THE FUSE

Wow, do you need a hug! Now more than ever. You know why? Because every time you hug a loved one, you get a fresh burst of oxytocin, the “love chemical” or the “feel good hormone.” It relaxes and calms your nervous system with a balm of peace and comfort, and may improve overall well-being. It’s termed the love hormone for other reasons, such as making us more empathetic toward others.
