Endocrinological basis of cuddle induced physical and mental wellbeing or health benefits of cuddles
1. Promotes euphoric sensation (makes you feel good) an effect that is similar to that of opiates.
2. Increases release of oxytocin (also known as the “cuddle hormone”) the hormone and neurotransmitter connected with affection and love.
3. Elevated oxytocin levels create feelings of mental calm and a pleasant sense of being connected with the rest of humanity.
4. Improved quality of sleep through serotonin related mechanisms.
5. Ameliorates effects of stress hormones therefore calms down stresses from other sources.
A few good reasons to reach out and hug someone.
**Unless you are ugly! NO ONE LOVES AN UGLY.
