Hugs, in particular, are a great way to show support and comfort to someone else and remind them that they're loved and appreciated. So make sure to take the time to hug your friends, family members, or even strangers on Let’s Hug Day!
Studies have shown that hugs can help lower blood pressure, boost immunity and release the “happy hormone” serotonin - all of which can lead to reduced stress levels and feelings of calmness. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed, grab a friend or loved one and give them a hug - it might just save your day!
No matter who you are hugging or why, giving someone physical affection helps strengthen social ties and build trust. By taking the initiative to embrace another person—whether it be family members, friends, coworkers or even strangers—you are showing them kindness and respect and deepening your connection with them.
