when people hug for 20 seconds or more, the feel-good hormone oxytocin is released. Oxytocin has been shown to boost the immune system and reduce stress. Plus hugging is: * Heart healthy *reduces stress *helps babies become well adjusted adults * Important to Adults too *Regenerates muscles *Makes you more mindful and present * minimizes fears *Longer hugs is even better for the body So why wouldn't want to help someone feel that good !
