There are two types of people in this world: those who love giving hugs, even to complete strangers, and those who find this gesture of affection a bit uncomfortable. To tell you the truth, people who hug on a daily basis are probably healthier and happier, and you’re about to find out why.  

Reduces Stress

This is the first, and the most obvious benefit of hugs that we’re all aware of. When you’re feeling down and anxious, one hug from a loved person can help you feel better.

Boosts Immunity

It sounds pretty surreal but some studies have shown that hugging can even help you reduce cold symptoms by boosting your immunity system. So next time you notice the first signs of the flu, find someone to hug.

Increases Self-Esteem

Hugging makes us all feel happy and loved, so it’s no surprise that a warm hug in a moment of crisis can boost our self-esteem and make us feel like we can conquer the world.

Promotes Trust

Physical touch is very important in relationships, whether we’re talking about relatives, friends or romantic partners. That’s why a warm embrace increases intimacy and trust between two people.

To hug or not to hug. That is the question https://mydailymagazine.com/hug-not-hug-question/ Sun, 20 May 2018 11:14:44 +0000 https://mydailymagazine.com/?p=9271 Hugging became a ‘thing’ a while ago, but the tide has turned somewhat. Now, if you hug someone without their permission, your hug might not be welcome. So should you hug or not? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bifyrb_FpR4/?tagged=hugging On one hand, a hug is just that … a hug. If you’re a hugger, you probably perceive your behavior as […]

Hugging became a ‘thing’ a while ago, but the tide has turned somewhat. Now, if you hug someone without their permission, your hug might not be welcome. So should you hug or not?

On one hand, a hug is just that … a hug. If you’re a hugger, you probably perceive your behavior as warm and welcoming.

In fact, studies show that hugs of 20 seconds or more cause the body to release oxytocin, a hormone that bonds people (and animals) together. It’s also great for the immune system and shows the other person that you’re a friendly, open person.

On the other hand, hugging brings you into close, intimate contact with someone you’ve just met. If the physical contact is unwelcome, the person can feel that their space has been invaded, and they can even feel violated.

The best thing to do to avoid offending someone is to use your judgment. If you’ve just met someone, and their posture is ‘closed’ or they’re keeping their distance, hugging probably isn’t a good idea.

If, however, the other person comes towards you with arms wide open, you’re good to go. Also, different cultures have different attitudes towards hugging. Be sure your behavior is culturally appropriate.
