Hugs keep us alive!

Scientists from University of Arkansas have found that hugging increases hemoglobin levels in the blood as well as the levels of oxytocin (love hormone/feel good hormone). Not only do hugs feel good but they also keep us good.




Here are some other benefits of hugging :

Biological benefits: 


1. Curb appetite

2. Could relieve physical pain
3. Could help people with insomnia 

Social benefits


1. Removes loneliness

2. Builds self esteem
3. Removes fear
4. Emotional healing

Makes me wonder, is this the reason behind Mata Amritanandamayi's healing hugs? 




Here's a big one for you > :D <
