Women Need To Be Hugged Once A Day For Their Health.We all know the truth that a warm hug is great for everyone. Researchers suggest that hugging may benefit women more than men.
A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina have found that hugging increases the levels of oxytocin, a hormone released during childbirth and breastfeeding (also known as the “bonding” or the “cuddle” hormone). Both men and women experienced higher levels of this hormone when hugged. The study revealed that the release of oxytocin has a greater effect on women’s heart.
you’re actually spreading happiness when you hug someone. During hugging your body releases dopamine and serotonin or the “feel-good” hormone. Serotonin is responsible with regulating mood, preventing depression and basically making you happy. So boost your serotonin levels with a hug
Hugs can also lower your heart rate and alleviate your fears and anxiety. The link between a positive emotional state and low levels of stress has already been established.
It has been proven over and over that social support and a stable social network is extremely important for a healthy and balanced life.So, if you feel depressed just go and hug someone.
