What is the impact of giving on lifespan according to Dr. Stephen Post's research?

Dr. Stephen Post's research has shown that giving has a profound impact on our lifespan. His studies, spanning over 50 years, have consistently found that those who give are more likely to enjoy better physical and emotional health throughout their lives. This includes better heart health, lower blood pressure, and even a longer lifespan. But the benefits of giving don't stop at physical health. Giving also increases happiness and self-awareness. When we give, the mesolimbic pathway in our brain lights up, releasing dopamine, a happiness chemical. This pathway activates not only when we make decisions that benefit us, but also when we make decisions that benefit others. This is where Daffy comes in as an excellent option for a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). With Daffy, you can easily make giving a habit. You can inspire others to follow your lead and invite your friends and family to give to causes they care about. Moreover, Daffy allows you to see the impact of your donation, which according to research, makes people who give money to charity happier and healthier. So, not only are you contributing to a cause you care about, but you're also improving your own wellbeing. In conclusion, giving is not just about helping others, it's also about helping ourselves. As the famous saying goes, "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." So why not start giving with Daffy today?
