WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?

Having the opprtunity to discuss the topic of "free time activities", we shared ideas on what to do to spend the leisure time in a healthy way

HUGS MAKE US HAPPIEST PEOPLE




Current studies have shown the importance of giving and receiving hugs. These studies have shown that when people hug, the brain releases the chemical oxytocin. This encourages social bonding, increases our willingness to trust and decreases fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart. A study was conducted that measured the heart rates and blood pressure of two groups of people, a group of huggers and a group of non-huggers. Those who went without hugs were found to have a higher blood pressure and resting heart rate in comparison to the group of huggers, who had noticeably healthier results.

Without hugs we can become sad, withdrawn and depressed. A hug provides solace, safety and tenderness. A hug provides us with social contact, an overall sense of wellbeing and a feeling of importance and belonging.

So, don't be shy and hug your family and friends!
