6. It Strengthens Your Immune System
Forget downing zinc and vitamin C like they’re going out of style. Cuddling can actually boost your immune system and help to fight off infection. A study was performed in 2014, where 404 adults were all exposed to a virus. Those who received frequent hugs and cuddles in the following time period experienced less severe symptoms of disease. Again, the amazing hormone oxytocin is thought to be at work here. It’s believed that because it makes you feel good, it boosts other hormones that help to fight infection which are usually repressed when you’re stressed or depressed. It truly is the power of love.
