Barbecuing battles stress

Age-old theories about healing the human psyche may be going up in smoke. According to a recent survey of what's cooking on the backyard barbecue this summer. it appears that grilling may be to the 90s what therapy was to the 80s. The “pleasure principles" associated with barbecuing are many, according to the annual nationwide survey commissioned by Weber-Stephen Products Co., makers of the famous Weber' charcoal kettle and Genesis' gas barbecue grills In fact, two-thirds of survey respondents said barbecuing helps reduce stress, nine out of ten said it s a relaxing change of pace, and 89 percent said it's a pleasant social activity. This recent discovery of the stress reducing health benefits of barbecuing arrives at an oppor tune time, as consumers in the 90s want more time to relax, less stress in their lives and more opportunities to get together with

families and friends Barbecuing has a positive effect on personal well-being in part because it is an outdoor ac tivity. Ninety-four percent of the survey respondents cited being outside as a major advantage to grilling. “All of us suffer from at least a mild ‘cooking complex,’ " said Jennifer Davidoff, director of marketing for Weber. “For on-the-go people, making the time to prepare a meal is in itself cause for stress and anxiety. Barbecuing takes meal preparation out of the kitchen and into the great outdoors, offering time-saving advantages. minimal hassle and a rewarding end result ’’ Barbecuing, it seems, is inherently a social activity —a time to gather friends and family for an enjoyable, stress-free gettogether Eighty-eight percent of those surveyed cited casual entertaining as the most frequent occasion to cook on the grill, followed by ordinary weekends at 86 percent Topping the list of holiday barbecuing occasions is the Fourth of July at 80 percent.
