THE MAGIC OF A 20 SECOND HUG
The average duration of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But researchers discovered something amazing. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, it produces a therapeutic effect on the body and mind.
The reason is that a sincere hug produces a hormone called "oxytocin", also known as the hormone of love.
This substance has many benefits on our physical and mental health, it helps us by the way, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety.
This wonderful tranquilizer is offered for free every time you take a person in our arms, who cradle a child, who caresses a dog or a cat, dancing with our partner, who is approaching someone or who He just keeps a friend for his shoulders.
Today, get someone in your arms for 20 seconds, make this simple gift....."
