Source-ANI: Ignoring your email inboxes can reduce stress by having a positive effect on the heart, new research has suggested.

But scientists say quitting email would be as difficult as giving up drugs.

University of California informatics professor Gloria Mark, who conducted the survey said, “I had this crazy idea that people were addicted to email. So I started thinking, the way you can test that is if you take people away from email cold turkey. You should see symptoms of withdrawal, the same way people are addicted to alcohol or drugs.”

The results claimed that the volunteers became less stressed after being away from email. Another interesting thing is what people did to communicate without email. Nearly all participants reported getting up out of their office and walking around a lot more. They interacted with people face to face, and they reported it as a benefit. The study also suggested that limiting email access might boost workers'' concentration levels as study participants reported that they were more productive.
