How to improve mental health: a simple method has been named
As is known, social isolation has a negative impact on a person’s condition.
But you can improve your mental health with the help of your loved ones.
Califia Farms conducted a survey involving several thousand UK residents.
Ultimately, the researchers said that communicating with friends is enough to feel good. However, you don’t need to do it too often or for too long, The Sun writes.
On average, as experts noted, a person needs to spend 1 hour and 49 minutes in the company of friends.
The publication also noted that just 25 minutes of communication with a friend has the same effect on a person as going to the gym or taking a soothing bath.
Survey participants shared how exactly they prefer to spend time with loved ones.
More than 50 percent emphasized that a conversation over a cup of coffee is enough, 46% decided that they would be more comfortable inviting someone for a walk, and just over 40% chose a friendly dinner.
At the same time, every second person noted that it is better to hold meetings without alcohol.
