Have
you been hugged lately? Did you know... "The average length of a hug
between two people is 3 seconds, but researchers have discovered
something fantastic.
When a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therapeutic effect on the body
and mind. The reason is that a sincere hug produces a hormone called
"oxytocin", also known as the love hormone. This substance has many
benefits in our physical and mental health, helps us, among other
things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. This
wonderful calming is offered free of charge every time we have a person
in our arms, when we cradled a child, cherish a dog or cat, we're
dancing with our partner, the closer we get to someone or just hold the
shoulders of a friend." Try it out and hug a Beloved today!
