The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But researchers have discovered something fantastic. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, a therapeutic effect on the body and mind occurs. The reason is that a sincere hug produces a hormone called "oxytocin", also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits to our physical and mental health, helps us, among other things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. This wonderful calming remedy is offered for free every time we have a person in our arms, when we cradled a child, when we cherish a dog or cat, when we're dancing with our partner, the closer we get to someone or we simply hold the shoulders of a friend.

El Abrazo...
La duración media de un abrazo entre dos personas es de 3 segundos. Pero los investigadores han descubierto algo fantástico. Cuando un abrazo dura 20 segundos, se produce un efecto terapéutico sobre el cuerpo y la mente. La razón es que un abrazo sincero produce una hormona llamada "oxitócica", también conocida como la hormona del amor. Esta sustancia tiene muchos beneficios en nuestra salud física y mental, nos ayuda, entre otras cosas, para relajarse, para sentirse seguro y calmar nuestros temores y la ansiedad. Este maravilloso tranquilizante se ofrece de forma gratuita cada vez que tenemos a una persona en nuestros brazos, que acunamos a un niño, que acariciamos un perro o un gato, que estamos bailando con nuestra pareja, cuanto más nos acercamos a alguien o simplemente sostenemos los hombros de un amigo.
