Did you know that it takes 8 hugs a day just to sustain your sense of well being, and 12 hugs to improve your mood? Hugging someone you love releases the feel good hormone oxytocin and helps reduce the harmful effects of stress by lower the stress hormone cortisol. Not bad for a 20-second love workout! So grab a loved one today, because when you get your arms around them you’ll get a healthy dose of love AND wellness. Instagram yourself hugging someone and tag #hugsforeveryone
