Q: A new study says that people who do this are less likely to die early?
A: Volunteer
PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER FOUND TO BE LESS LIKELY TO DUE PREMATURELY: Helping others out could actually keep you alive, according to new research. A review of 40 international studies found that those who regularly help out in their community are 20-percent less likely to die prematurely than those who never volunteer.
