Hugging Can Lower Your Blood Pressure

We all know that feeling of being stressed out or anxious. But did you know that hugging can help to reduce those feelings? One study found that people who hugged frequently had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. So if you’re feeling stressed, why not reach for a hug instead of a cup of coffee?

Hugging Can Boost Your Immune System

Hugging can also help to boost your immune system! One study found that people who hugged frequently were less likely to get sick during cold and flu season. So if you’re looking for a way to stay healthy this winter, don’t forget the power of a good hug!
