Send this to a friend that GETS YOU!!
"Studies suggest that social support and connections, specifically communicating with female friends, can help lower cortisol levels in women.
Cortisol is often referred to as the stress hormone, and maintaining healthy levels is important for overall well-being.
Talking to someone you trust can help you process emotions and release tension, reducing stress and anxiety.
Also, the tendency for women to “tend-and-befriend” during stressful situations, seeking social support and bonding with others, is supported by research showing reduced cortisol levels after interacting with female friends.
Studies have shown that when women engage in supportive social interactions, such as talking with female friends or embracing a romantic partner, their cortisol levels tend to be lower than when dealing with stress alone or with unfamiliar individuals."
