Fancy a social media detox? Giving up Facebook can reduce levels of cortisol, a key hormone related to stress, according to a new study.However, the benefits aren't quite so clear-cut.
Quitting the social network was also shown to lower study participants' sense of wellbeing, too.
And, after the test period of five days, most of the volunteers were happy to check back in on Facebook again.
Researchers from the Australian Catholic University and the University of Queensland in Australia say the mixed results could indicate that temporary rather than complete breaks from Facebook are best for our overall health.
