Description

Not everyone may be excited about the return of hugs - but according to science, it’s good for you. Touch is “really fundamental” for humans, and going without it weakens our close relationships.

 

“The more intimate touching - arm around the shoulder, a pat on the arm and this kind of things reserved for closer friendships and family members - are vital,” he says. They make us feel happier, satisfied and trusting of others. So while it’s crucial we continue to keep ourselves safe, it’s equally important that we don’t give up hugs forever.
