Hi dear TT friends,

Today is National Hugging Day! 

"New York, Jan 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Today 21 January is the National Hugging Day. It is also an annual holiday, and is officially recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This Day was started in 1986 in Cao, Michigan and since then it has gained popularity and spread even to countries like Canada, Australia and some parts of Europe too.

There is an exclusive website dedicated to the day - http://www.nationalhuggingday.com/
Hugging is said to be a form of emotional release, and it is very good for our overall health and mental and physical being. Even though complete scientific proof might be difficult, but even the scientists believe that hugging is a very positive act, and a hug from a loved one can have very good effects on the health of our heart.

“Hugging is an excellent tonic,"  said Dr. Harold Voth, senior psychiatrist at Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas. “It has been shown scientifically that people who are mentally run-down and depressed are far more prone to sickness than those who are not. Hugging can lift depression, enabling the body’s immune system to become tuned up. Hugging breathes new life into a tired body and makes you feel younger and more vibrant. In the home, daily hugging will strengthen relationships and significantly reduce friction."
