Yeah, for sure! Hugs are good for you!

Everyone loves hugs, right? Even thinking of the word hug makes me feel positive and these days science is finding that our bodies produce a lot of chemical responses to behaviours and feelings that can have ongoing effects on our wellbeing.
Smiling is good for you too and often hugs make you smile. Laughter is also supposed to be beneficial for health (in moderation or you might get fitted up for a special jacket with long sleeves that makes you give yourself a continuous hug).
Hope you get plenty of hugs to boost your vitality and energy Crisi... hmm... I would offer to help out but we're too far
I think hugs are good for emotional health, and emotional health is good for physical health.
I wonder though, if your friend has flu and their spirits are down would you still hug them?
Or, if you have a pet porcupine or echidna and they're feeling blue... hehe... no that's just silly.
