The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds

The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But the researchers have discovered something fantastic. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The reason is that a sincere embrace produces a hormone called \”oxytocin\”, also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits in our physical and mental health, helps us, among other things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. This wonderful tranquilizer is offered free of charge every time we have a person in our arms, we cradle a child, we cherish a dog or a cat, that we are dancing with our partner, the closer we get to someone or simply hold the Shoulders of a friend.

A famous quote by psychotherapist Virginia Satir goes, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” Whether those exact numbers have been scientifically proven remains to be seen, but there is a great deal of scientific evidence related to the importance of hugs and physical contact. Here are some reasons why we should hug::

1. Stimulates Oxytocin
2. Cultivates Patience
3. Prevents Disease
4. Stimulates Thymus Gland
5. Communication without saying a word
6. Self esteem
7. Stimulates Dopamine
8. Stimulates Serotonin
9. Parasympathetic balance

Embrace, embrace with your heart ❤️
