Hugs…
The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But the
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 embrace 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.
