139: Science-Backed Benefits of Hugging: The Daily Habit to boost your happiness, immunity, connection and joy


Listen Later

Happy Valentine’s Day, Habit Thrivers!


On Episode #139 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are continuing to explore and expand our heart focus.


And today’s subject is a simple, yet powerful tool that is a mood and well-being booster that just about anyone can do: Hugging.


Giving (and receiving) hugs is so amazing for our health and wellbeing, and today we will start out by exploring the scientific reasons behind the “why”.


  • Lowers Heart Rate & Blood Pressure
  • Releases Oxytocin ("The Love Hormone")
  • Reduces Stress & Improves Heart Coherence
  • Strengthens Emotional Resilience
  • Enhances Circulation & Immune Function


Next, we’re going to discover how many hugs we should be experiencing on a daily basis (and for how long) to fully reap the benefits.


Spoiler alert: The number varies based on whether you want to just survive or thrive!


And, lastly, we’re going to talk about how we can make hugging a habit.


I’m boosting this hugging habit with a fun little challenge, so tune in and join me as a hugger-in-training!
