Kindness is free, as they say, and yet it holds as much value for the giver as the receiver.

Kindness can improve a person’s capacity for compassion and empathy, which strengthens relationships, and having good relationships with friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors has many health benefits.

A simple gesture may brighten your day and have positive effects on society.

“Most spider bites are not threatening,” says UNC Health family medicine doctor LeRon Jackson, MD. “They’re easily managed and taken care of.”

Spiders don’t carry diseases, the way ticks and mosquitoes do, and in the United States, where thousands of species of spiders live, there are only a few venomous types that cause concern — notably, the black widow and the brown recluse.

“We all deserve restful sleep, but lots of things can get in the way of that,” says UNC Health family medicine doctor Victoria Boggiano, MD. “If you’re not feeling like yourself, you don’t have to suffer. There are lots of small changes people can reasonably make that will make a huge difference.”

A lot of people walk around tired every single day. If you’re one of those people, you probably do the things you need to do—work, care for your family, socialize — all while wondering if you’ll ever feel rested again.

Research suggests this concept could do a lot of good. A 2025 study published in the journal Health Affairs estimates that a national MTM program would save the U.S. a whopping $32 billion in healthcare costs. So far, the benefits—fewer symptoms, less frequent hospital visits, better odds of living longer—are most promising for people with HIV/AIDs, diabetes, heart failure, cancer, and kidney disease, but scientists have only scratched the surface, says Seth Berkowitz, MD, MPH, the section chief for research at UNC School of Medicine. (Dr. Berkowitz investigates the health outcomes of medically tailored meal interventions.)

It depends on your condition—and, of course, your insurance.
