"Social support structure" is often at odds with diet, exercise, and enough sleep.
- lockhouse 4y agoIt is absolutely critical to good mental health and having healthy coping mechanisms for stress. Social support structure doesn’t necessarily mean staying out all night drinking and partying with your friends like a college student. It can also mean spending quality time with your family, neighbors, and acquaintances that you share hobbies and activities with.
- elijaht 4y agoNot sure about that. A few social activities are negative (nightlife, eating out maybe), but most seem to be neutral to me (hanging out, gaming, religion), and it's pretty easy to find positive activities (walking/hiking, sports, climbing).
- sysadmindotfail 4y agoLife is a series of endless choices. I recently ran a 24hr relay. There were absolutely those who drank/partied while they participated. They posted slower times and probably slept less. I didn't sleep as much as usual (because I was waking up to run every 6hrs), but I slept more, didn't party, ran faster than them. Neither of us was right/wrong in our choices. I would have felt like crap if I had their habits, but maybe it doesn't affect them.
