I’m a hugger.
There’s nothing that relaxes me
more quickly
than hugging a loved one.
It turns out
hugging is an effective stress reliever.
In September’s
Men’s Health,
Amit Sood, M.D.
shares
“You’ll get the same relaxation
from five minutes
of greeting your family
as you would from two hours of TV.”
This relaxation flows
both ways.
You become more relaxed.
Your loved one becomes more relaxed.
Instead of grabbing that remote
at the end of a stressful day,
hug your spouse, your children, your pets.
