The National Hugging Day, also known as International Hug Day, or Global Hug Day, is supposed to “encourage people to openly express themselves through hugging”.
Hugging a person, no matter it’s your partner or just a friend, can make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. But aside from making us feel protected and loved, it can also be beneficial to our health.
Researchers find that giving people an affectionate squeeze can do wonders to your health.
