Wellness is just a ((HUG)) away!


Hugology

Hugging is healthy. It helps the body’s immune system, it keeps you healthier, it cures depression, it induces sleep, it’s invigorating, it’s rejuvenating, it has no unpleasant side effects, and hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.

Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no pesticides, no artificial ingredients and 100 percent wholesome.

Hugging is practically perfect. There are no moveable parts, no batteries to wear out, no periodic check-ups, low energy consumption, high energy yield, inflation proof, non fattening, no monthly payments, no insurance payments requirements, theft proof, non- taxable, non polluting, and, of course, fully returnable

Every Human being needs:

4 hugs a day just to survive

8 hugs per day to maintain oneself at a particular emotional level

12 hugs a day to grow

A hug can be in any form:

Body contact

A kind word

A touch

A smile

A small gift

runningbear My niece has a son with Downs, and while I don't claim to know much about it, and maybe it's the individual child, he seems to be happier and more carefree than her other children!

Carina What an awesome blog... It's one of those that puts a smile on your face. My son has an extra "happy" chromosome (he has Down Syndrome) and he gives the best hugs!
