Facebook Is Making You Fat

Hey there! Do you need another reason to quit Facebook? Not a problem. It turns out that people who quit Facebook experience lower cortisol levels after just five days. Cortisol, for those of you who don't receive the daily email updates from LIVESTRONG, is the "fight or flight" stress hormone. One of the side effects associated with high cortisol levels: extra fat creation, especially belly fat.
I wish I could tell you that I've gotten thinner since quitting Facebook. It ain't necessarily so. I do feel mentally healthier, however. I'm kind of looking forward to the day where I don't write for a living any more. I'll delete all my accounts everywhere and disappear like Salinger or Bobby Fischer. The only difference is that nobody's going to come looking for me. They will still be glued to their phones.
