Do you feel excited? Let’s hug! Sad? Let’s hug! Doesn’t the most powerful magic that can free the stress be hugging and instantly put you in a fun mood? May it be your partner that gives you a tight, cozy compression or delicate hugs, hugs have the power to do everything to make everything better.
“Having explained this phenomenon, Dr. Abhas Kumar, a neurologist at the RJN Apollo Spectra hospital, tells us,” When we hug, our brain releases oxytocin (also known as the hormone of love) and “sensitive” chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin.
Hugs to fight blues
Many studies have found that people who get more hugs are less likely to feel sad or depressed. According to Dr. Kumar, the hug also reduces blood pressure, relaxes muscles, relieves pain and even increases immunity.
A deal with uncomfortable hugs
Dr. Jay Sukul, a psychologist from Marenga Asia hospitals, notes: “Physical touch is important, but it is important to admit that some people may not be comfortable with hugs, especially those who did not feel physical affection in childhood.”
Despite this, it adds that it remains “one of the most intimate ways of developing both romantic and unredomed connections.”
Goodbye hugs!
Last October, the Donedin Airport in New Zealand spoke with headlines when it limited the hug to three minutes in the airport cut area. On the other hand, the affiliation at the Heathrow airport in London became viral when it stated: “Max hugs the time unlimited. Farewell in departures are encouraged.”
