Scientists repeatedly say that hugs have a positive effect on a person. Earlier, it was said that hugging contributes to the production of the message of joy in the body.

Which, of course, depends on our good mood. But now researchers say that daily hugs can not only give us reasons to smile more often, but also prevent us from getting sick.

If you hug for at least ten seconds, it already reduces the body’s stress level, as well as improves immunity, helps fight viral diseases, and also reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

There is even a special holiday in the world hug day. It is celebrated on January 21st.And Americans celebrate with great fanfare.

Psychologists say that if you hug four to eight times a day (each hug lasting ten seconds), then a person will feel absolutely happy.

But, unfortunately, experts did not specify who exactly should be hugged, exclusively with a loved one,

or colleagues and friends are also suitable for such a unique way to boost immunity and mood.
