6 REASONS WHY HUGS ARE POWERFUL.
Hugging is a powerful way of communicating you care and is also effective at healing sickness, disease, loneliness, depression, stress and anxiety. This simple human touch can deliver such joy and contentment.
Here are 5 reasons why you should squeeze as many lingering, loving hugs into your day as you possibly can:
#1 HUGGING DEEPENS THE BOND
The hormone Oxycontin is being released through a hug. Oxytocin fortifies bonds with our loved ones and has the capability to stimulate solidarity between total strangers.
#2 HUGGING CULTIVATES TRUST
Hugging nurtures human relationships, cultivates trust, increases confidence, and frankly, makes us happier people.
#3 HUGGING LOWERS STRESS
A good hug literally decreases the levels of cortisol found in the body which are produced when we are stressed out. Talk about a drug-free anti-anxiety treatment.
#4 HUGGING LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE.
Your heart will thank you for the hugs you collect through the day.
#5 HUGGING BUILDS CONNECTION
Connections are fostered when people take the time to appreciate and acknowledge one another. A hug is one of the easiest ways to show appreciation and acknowledgement of another person.
