Many people realize that it is good to have at least one best friend, even more, to share personal stories with.

Another benefit that I can attest to myself is reason number 10, “having a healthy significant other can make you more likely to be healthy, too.” My boyfriend and I have started losing weight from working out and eating right. So it is possible that him working out contributed to me starting to work out and eat healthy foods.
