Calling mom can reduce stress levels
Your mom was right (as usual): It's good for your health to give her a phone call.
This final note today.
Call your mom. No, seriously. Call your mom -- it's good for you.
The Wired Science blog from Wired magazine reports on a study today that shows when people are stressed, talking to mom made 'em feel better -- physiologically. Stress hormones dropped, comfort hormones rose. Contact has to be on the phone or in person. Texting doesn't do a thing for you.
Marketplace angle? None. Just a plug for moms everywhere.
At first glance, I loved this item and wanted to forward to my 3 adult sons. But in running down the research (through the Wired link you provided) it turns out to be based on a study done only with middle school girls! You raised my hopes, but the data isn't there ...yet....
