Cuddling for just 10 minutes a day, and regularly showering your partner with affection, provides a healthboost for the mind, body, and spirit. Studies have shown that couples who lather a steady stream of hugs and kisses on each other not only strengthen their bond, but increase their odds of staying healthy as well. Here are the proven health benefits of cuddling:
Reduces the risk of heart disease.
Lowers blood pressure.
Releases the ‘feel-good’ hormone oxytocin.
Lowers stress and anxiety.
Increases sexual desire. Regular sex is not only fun, but a key component to mental and physical health. Sex helps the body battle germs, promotes deeper sleep, and improves mood.
Boosts memory.
Improves communication.
Encourages a positive disposition.
As you can see, when it comes to health, cuddling is pretty much the new half marathon. As if you needed another reason to snuggle up!
