce.

Biological age is a measurement of how old your cells and tissues appear compared to your actual age.

Volunteers can also improve mental health and buffering any loss of important roles, like spouse or parent, as we age.

“Volunteering can give us a bit of a psychological lift and make an individual feel like they’re trying to do something to make the world better,” Zalzala said.
