Did you know taking one picture daily has a health benefit?

All you photo addicted people out there, here's some good news for you. As it turns out, a research conducted by the University of Sheffield recorded that taking at least one photo a day has a surprising health benefit. The research captured data about what photos people took, what text they added and how they interacted with others on the photo-a-day site for two months. They found that taking a photo improved people's well being through self-care, community interaction and the potential for reminiscence.

One participant said, “My job was a very highly stressful role... There were some days when I’d almost not stopped to breathe, you know what I mean... And just the thought: oh wait a moment, no, I’ll stop and take a photograph of this insect sitting on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very salutary I think.” Another participant added, “It encourages me out of the house sometimes when I could just sit on my backside with a cup of tea. I’ll think maybe I’ll take a walk down on to the seafront and before I know it I’m two miles along the coast.” Well, it certainly looks like your photo addiction will pay off.
