Hugs

During times of pandemics and illness we tend to avoid those around us, whether in work or leisure. Even though the distances we keep are for medical reasons and control of disease, we often forget the positive impacts of being close to the ones we love. You will not be surprised to learn that researchers have discovered, that if you hug for 10-20 seconds you will gain positive health benefits. The health benefits can include lowered blood pressure, release of feel good hormones and a sense of peace that comes when anxiety levels are lowered. It is a remedy for health that can be received and given in your own home to the ones you love. Check the article out below if you want to know more - happy hugging..
