How many hugs a person needs each day? Studies have proven the multiplici­ty of cuddling and this has been clearly demonstrat­ed via studies in the field of psychology that have shown the benefits of a hug for men or women alike, so the greater the number of hugs the greater the health and the more peaceful and harmonious a person is with himself and others. According to scientists, the benefit of a hug in psychology goes beyond that feeling that we get. They found that a hug has many benefits in strengthen­ing the immune system, increasing selfconfid­ence, increasing the secretion of the hormone of happiness, and reducing stress and psychologi­cal tension, in which we will show below: 1. A hug while looking into the eyes:

Shows the depth of love. 2. Hugging with a pawn:

This type of hug gives support and shows that this person is very close to oneself as a friend or life partner. 3. A distant hug:

Indicates that there is a large distance that neither party is able to cross.

4. A Strong hug: This hug indicates the strength of the relationsh­ip and the longing between the two parties 5. Hugging with one hand: Hugging indicates containmen­t, protection and safety, so there is no need to fear. 6. Hugging with the head on the chest:

This hug is usually during a period of sadness or complaint to the other party. How many hugs does a person need each day?

1. People need at least four hugs a day to reduce stress.

2. A person needs eight hugs per day to be able to regain his psychologi­cal harmony and to have good communicat­ion and interperso­nal skills.

3. A person needs twelve hugs a day to be able to grow in a healthy mental health, and be happier and healthier.
