现在不用怕啦，因为科学证明——自拍有利于身心健康，有利于提高幸福感，我们自拍可是为了健康~~
A new study published in the journal Health found that taking a photo (any photo) every day and sharing it online improves your well-being.
发表在《健康》杂志上的一项新研究发现，每天拍照(任何照片)并在网上分享出来能提高幸福感。
Researchers found that snapping and sharing wasn’t simply an exercise in narcissism, but an act of self-care. Taking the photo encouraged mindfulness, while the sharing promoted social interaction.
研究人员发现，拍照和分享不仅仅是一种自恋的行为，而是一种自我照顾的行为。拍照鼓励正念，而分享促进了社会互动。
Looking at photos gives the subjects a sense of purpose, and planning to take them was a motivational force, the researchers say.
研究人员说，看照片会让实验对象有一种使命感，而且计划拍照是一种激励力量。
“It encourages me out of the house sometimes,” another participant says.
另一位参与者说:“有时候拍照能鼓励我走出家门。”
On the social side, comments kept people connected with their friends and family, and even helped some combat loneliness.
在社交方面，评论照片让人们与朋友和家人保持联系，甚至帮助一些人克服孤独。
Researchers concluded in a press release that posting photos online is “an active process of meaning making.”
研究人员在一份新闻稿中总结说，在网上发布照片是“一个制造意义的积极过程”。
