HUGGING

“Average length of a hug is 3 seconds. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therapeutic effect on the body and mind.

Did you know “Hugging is a great medicine”. It not only transfers energy but gives the person hugged an emotional lift too. Isn’t that great

Scientist says that hugging is a form of communication because it can say things you don’t have the words for. You need minimum four hugs a day for survival. Around eight hugs for maintenance and twelve for growth.

And nicest thing about a hug is that you usually can’t give one without getting one😊

Hugging for 20 seconds releases oxytocin, which can cause you to trust someone more

A hug lowers cortisol and norepinephrine to decrease stress.

Hugging is good for you in the following ways:

• Lowers Blood Pressure
• Lowers risk of heart diseases
• Stress reduction
• Fights fatigue
• Boosts your immune system
• Fights infections
• Eases Depression

20 secs long releases the bonding hormone and neurotransmitter, oxytocin , which is nature’s antidepressant and anti anxiety hormone.

Hug if you want to live longer and healthier:

• Hugging is the key to happiness – Leo Buscaglia
• Hugs can make you feel psychological more secure
• Touching releases endorphins (“the happy hormones”), which kills the pain and increase immunity to fight diseases
• Lower Blood pressure
• Boost Immune system – Positive feelings strengthen the blood’s immune system
• Stress Relief: feeling stressed? Go give someone a squeeze.
• Fear Reduction: Hugs helps soothe individuals’ existential fears.

These days people started to give “Free hugs “outside. Its good but what about the ones we stay with?

Start now. Hug them and say whatever you want to. It will make a world of difference for both.
