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 cradle
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!
