I am digging that today is National Cuddle Up Day!!! I was blessed over the past week to have so many cuddles with all my grandkids. It is amazing what a cuddle will do for the soul. I am not making this up… Cuddling has health benefits!!! Cuddling releases oxytocin. This hormone alone has tremendous health benefits. Besides giving us warm and fuzzy feelings, oxytocin reduces pain. Are your muscles and joints aching from the cold? Well cuddle up!!!
Oxytocin also helps reduce heart disease, lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety. So grab your sweetie or your littles or your pets and get your cuddle on today!!!
