A Snuggle A Day Can Keep You Healthy

A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine found that thirty-eight couples who discussed a happy moment together, watched five minutes of a romantic film and shared a 20-second hug had lower levels of stress hormones and an increase in oxytocin, a hormone associated with maternal love. These shifts can contribute to cardiac health. So... a snuggle a day can keep the doctor away.
