Winter is here! It’s that time of the year again. Such a romantic set up with the midnight frost and the dewy window panes! We don’t even want to abandon our bed sheets that were made unmade by our rolling bodies and go out to party. Life comes at a standstill, days are short and nights are longer and colder than ever before.
Why would you ever want to leave your bed especially when you can cuddle with someone all day long! If you are one of those who says no to cuddling this article is definitely for you.
Why is cuddling healthy?
Remember “jaadu ki jhappi” from “Munna Bhai MBBS”? It was Sanjay Dutt’s (Munna Bhai in the movie) warm hug or cuddle that instantly infused positivity and rejuvenated people! Yes, a cuddle has an immense power in it!
It gives you a sense of intimacy:
Being that close to someone, especially someone you are in love with must feel liberating to say the least. It assures you of emotional stability, and that’s someone anyone will vouch for!
It releases Oxytocin
The other name of this hormone is the feel good hormone. It relaxes your nerves, calms you down and enables you to connect better with people around you or in this context right next to you!
It boosts the immune system
It has an immensely positive effect on your immune system and sends out happy thoughts and positive vibes. You will feel too good and healthy to fall sick!
Relieves pain
Whatever it is that you are going through, cuddling can ease it all. It channels your negative energies and eradicates them. It is, thus, massively therapeutic. There is nothing that cuddling cannot fix. So, grab someone you like and cuddle with them right away!
Reduces social anxiety
If you are introvert and you attend a party and someone embraces you warmly you will feel more at home. That’s how it works with cuddling as well. You tend you shut out all social pressures and negativities. You seize the moment.
Here are all the reasons that will make you want to cuddle right away. And why should you not? It will help you bond better with your partner. “Hugging increases Oxytocin levels, which is a ‘bonding’ hormone—this chemical reaction can help to reduce blood pressure, which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease.” as suggested by Catherine Connors, stress management coach.
You will be able to communicate well and your relationship will be a lot more transparent than ever before. Why should you ever say no to cuddling? Because you want that space in the bed as opposed to all these beautiful albeit healthy reasons that can vouch for cuddling? You may want to think twice and think faster or not think at all but just cuddle.
