Hug Day
Hug Day falls on February 12 each year, marking the sixth day of Valentine's Week.
The day encourages people to express love, affection, and support through physical embraces. Be it your lover, partner, friends or children, celebrate this day with everyone through a warm hug.
Scientific Benefits of Hugging
Hugs trigger oxytocin release, which lowers blood pressure and boosts immune function, potentially reducing illness risk by up to 30%. They also ease anxiety, improve mood, and enhance heart health by slowing heart rates during stress.
