National Hugging Day
The United States Copyright Office has officially recognized National Hug Day or National Hugging Day on January 21st, but it is not a public holiday.
The day's aim is to encourage everyone to express more emotion in public. Offering a hug to anyone and everyone you want is the only way to commemorate the day. Although National Hug Day and the Free Hugs Campaign have many similarities, there is no link between the two organizations.
The mental and physical health benefits of hugging a family member or a stranger are the same whether you hug a family member or a stranger. From the day we are born, hugs or touch can improve our sleep. Hugging, similar to cuddling, releases oxytocin. This hormone, on its own, provides significant health benefits.. Not only does it promote feel-good hormones, but it also reduces pain. A hug helps reduce anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart disease. It also helps with anxiety.
