In the meta we performed with @socialbrainlab.bsky.social dozens of studies showed being touched, often as a massage, has highly significant benefits for mental and physical health. With giving a hug having zero cost, shouldn't we just hug more? Did you hug your partner or children this morning?

Today is international hug day: a great day to hug and be hugged! We reviewed the scientific literature and were struck by how strongly such touch can improve your physical and mental health (see our meta-analysis doi.org/10.1038/s415...)! So go ahead and give a hug, and let us know how it feels!
