Social Factors For Health...Be Happy Too😊

I thought this was really interesting. I worked my way through it last night — two and a half thousand words, which is a bit long.

Anyway, I’ve condensed it, and I hope you find it interesting. I’d appreciate your thoughts on it- witty or serious

TL;DR

Being sick isn’t just about biology — the world you live in has a huge impact.

Money, stress, race, neighbourhoods, education, and access to care all shape your health far more than we usually realise.

These social factors literally work their way into the body, which is why some groups stay healthier than others. If we really want people to be well, we have to fix the social conditions around them, not just treat the symptoms.
