https://padlet.com/pjames71/8s58mui4r7nyr4c1 National Hug Day or National Hugging Day occurs on January 21st and is officially recognized by the United States Copyright Office, but is not a public holiday. The purpose of the day is to help everyone show more emotion. The only way to celebrate the day is by offering a hug or a virtual hug. Whether you hug a family member or because of covid send a virtual hug (let someone know you care by sending warm, cheerful words of encouragement by letting them know how much they mean to you with a verbal hug until you can give them the real one), the mental and physical health benefits are the same. From the day we are born, hugs or touch improve our sleep. Hugging, like cuddling, releases oxytocin. On its own, this hormone provides tremendous health benefits. Not only does it gives us feel-good hormones, but it reduces pain. Receiving a hug helps reduce stress, lowers blood pressure, and lowers the risk of heart disease. It also eases anxiety.
