January 21, 2015 is National Hugging Day! Whether you prefer Bear Hugs, Heart-to-Heart Hugs, Cheek Hugs, or Side Hugs, embrace your loved ones today to show your love and affection. Scientific studies have demonstrated that hugs are incredibly good for us. A hug can lower your blood pressure, trigger the release of healthy hormones (like oxytocin) & relieve stress. Doctors recommend a minimum of 4-6 hugs per day for our emotional & physiological well-being, but more is always better! The record for most hugs given in 1 hour by an individual is 1,749. Nick Vujicic achieved this feat at an expo center in Oregon in 2010. Find out more about National Hugging Day & celebrate it in your own special way. Create a hug chain, host a hug-a-thon, initiate a group hug, or substitute hugging for handshakes in honor of the occasion!
