Here's today's feel-good story:
Today is the day to show appreciation for all of the boys and men in your life by giving them a squeeze on National Girl Hug Boy Day!
Studies have shown that hugs make humans feel connected, loved, and encouraged. Since studies have shown that women show a genetic predisposition to affection and touch more than men, National Girl Hug Boy Day makes total sense.
Hugs are healthy because they reduce stress hormones, help with blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce pain and fears.
