How about a hug?

Are you a hugger or not?
​
Would you hug more if you knew about the mental health boosting
benefits of hugging?

• Studies have shown that physical touch, like a hug, can boost serotonin levels and improve overall mental well-being.
• Oxytocin, also known as the "cuddle hormone," is released during physical touch and can reduce anxiety and tension.
• Physical touch even hand shake through to a more fully formed hug can help you feel a boost in self esteem and demonstrate to others you love how much you care.
• You can also boost your feeling of being part of your 'tribe' as not all communication is verbal
